Liverpool lose 3-0 to Manchester City at Anfield, and midfielder Florian Wirtz is singled out for criticism after a difficult performance. Multiple outlets report that Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher calls on Liverpool to drop Wirtz from the starting lineup.
The reports frame the criticism as part of a broader assessment of Wirtz’s impact. They note that while Wirtz had been a major signing and performed strongly in the Premier League previously, he has shown below-par form more recently. Yahoo Sports specifically links Carragher’s comments to advice to manager Andoni Iraola, while the tabloid coverage also references Liverpool’s wider context and recent changes, including Klopp-era speculation cited in those articles. Across sources, the common thread is that Carragher believes Wirtz is not contributing enough in the aftermath of the heavy defeat, and that Liverpool should consider a lineup change.
