Craig Burley has criticised Florian Wirtz’s first season at Liverpool, warning the club may eventually have to sell the £116m signing if his performances do not improve.
Speaking on ESPN FC after Liverpool’s defeat to Galatasaray, Burley questioned whether the German playmaker has met expectations.
“Let’s stop beating around the bush with Florian Wirtz. I’m fed up. What he did in Germany is what he did in Germany.
That’s gone. He’s so lightweight in this Liverpool team, it’s unbelievable. He’s so lacking conviction in the final third, it’s incredible.
“If it’s not goals, where’s the passing? Where’s those dribbling mazy runs he was doing at Leverkusen, beating three or four players, dropping his shoulder and scoring? Where is it?”
