BRENTFORD 1-2 LIVERPOOL - OLIVER HOLT AT THE GTECH COMMUNITY STADIUM: It was not a classic head butt that put Jeremy Jacquet down deep into time added on at the end of the first half. In other cultures‚ in other eras‚ it might have been interpreted as a nod of recognition from Yehor Yarmoliuk. But it was enough. Yarmoliuk was sent off and the game was changed. Until then‚ Liverpool had struggled to assert themselves. Bradley Barcola had missed a gilt-edged chance‚ Florian Wirtz had spent another match fretting at the margins and Andoni Iraola's team were soon to suffer two injury blows when both Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong were forced off.
Paul Scholes reveals perfect transfer for Florian Wirtz as another Reds star told he is ‘not Liverpool standard'
Wirtz was one of the biggest movers in the Premier League last season but had a below-par season‚ with many giving him the benefit of the doubt considering it was his first season in the division. But he has continued to struggle this term too‚ and under a new manager‚ with the German yet to score and picking up just one assist in the six top flights matches so far this season. His performances have led to some questioning his place in the Liverpool team‚ and former Reds defender Carragher is now front and centre of that after Wirtz's showing against Manchester City on Sunday.
Wirtz‚ who cost Liverpool £116million a little over a year ago‚ has struggled to hit the ground running at Anfield and come under heavy criticism for his performances this season. Jamie Carragher has led the criticism‚ arguing that Wirtz's weekend performance against Bournemouth was 'one of the poorest I've ever seen him in a Liverpool shirt'. Hamann‚ meanwhile‚ has explained he expects Wirtz to leave the club.
Former Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has admitted that Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz struggled to settle in at Anfield last season because the squad 'didn't care about football' following the death of Diogo Jota. Jota was tragically killed in a car accident alongside his brother Andre Silva in northern Spain in July 2025. The 28-year-old had been on his way to report to Merseyside for pre-season training. In the same summer‚ Liverpool purchased both Isak and Wirtz for a combined £241million. However‚ both players struggled in what was a difficult season for the Reds‚ as they finished fifth in the Premier League.
