Liverpool’s midfielder, Florian Wirtz, responded impressively to recent criticism from Gary Neville as Liverpool triumphed 2-0 against West Ham. Wirtz returned to the starting lineup after recovering from a minor injury that had sidelined him for previous matches. Neville had previously expressed doubts about Wirtz’s performance, calling it into question on a podcast.
In the match against West Ham, Wirtz shined with a 95% passing accuracy, showcasing his importance in Liverpool’s attacking plays. Despite some missed opportunities, Wirtz provided a crucial assist for Alexander Isak’s goal before being substituted in the second half.
Analysts like Jamie Carragher have highlighted Wirtz’s potential but emphasized the need for more impactful contributions in terms of goals and assists. Looking ahead, Liverpool aims to build on this victory as they prepare to face Sunderland and Leeds United in upcoming fixtures.
