Carragher calls for withdrawal of Wirtz from Liverpool's starting lineup

Jamie Carragher, the former Liverpool legend and sports analyst, has criticized the German Florian Wirtz, urging not to rely on him in the starting lineup for the team during the current period, amid growing criticism of his performances since joining the English club.

Jamie Carragher's comments came after Liverpool's match against Manchester City, where he felt that Szoboszlai did not deliver the expected performance and did not pose a real attacking threat. He suggested that continuing to include him as a starter needs to be reviewed given his declining impact on the pitch.

Jamie Carragher has stated that Wirtz has had enough opportunities to prove his abilities, pointing out that the team cannot continue to guarantee him a spot in the starting lineup, especially with the need to enhance balance in midfield. He called for giving Dutchman Ryan Gravenberch a bigger role.

The criticism intensifies amid the high financial value of the deal, as Wirtz has joined Liverpool for around £116 million, with great expectations that he will provide the anticipated addition. However, his recent performances have reignited the debate about his ability to meet those expectations.
