Jamie Carragher has called for Liverpool to drop Florian Wirtz following his poor performances.

Jamie Carragher has called for Florian Wirtz to be dropped from Liverpool's starting line-up after another poor performance against Manchester City. The German midfielder, signed for £116 million, has yet to score this season and has one assist in six Premier League matches.

Carragher and fellow pundit Daniel Sturridge discussed Wirtz's form on Sky Sports, with Carragher questioning whether the player has dominated a single game for Liverpool. The pair debated whether his lack of goals and assists stems from him playing in an unfamiliar position. Carragher said it was justified to criticise Wirtz given the chances he has been given.

Wirtz had a below-par first season in the Premier League, with observers giving him the benefit of the doubt. However, his struggles have continued this season under a new manager, leading some to question his place in the team.
