Fresh scrutiny hits Florian Wirtz after Liverpool openerWirtz was substituted in the 63rd minute of Liverpool’s 2–2 draw at Newcastle; Gary Neville publicly called for greater effort.
- Florian Wirtz’s move to Liverpool in summer 2025 may initially have been too big a step for the then-23-year-old.
- Wirtz scored his first Liverpool goal on matchday 18 in a 2–1 win over Wolverhampton and finished the campaign with seven goals in 49 appearances.
- In the 2–2 draw at Newcastle, Wirtz was substituted in the 63rd minute with Liverpool trailing 2–1 after missing an equalising chance shortly before halftime.
- Didi Hamann warned that a poor start would lead to debate by the first international break in mid-September over whether Liverpool was the right club for Wirtz.
He promised him that he would get the number ten and that a new team would be built around him. It's a load of rubbish!— Uli Hoeneß, commenting on Arne Slot and the Florian Wirtz situation
