Florian Wirtz delivers for Liverpool – but is playmaker Andoni Iraola’s great conundrum?
Wirtz’s strengths are clear.
Following his latest performance, no player has created more chances in the Premier League this season. He is level with Brighton‘s Pascal Gross on 18.
He played in Munoz to begin Liverpool‘s fightback, meaning Wirtz has assisted in back-to-back games for Liverpool across all competitions for the first time – although this was only his second goal involvement in seven league games this term.
