Florian Wirtz: Liverpool Fans Driving the Agenda?

The buzz around Anfield this season isn’t just about the Reds’ form—it’s also about fans singling out individual players. And right now, one name keeps popping up across fan debates: Florian Wirtz.

The 21-year-old German midfielder has created 21 chances in all competitions, the most of any player for a Premier League club this season. He shares top spot with Jack Grealish, leaving behind big names like Bryan Mbeumo (18) and Bruno Fernandes (17). Those numbers speak for themselves, and Liverpool fans have to be excited.

Social media is full of supporters criticising Wirtz. Mainly because he has not provided a goal or assist in Eight games however the stats highlight his creativity is exactly what the Reds need to break down low blocks and maintain attacking fluency in tight matches. We will see this as the season goes on, particularly in the festive period. 

Like Van Dijk said after the Crystal Palace defeat: "There is no reason to worry", even after another dedeat in Turkey under the lights on Tuesday.

Don't worry be happy! #YNWA 🔴 @VirgilvDijk

🗣 "I don't think there is any reason to worry, but we have to improve pretty quickly as obviously we play in Turkey on Tuesday. We have a very difficult game there as well, so we have to be ready." pic.twitter.com/EGudQPbAAa
