Following Liverpool's 0-3 defeat to Manchester City, Jamie Carragher heavily criticised Florian Wirtz. According to Voetbalnieuws and Voetbalprimeur, the former club player believes the midfielder should no longer be a starter. He judges that the German international, recruited last summer for a significant fee, does not contribute enough.

According to Football365, Carragher explained why Andoni Iraola should start Ryan Gravenberch instead of Wirtz. TEAMtalk reports that the analyst, furious, felt the player does "not do enough" and must be removed from the team immediately. Metro and Daily Mail also mention his call to halt this situation, referring to Wirtz's transfer as Jurgen Klopp's "last hope".
