Reigning English champions Liverpool have been sparking widespread discussion in recent weeks due to unsuccessful results. After losing to Crystal Palace in the Premier League and missing a chance against Galatasaray in the second round of the UEFA Champions League, the club has been subjected to harsh criticism from fans and experts.
Criticism directed at the virus
One of the players facing criticism is Florian Wears, who was acquired for a record fee during the summer transfer window. Liverpool paid Bayer Leverkusen €125 million for his transfer, the largest amount in the English Premier League at the time.
The club's management and fans expected the German playmaker to immediately become the leader. However, the 22-year-old's adaptation to English football is not progressing as quickly as expected.
Results & insights
Wears has made six appearances in the Premier League and two in international tournaments. However, so far, he hasn't recorded any effective action - a goal or an assist.
His debut for Liverpool coincided with the FA Community Shield. Back then, Wears had given a goal-scoring pass, inspiring hope. But after that, he played eight matches in a row.
Expert and Fan Reviews
Currently, many football analysts emphasize that Wiers is not yet worthy of his place in the starting lineup. They are urging head coach Arne Slot to put the young German player on the bench.
According to many, his acquisition at a high cost increased the pressure on the player. Although a high level of effectiveness was expected from the virus, so far it has not shown such a result.
Conclusion
Liverpool faces very difficult rounds and important matches. At such a time, the direction of Wirz's activity becomes decisive both for the team and for him. If he doesn't get into form in a short time, his status with the team could be seriously questioned.
