‘He needs help’ – Steven Gerrard suggests one Liverpool player may be ‘beating himself up’
Story updated
The story in brief
32-second readSteven Gerrard has said that Florian Wirtz ‘needs help’ from his teammates and coaches at Liverpool in order to rediscover his confidence.
The German playmaker endured a disappointing first season at Anfield in 2025/26, scoring just seven times in 49 games after his £100m move from Bayer Leverkusen, and he’s yet to get off the mark in seven matches so far this term.
Jamie Carragher has been calling for the 23-year-old to be dropped from the starting XI, doubling down on that message after the Reds’ defeat to Manchester City on Sunday ( Sky Sports ), but another ex-LFC player believes that our number 7 needs an arm around the shoulder rather than a kick up the backside.
