Wirtz's ball bounced a meter

On the night of October 4, Florian Wirtz handled the situation quite poorly when Liverpool lost 1-2 to Chelsea in round 7 of the Premier League.

Wirtz's amateurish first pass.

The incident happened in the 82nd minute at Stamford Bridge. Wirtz received a favorable pass from Cody Gakpo in front of the penalty area. Without much pressure from Chelsea players, the former Leverkusen star appeared confused and let the ball bounce away.

Wirtz's poor first touch cost Liverpool a potential goal-scoring opportunity, with many fans expressing disappointment with the £116m signing.

"Worst player ever seen", "Maybe the high price put pressure on Wirtz", "116 million pounds now only gets you a player like that", "Wirtz used to be very good", "Kai Havertz is even better", "It's a crime to spend 116 million pounds"... are the common reactions of the online community.

After eight games without a goal or assist, coach Arne Slot decided to leave Wirtz on the bench. He came on at the start of the second half and showed his positive side. Wirtz created a great chance that was missed by his teammates, made a pass that opened up a scoring opportunity, made an interception and made two successful tackles.

However, Wirtz only touched the ball 29 times with a passing accuracy of 69%, lost the ball 10 times, and won only 2/8 challenges. Sofa Score gave the German midfielder 6.3 points for his performance against Chelsea.

£116 million signing Wirtz is clearly still struggling in a Liverpool shirt. Meanwhile, coach Arne Slot and his team are under pressure after suffering their third consecutive defeat in all competitions.
