Carragher urges Iraola to drop Wirtz for Liverpool’s Man City clash
Jamie Carragher has urged Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola to leave Florian Wirtz out of the starting line-up against Manchester City after a sharply criticised performance against Bournemouth.
Key takeaways
- Carragher believes Wirtz should be dropped for Liverpool’s meeting with Manchester City.
- The former Liverpool defender singled out the midfielder’s display against Bournemouth.
- He labelled it among Wirtz’s poorest outings since the player joined Liverpool.
- Iraola faces a major selection decision ahead of the City fixture.
Selection pressure builds before City test
Wirtz is under scrutiny following the Bournemouth match, with Carragher arguing that Liverpool should make a change for one of their biggest upcoming games.
The call puts Iraola’s team selection firmly in focus as Manchester City await. Carragher’s assessment was particularly severe, with the pundit ranking Wirtz’s Bournemouth showing among his worst since arriving at Anfield.
Liverpool must now decide whether to keep faith with the midfielder or alter their side for the City clash.
