Goal has reversed its assessment of Florian Wirtz, praising the midfielder after his display in Liverpool’s comeback win over Villarreal and saying he proved his critics wrong.
It’s a striking turnaround from the same outlet, which only yesterday ran a piece arguing Wirtz has no future at the club and his struggles continue.
Wirtz has been under intense scrutiny since joining Liverpool. Goal suggested earlier this week that doubts over him were deepening, while Jamie Carragher recently changed his mind and praised his ‘special’ qualities after previously backing him to be dropped. Other pundits have questioned whether his number 10 role leaves Liverpool too open defensively.
This is one outlet changing course after a single performance rather than any shift in consensus around the midfielder.
