"It's fair to say it's proving to be another difficult night for Liverpool summer signing Florian Wirtz against Leeds United. The first half of this evening's game ended 0-0, with Wirtz once again struggling to make much of a positive impact against the kind of opposition Liverpool fans would really expect to beat quite comfortably. The Reds did notably drop points away to Leeds recently in a thrilling 3-3 draw at Elland Road, while tonight they're struggling to find a breakthrough at Anfield."

Florian Wirtz struggled to make a positive impact during a goalless first half as Liverpool failed to break down Leeds. A poor touch from Wirtz on a Liverpool break involving the rapid Frimpong saw his control fail and resulted in a foul. Mark Goldbridge described the performance as shocking, and Leeds fans taunted him with a "What a waste of money!" chant after a wasted shot. The Liverpool Echo gave Wirtz a 6/10 at half-time. Wirtz joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen for substantial transfer fees and has been labeled a major disappointment despite 57 goals in 197 Leverkusen appearances.
