Florian Wirtz has endured a difficult start to life in the Premier League, failing to register a single goal or assist in his 11 appearances to date. The Germany international, signed by Liverpool for a huge 116 million from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer, has fared better in the Champions League, but so far the consensus is that he has thoroughly underwhelmed.
The Orioles, projected for 88 wins, find themselves at 36-47, showcasing an unexpected underperformance despite high hopes for their talent-rich roster.
