Former Manchester United and Bayern Munich midfielder Owen Hargreaves has shared his thoughts on Wirtz's slow start, suggesting that Liverpool manager Arne Slot needs to find the right balance in the team's lineup.
Hargreaves pointed out that Liverpool's midfield was one of the strongest in the league last season, featuring players like Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, and Dominik Szoboszlai. He believes that the addition of Wirtz should not disrupt the team's balance, but rather complement it.
Hargreaves noted that the team has made several changes, including playing Szoboszlai at right back and introducing new full-backs. He also pointed out that Ibrahima Konate has made some mistakes, which were not seen last season.
Hargreaves thinks that finding the right balance is crucial for Liverpool's success, and that Slot needs to consider how to incorporate Wirtz into the team without upsetting the chemistry of the existing lineup.
