What happened. Jamie Carragher said Wirtz does not fit into Liverpool's team under Andoni Iraola, following the midfielder's poor start to the season.

• Wirtz was hauled off after just over an hour in the 2-2 draw with Newcastle.
• Carragher dismissed the idea that players need a year to settle in the Premier League.
• Wirtz scored seven goals and notched ten assists in an inconsistent debut campaign.

“What to do with Wirtz? I've been seen as critical of Florian Wirtz maybe last season.”

— Jamie Carragher

Carragher's comments add pressure on Wirtz to improve under new boss Iraola.
