What happened. Didi Hamann has branded Florian Wirtz's £116m move to Liverpool a 'huge misunderstanding' and suggested the club will eventually 'pull the plug' on him. Wirtz has struggled for form since arriving at Anfield, drawing heavy criticism.

• Jamie Carragher called Wirtz's display against Bournemouth 'one of the poorest I've ever seen him in a Liverpool shirt'.
• Carragher added: 'I don't think Wirtz is in poor form since he came to Liverpool. I actually think what we're seeing is what he is.'
• Andy Robertson said Wirtz and Alexander Isak found it hard to settle after Diogo Jota's death.

“Even the English have now realised that what happened between Liverpool and Wirtz looks like a huge misunderstanding.”

Wirtz's form will be under scrutiny during the international break as pressure mounts over his Liverpool future.
