In the 8th round of the Premier League, Liverpool lost 2-1 to Manchester United at home. Wirtz came on as a substitute and played 28 minutes, and his performance in this game was regarded by fans as having improved compared to before.
However, he still failed to contribute directly to a goal—so far, his stats for direct goal involvement (goals + assists) remain 0 goals and 0 assists in 10 games since the start of the Premier League season.
The only direct goal contribution in his Liverpool career so far is still the assist he provided for Ekitike in the Community Shield final.
