Carragher urges Iraola to drop Wirtz from Liverpool starting XI

Jamie Carragher has called for Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola to drop midfielder Florian Wirtz from the starting lineup following a lackluster performance against Bournemouth, where he was substituted 20 minutes before the end of the match. Wirtz, who has struggled to justify his £100 million transfer, scored only five goals in 32 Premier League appearances since joining 15 months ago. Carragher emphasized the urgency for Iraola to make tough decisions before Liverpool's upcoming match against Manchester City on October 11. Other sources suggest that the coach is weighing his options for the squad ahead of that fixture.
