Despite going a goal down in the early stages, Arne Slot’s team fought back valiantly to absolutely thump Frankfurt in the Champions League, with the score 5-1.

Goals from Hugo Ekitike, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Cody Gakpo, and Dominik Szoboszlai were the difference on the night.

Liverpool fans react to Florian Wirtz against Frankfurt

Liverpool fans have spoken – they think Wirtz has truly arrived at the club and will really kick on from here on in.

“Two assists for Florian Wirtz, and what a performance,” one fan says.

“Seems like all of the Florian Wirtz haters will be having a horrendous time once he gets his confidence going. Saw it tonight and it was unreal. Classy player. Once he starts delivering, he won’t stop,” another adds.

“Florian Wirtz bagged two assists. Getting back to his level, show them why Liverpool paid that much money for you,” one more says.

“The best performance we’ve seen from the Reds in ages. Florian Wirtz was absolutely sensational. Form is temporary, class is permanent,” another adds.

“Two assists for Florian Wirtz – what a world-class performance today,” one fan comments.

“I could watch Florian Wirtz play football all day. He’s absolutely unreal. What a player,” one more adds.

Are Liverpool fans overreacting to Wirtz’s Champions League display?

Let’s get real here, Wirtz is a super talented player, but one display doesn’t define him, particularly not in the Champions League against familiar German opposition.

Wirtz has struggled to adapt to the Premier League’s pace and physicality, and whilst he produced his best performance by a country mile, he has to be judged on his league form.

Liverpool made him the most expensive player in Premier League history before Alexander Isak arrived, so he must deliver on that stage.

His Champions League showing against Frankfurt was spectacular, granted, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
