Underwhelming Start: German Star Becomes Latest Addition to Liverpool’s "007" List

Florian Wirtz's become the latest addition to Liverpool’s so called "007" club .. a term fans use for players who fail to score or assist in their first seven matches for new club.

The 22 year old German arrived from Bayer Leverkusen this season for around 125 million euro but his start at Anfield has been underwhelming.

In his 1st seven Premier League appearances, Wirtz has 0 goal and 0 assist drawing sharp criticism from fans & pundits alike.

Historical Perspective

Wirtz’s early struggles mirror the beginnings of other stars. Thierry Henry for example, failed to score or assist in his first 7 Arsenal games in 1999, yet went on to become 1 of the Premier League’s greatest forwards.
