Impact Wirtz thought he had his first Premier League goal, when he finished into the top corner, but in the end it was ruled an own goal. The attacking midfielder has been frustrated with Liverpool as he creates chances frequently, but none of them find the back of the net.

Single shot Sunday Wirtz registered one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 victory against West Ham United.

Impact Wirtz took one shot and created one chance Sunday, another solid performance that was left without a goal contribution. That's been the story of life in Liverpool for the German playmaker. The attacking midfielder remains threatening when on the pitch, but he just can't consistently find end product. Wirtz should remain a top contributor moving forward.

Impact It's unclear if Wirtz would be included on the matchday squad with only one training session under his belt, but given the recent results, Liverpool need all the help they can get to turn things around.

This is a blow for the playmaker because he has been struggling to perform for the Reds since his arrival and was finally seeing decent playing time recently to work toward that. Until he recovers Cody Gakpo is expected to regain a starting role on the left wing for Liverpool.
