"The Biggest Disappointment" - Neville Points Finger at Liverpool Duo After Newcastle Match

  • On the Gary Neville Podcast, former Manchester United defender Gary Neville criticized German playmaker Wirtz after Sunday's match, stating 'I can see a real player there, but I can't keep watching this stuff' following his substitution at 60 minutes while Liverpool trailed 2-1.
  • Neville questioned Wirtz's effort during the match, stating 'I don't see the tenacity in Wirtz, in particular. I see a nice player moving around the pitch not really ever looking like he is busting a gut to do anything.'
  • Swedish forward Alexander Isak also drew scrutiny for his first appearance back at St James' Park, with Neville noting Liverpool has 'this quarter-of-a-billion-pound front two, Isak and Wirtz.'
  • Both players must deliver soon or face mounting criticism, Neville warned, noting 'They have both had a bit of a free ride' despite Isak's previous injury and Arne Slot's departure.
  • Despite acknowledging their talent, Neville demands accountability, stating 'I want to put a rocket up him because there is ability there' and 'I think they are going to have to start delivering.
