Florian Wirtz is a problem for Liverpool and "looked like a little boy" in the 3-0 defeat at Manchester City, according to Gary Neville.

Wirtz, a £100m summer signing from Bayer Leverkusen - whose fee could rise to £116m - has struggled to adapt to the Premier League and is yet to register a single goal or assist after 11 games in the competition.

Neville says patience is running thin for the 22-year-old to deliver on his promise after Wirtz had "a really bad day" in the heavy loss at City, which leaves the champions eighth after 11 games.
