WE ALL GO WITH THE FLO

Robbo backs Wirtz to shine after thrashing in Frankfurt

- BY IAN DOYLE

ANDY ROBERTSON thinks Liverpool teammate Florian Wirtz will go from strength to strength after his “outstanding” Champions League performance.

Arne Slot’s men ended a four-game losing run in emphatic style with a 5-1 victory at Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday night.

And German star Wirtz was at the heart of the action, setting up Cody Gakpo for Liverpool's fourth goal.

But rather than engulf the Dutchman, many of his teammates made a beeline for the man who had laid on the opportunity.

Small wonder. For the first time in more than two months, the hard work of Wirtz had been rewarded with an assist.

Like buses, another came along shortly afterwards, although it was Dominik Szoboszlai who did most of the hard work by thumping home a simple pass from 20 yards.
