Elliot Anderson shines as Florian Wirtz disappoints in Premier League ‘hits & misses’
Anderson stood out in City’s 3-0 at Anfield, while Sky Sports says Florian Wirtz once again struggled to deliver on the big stage.
Sky Sports’ Premier League ‘hits & misses’ singles out Elliot Anderson as the standout for Manchester City at Anfield, with the midfielder’s composure and ball control front and centre in a 3-0 win.
The piece frames his impact as a response to the price tag: Jamie Carragher calls him a “bargain” at £116m, and compares the way he controls games to Rodri’s influence from the holding role. Gary Neville adds that “He dominates big games”. It also notes Anderson has won at Anfield two years running, with two different sides.
On the other end, Florian Wirtz is branded as failing to offer the expected return when the spotlight gets brightest, with Sky Sports saying he “shrinks on the big occasion again”. Elsewhere, Crystal Palace spoiled Oliver Glasner’s return at Selhurst Park, while Everton lacked the cutting edge to become European contenders.
