International player Florian Wirtz remains a polarizing topic of conversation around Liverpool FC and has sparked a heated debate with his recent performance in the 3-1 away victory against Crystal Palace.

At the center of it: Liverpool's club icon Jamie Carragher, who had criticized Wirtz sharply in recent weeks and months.

The 48-year-old former professional's characterization of the former Leverkusen player's goal against Crystal Palace as fortunate prompted the high-reach X account "The Anfield Talk" to respond strongly.

The account stated that Carragher was once again attempting to disparage their own players and was actively refusing to give them credit.

The 38-time England international was unwilling to let that stand. He responded to "The Anfield Talk" post by stating that Wirtz had some luck with his goal and had experienced bad luck a few weeks prior.

Carragher accused "The Anfield Talk" of using his quotes to generate attention, along with a few other online supporters.

He demanded that they express their own opinions and not simply say what would bring them likes and retweets.

Wirtz's shot was pure chance, according to Carragher, because he struck the ball with his right foot from the left side.

Liverpool FC back on the winning track

Before the victory against Crystal Palace, Liverpool FC had suffered two consecutive competitive defeats. In London, Wirtz and company found their way back to winning ways.

The 23-year-old, who had returned to the Reds' starting lineup following their recent Champions League appearance at Fenerbahçe, scored in the 54th minute after Bradley Barcola's assist with a placed right-footed shot into the far corner.

In an entertaining match, Alexis Mac Allister gave the Reds the lead in the 40th minute with a header following a pass from Dominik Szoboszlai. Alexander Isak sealed the victory with the 3-0 in the 89th minute.

Shortly before the final whistle, Edward Nketiah scored for Crystal Palace from the penalty spot in the 90th+5 minute.
