The Premier League champions were beaten 3-0 by Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon in what was yet another blow in their title hopes which are currently in tatters.
Liverpool were without summer signing Florian Wirtz after he picked up a knock after the international break but many feel the German international would not have turned the game around after what has been a poor start in Merseyside.
In 2024, Wirtz became the first German player in the last 30 years with 15 goals and 15 assists in a single season for a team in Europe's top five leagues. However, after signing for Liverpool he has been a shell of himself, leading to many pundits questioning his ability.
Speaking to Sky Sports this week, Henry suggested that players from the Bundesliga often struggle to adapt.
“It’s not easy to arrive in a team and perform straight away, as we can see with Florian Wirtz at Liverpool. But I always have a question mark over people who perform in Germany. That’s only me,” he said.
“I’m not saying they won’t perform in another league, I’m just saying because of the way the league is there, really stretched, if you can run well you’re going to have a lot of opportunities, goals and assists.
"People can run with you in this league, so it’s very difficult.”
Wirtz came with an outstanding reputation following two exceptional seasons in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen. Manager Arne Slot is yet to get the best out of him so far in the lead up to the Christmas break where and AFCON where he will be needed more than ever.
