GARY NEVILLE CRITICISES ISAK AND WIRTZ AFTER NEWCASTLE DRAW

Gary Neville criticised Liverpool players Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz following a 2-2 Premier League draw between Newcastle United and Liverpool on Sunday. Neville stated that the pair, described as a £240m investment by Liverpool, were "too nice" and called for them to improve their performance. He used the phrase "I want to put a rocket up him" when discussing his concerns about their display.

Neville's comments came after Newcastle and Liverpool drew 2-2 in what he characterised as a poor showing from the Liverpool attacking players. The match took place on 23 August. Neville suggested that the standard of performance from Isak and Wirtz fell short of expectations, stating "enough is enough" regarding what he saw as insufficient effort and aggression from the pair.

Neville's remarks reflected broader scrutiny of Liverpool's attacking options at the start of the season. His criticism highlighted questions about whether the club's significant financial outlay on these players would translate into the consistent performances required during a competitive campaign.
