It’s safe to assume that Ryan Gravenberch is starting to settle into his Liverpool role.
The Dutch international put up a strong first-half performance at Anfield under the lights, demonstrating his superior midfield leadership as Jurgen Klopp’s team led 3-1 at the break.
The statistics provided by WhoScored.com on X (formerly Twitter) show how crucial the former employee of Bayern Munich was to the Reds taking control of their Europea League match against Toulouse in the opening forty-five minutes.
Our No. 38 replaces the suspended Curtis Jones on the left side of the midfield, building on a very positive first half display during the Merseyside derby.
Gravenberch will not be benched; he is here to stay!
When our Englishman returns from suspension to league action, Jurgen Klopp will see this performance and realise that there is absolutely no way he can justify benching Gravenberch.
While we’re at it, please give Thomas Tuchel and the smart, smart Bayern Munich officials a dozen more. They are the ones who shockingly let a player with the 21-year-old’s potential slide through their fingers.
If our newest addition can continue his previous success, they will have a very difficult time defending that decision in even a year.
