Ryan Gravenberch may have answered quite a few questions in Liverpool’s Premier League opener against Ipswich Town.
The limelight will undoubtedly be on the likes of Mo Salah, Diogo Jota and Trent Alexander-Arnold but we absolutely shouldn’t forget our Dutchman’s showing in a role that has concerned fans over the summer.
We may have missed out on Martin Zubimendi, but the former Bayern Munich midfielder has shown some impressive early signs as we secured a 2-0 win over Kieran McKenna’s men.
Just take a look at how well he controlled a strong pass out of defence before navigating his way out of pressure to kick-start a Liverpool attack leading to our Portuguese international’s goal.

Look at Konaté trusting Gravenberch has the ability to get the right touch on this fizzer of a pass.
Look at Gravenberch take it with pure composure, with two men on him, hit the pausa and play it to Trent.
