🚨🚨OFFICIAL: Ryan Gravenberch is named Player of the Match for the Liverpool vs. AC Milan game🏅
UEFA has awarded the Player of the Match title to Ryan Gravenberch, who performed admirably once again. While it may not have been as thrilling as his previous game at Old Trafford before the international break, he still delivered an impressive performance.
The Reds didn’t acquire a number six during the summer, but Slot likely wouldn’t be performing as well if they had. Gravenberch has made an excellent start in his new role and was one of the few players who can say they contributed positively in the loss to Nottingham Forest.
Gravenberch played very well in the games against Ipswich Town, Brentford, and Manchester United. He made 90% of his passes against Milan and got the ball back for his team 10 times while also intercepting six passes.
Even though it wasn’t as good as Old Trafford, it was another game that showed he can play the deeper part well.
On the stronger teams, Gravenberch has demonstrated that he performs best in the midfield alongside Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. The combination of their strong and technical abilities creates a solid mix among the three. Against Bournemouth, those players will likely get an opportunity to prove they can effectively dismantle a low block defense.
