Ryan Gravenberch is named Player of the Match for the Liverpool vs. AC Milan game

🚨🚨OFFICIAL: Ryan Gravenberch wins the POTM for the match between Liverpool vs AC Milan🏅

UEFA gave the Player of the Match award to Ryan Gravenberch, and the Dutchman did a great job again. It wasn’t as exciting as his game at Old Trafford before the break for internationals, but he was still very good.

Reds didn’t buy a number six in the summer, but Slot probably wouldn’t be playing as well for them if they had. Gravenberch has had a great start in his new role, and he was one of the few players who could say they did something good 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 better teams, Gravenberch has now shown that he works best in the middle of the field with Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. There is a good mix of strong and technical skills among those three players. Bournemouth will likely give those players a chance to show they can also break down a low block.
