Ryan Gravenberch - Welcome to Liverpool

[sir roger]

Was awful today, but saw him called lazy in the match thread when he has actually run further than anybody else in the squad this season.

Just his running style is quite languid so it leads jabronis down the wrong path. He was fucking awful though. No escaping that. 

[Strontium]

I didn't want us to sign him in the first place, but one thing I would say is that he has time on his side, incredibly he's still only 21 even though he looks as old as Fabinho.

[SasaS]

I thought for a second he was going to tackle Trent in that counter.

[Carra_is_legend]

We wasted a sub today. The lad was fucking abysmal. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

He seems to have all the technical ability in the world but lacking that will too win. I watch him and think it needs to matter more, you've got to face every ball in your vicinity like its all that matters. It's not the park any more your will to win is every bit as important as the years you've put in to being good with ball. At the top level mentality is everything.

[KevieG]

He should have stayed down and made a meal of the Saka challenge as well. Needs to be more tuned in

I think he needs a few slaps in the chops , or maybe a flick of the ears to stir some aggression in him before we send him out to play.

Where's that stat come from? I can't see how he's run further than players who've played probably double his minutes. He rarely finishing a game because he's dead on his feet after 60. I thought Dom was way out ahead of everyone on all those types of stats, running , pressing and all that stuff. 

[Lee909]

Didn't see the game today as I'm on nights and didn't get up in time. I get that overall it was a shitshow but hearing people say Gravenberch had a decent game, did he?. 

 

Was he playing more advanced?. 

[3 Stacks]

He played pretty well. Showed his ability.

[Scott_M]

Thought he was good yesterday. There is a player in there, its whether we can get it out of him consistently. 

 

About to turn 22, time is on his side but I would have hoped to see a little more by now.

[aws]

He looked like he might have both the ability and grit to make it in the Prem.  

[Barrington Womble]

I don't know about him playing well, but he wasn't shit. 

[sir roger]

Thought it was probably his best game for us, and the Slot coronation might work in his favour.

[bossy]

His best game for us. Not a high bar I know, but he deffo has talent.

[VladimirIlyich]

A new Dutch manager and a generous serving of Dutch players means we will be Ajax of the 1970s! 

Pass to the Dutchie on the left hand side. 

[Binomial]

For me one of our best players against West Ham, if not the best. Between him and Diaz.

 

Expectations have ruined his time here.

[Red74]

He showed us everything about him when he had a ball played into him in the 6 yard box that he could have controlled, turned, read a paper and then slotted. Instead he tried the gayest fucking flick imaginable instead. 
 

Another expensive misfit who we’ll never miss. 
 

Out the door asap

[3 Stacks]

I'm generally on the "he's useless" side, but he's winning me over a tiny bit. He does stuff in matches that's exciting.  

 

I don't think we need him and Jones, though. They aren't different enough and they're close to the same age. We might as well get rid of one of them.
