Ryan Gravenberch

Does anyone notice that having him back made a huge difference to how we played?.

No, but what I HAVE noticed is that, when he plays, we play differently. Hugely.

I have noticed that this season he is definitely playing a more advanced role and is often ahead of the ball when we lose it. I know that we are, more often than not, playing against a low block but I’d welcome the stability that he brings when he’s deep. We have enough firepower to trouble the opposition without him, as long as we remain patient.

Yeah having him back in there made a huge difference to the way we played

Sky Sports News understands the midfielder is fine and was withdrawn as a precaution, with the team already 3-0 up and the long season ahead for club and country firmly in mind.

After his side beat Finland 4-0 on Sunday in the end, Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman said: "[Gravenberch] indicated he had some minor hamstring problems.

"Of course, we didn't take any risks with that."

That’s a great article , thanks for posting. And how true is this bit

"There are not many central midfield players who can carry the ball through the lines. Most midfielders are passers through the lines.
"He is a terrific passer, but his great body movement allows him to let the ball run across him, then he has that great athleticism, which allows him to glide past people effortlessly

Saw this on a FB fan site & I hope it’s true.

�� Liverpool FC are ready to reward Ryan Gravenberch with a new long-term deal.

He is under contract until 2028 but the Reds want to tie him down to reflect his importance to the team.

Very real possibility he'll win the POTY this season, he's that good. Makes everything look so easy.

If players are out of contract then you aren't signing them from their previous club as such, as soon as their contract expires they don't belong to anyone so a rule like that would never work

In the cass of them freely tapping up Konate after doing the same to Trent it might, both of whom were under contract when Madrid started their pursuit

[Exiled_red]

Should be a limit to the amount of players you can sign for free from a club. One every three years would be fair

You would start to wonder why he didn’t just take the Liverpool job…

TW has suggested that Slot was No1 candidate from day one of the search by Edwards and Hughes. There’s no question he was a candidate but I think his standing on the list was highly press driven.

The weather ? Well he knows FSG are looking at buying a Club in the warmer climes of Spain or Portugal so maybe that’s it
