great video love your content keep up the good work!
As a Liverpool fan, slot has transformed a lot of our players, Diaz, gakpo, and gravenberch are looking like completely different players. Gakpo and diaz' finishing has improved fantastically, and gravenberch has become a massive presence in the midfield. I know this is a bit far fetched but I really think we can challenge for the title this season
The ones good in player management are better than team managers...they can easily find better value in existing players
Trent also
Waaaaay to soon....... making steps, but a loooonnng way ro go.....
A couple injuries and our season could easily be derailed. Let's chill and revisit after February
Not so far fetched anymore ;)
Zubimendi not coming was a blessing in disguise
Hes coming in January
@@Big_Kala He rejected Liverpool to stay at real sociedad, so I don't think he will join them
almost every player that doesn’t sign for us is a blessing in disguise atp 😭
He is regretting it now
No we need him , it’s a squad game
Currently since Rodri is injured Granvenberch is the best cdm in the league
He was before the injury to currently
Too short a time span. I think rice is also a contender and overall if gravy can keep this consistency he will be the best dm in the world
@@Firey69rice mostly as 8 not 6 when partey play
@Firey69 rice is not in the conversation. He's just English. He was a filler to the real deal come .. it's not short for me , he's proven himself. Only thing that can derail him is injury . Actually the best dm in the league
You mean the best in the world
I love him man, his rise is phenomenal, hope he can keep improving
He looks fantastic. We’ll see how he handles City or a top opponent in the CL.
We played Milan away. I know they've not been at their best in recent years but to do it in that game I have no doubt in my mind that he can handle the situations you named.
@@3dits825 incomparable mate.
Soo that city game 😂
This comment aged like milk
A holding midfielder who also turns defence into attack within seconds. Incredible.
Grav is Coutinho, Wijnaldum and Fabinho all in 1.
Then why can’t he just play DM instead of you needing to buy one
Which one does he resemble most
@@YuuArgay he is our 1st DM pick. But we played in double pivot now & injury will be problem, especially in physichically demanding EPL. Liverpool need better squad depth if we want to challenge Man city, not just this season but in long term. We had that quality depth squad for foward only, the rest could follow.
@@arahaitham123It’s insane to me that Liverpool fans rate Endo so low. He is certainly good enough to start. To have him on the bench is an incredible option. You have the depth, now excuses must stop.
@@YuuArgay I don't think we rate Endo that low. We acknowledge him more compare to other current bench players. But he doesn't seems going to be in Slot system for long. Not because he is bad no 6, but because Slot want more creative no 6 in his system & also potential squad regeneration issue (let's not repeat what we did not do after Wijnaldum left). So don't worry, we'll appreciate his contribution just like when Minamino left the club.
What am seeing between Arne Slot and Ryan Gravenbarch, is what we saw between Jurgen and Bobby firmino when both were in Germany, Jurgen knows what kind of player Bobby was in Germany that why he was happy when he saw Bobby at Liverpool. And that is what we are seeing now between Arne Slot and Ryan Gravenberch.
I thought exactly the same thing
If he is even 10% of gullit he will be star. Gullit was probably one of the greatest ever to play. Apart from goalkeeper, you put gullit in any position and he became the best in that position
@@Clout_chasing_boy don’t think we will ever seen a player of gullits actual calliber. Such a unicorn of a player
Now this comment is real and honest. YNWA!
@@pedtalkssports And yet the click-bait thumbnail....
Facts
i like this guy. hope he continues to do well. his touches have that magic and x factor.
This is top quality man nicely done
Gullit was world class in defense, midfield and attack
So happy he's getting recognized. As someone who never saw him at Ajax, which is most of us, we never expected him to be that good as a six. But here he is, a MUCH better performer than Zubimendi so far and I'm so glad the deal didn't happen now.
Which is "most of us"?
@@Joe-ss9cr most of us Liverpool fans just seeing Gravenberch reveal his full potential.
@@KnightMDyou are up for a threat i have seen him since 15 years of age in Ajax academy. This is just the beginning, believe me!
Just because you don't watch zubimendi don't talk crap about him 😂
Great work putting this together, well done!
Ruud Gullit wasn’t a central midfielder. He was primarily a forward, often playing as a No. 10, but his versatility allowed him to excel in almost every position on the pitch, except goalkeeper.
Ruud Gullit wasn’t “primarily” anything. He came up as a right back, then a center back, then a defensive mid, then a world class playmaking no. 10. when Van basten was injured, Ruud would play as a 9 on occasion and by the time he went to Chelsea, he was a sweeper.
Gullit is the most versatile player I have ever seen play.
@@SKa-tt9nm That's not entirely accurate. Gullit started as a sweeper at Haarlem but transitioned to central midfield and gradually moved further forward, eventually playing as a No. 10 for Feyenoord. Crucially, during his peak years, he also played as a No. 10 at PSV. At Milan, Sampdoria, and with the Netherlands, he was predominantly used as a No. 10, either as an attacking midfielder or second striker. Although he was versatile enough to play in various positions depending on tactics, his primary role remained as a No. 10. When he moved to Chelsea, well past his peak, he reverted to sweeper, but that didn’t go so well, so he shifted back to midfield. Regardless, his primary position was as a No. 10.
Ruud was a bit like Gerrard. Best player in every position 😂
Gullit started his professional career as cb lol and he played everywhere during his career. Probably the most versatile player ever.
Amazing video bro. You’re spot on with everything you said and you highlighted the issues he’s had and the new found role he now has, a role that he’s excelling in and frequently picking up man of the match awards 👍
Appreciate that ❤
What a thoughtful and insightful video. Keep up your analyses!👌🏾⚽️⚽️⚽️❤️
great vid brev. Hoping to see more quality contents
Well done video. Such good production and videos to tie it all in.
Very well researched, created and edited video. 👍
Always love redemption arc in football career! ❤ I hope gravenberch can write his name with liverpool on football history!
He is press resistant, good with both feet shooting, heads up player and has a hell of a tank. We haven't seen his best yet, but he needs to stay fit.
Bro the thumbnail is so wrong, Gullit was the most complete footballer as in he could play every position on a elite level (which he also did). Gravenberch is looking good on 1 position. Thumbs up to Slot tho, this is his 3th no.6 who he transformed and made so much better. This is no coincidence anymore, he singlehanded solved the dutch national teams no 6 problem.
If you bothered to watch the video you would see at no point did i say gravenberch is better than or as good as gullit. It was a comparison of qualities that are often evident within dutch midfielders. I would highly recommend actually watching the video instead of rushing to the comments to weep.
@@pedtalkssports Why not use a famous Dutch midfielder in the thumbnail then, rather than a player most famous for being a forward?
@@pedtalkssports Gullit was not a midfielder, that is the point though. His most starts were as right winger, than striker, than sweeper. Only occasionaly he played as a midfielder. Because of his quality he always had a free role and end up in the midfield during the match because he could play over the whole field. But he was not a midfielder
One thing to keep in mind, Gravenberch has Mac Allister next to him in a psuedo double pivot. Mac Allister makes EVERYONE around him better, look at Caicedo at Bournemouth with him, or Enzo with Argentina and now look at them at Chelsea. Night and day difference.
Even Endo looked amazing with Mac next to him last season. Not trying to take anything away from Gravenberch, just pointing out. In 3-4 years Gravenberch will be a Top 5 DM.
Okay so you clearly know nothing about football 😂 first you just said Mac Allister is making Gravenberch look good? Even though Gravenberch has been the one making him look good, he’s been liverpools best player this season and won 3 man of the match awards in the last 4 games.
2. You just said in 3-4 years he’ll be a top 5 CDM, he’s already the best CDM in the league and possibly the world currently based on form (since rodri is injured) 😂 0 ball knowledge
@@samclynch6254 Ah, a reasonable person. My mistake I guess. He's already the best DM in the league and possibly the world after having played the position only 10 times.
@@samclynch6254 that's cap Mac Allister been crazy since last season Gravenberch is doing it now. They both complement each other well but Mac Allister is just classy
Really great vid well done 🎉
Nicely done job. Thumbs Up
Good content, really is!
One suggestion: May be do away with such spicy headings :)
And he just got another man of the match against Wolves. Solid Player
Slot awakened a monster😳
this season ryan impressed me, granted i dont follow the deutch league but i honestly didnt know how good he is
Another MOM performance v Wolves tonight. He was just unfussy, won possession and recycled swiftly without giving the ball away in a team, which was uncharacteristically quite sloppy tonight he just purred. 3 points. Job done.
Fabulous video.
Very fair assessment and analysis
Geat vid mate
I don't think every team needs a holding six, and Fabinho wasn't one either. His ability to distribute the ball and initiate attacks made him the best passing CDM in Klopp's football. Slots ball is different, he needs a 3. ball-playing defender, not a six who just clears the ball and pass it to Szobo or Macca (such a player is Zubimendi, for example). Gravenberch is the perfect CDM for Liverpool and I don't think that Liverpool need Zubimendi, even if he would like to come on now.
Exactly mate 😊all the best 😊YNWA ❤
Yeah when grav gets injured or macalister in fact szbozali would be benched and macalister in the 10 if we had a zubermendi type of player , slot wants a zubermendi type of player, you can't think gravenberch can play every single game stay injury free. We are not a team that wins multiple Premier leagues We are not at that level where we don't need a squad of quality players. We are one injury away from endo and Curtis Jones, 60 odd games in a season. Why are you acting like a zubermendi type of player can't play alongside gravenberch? People going ahead of themselves and going over the top like it's not a squad game. You do realise slot wanted zubermendi so that means zubermendis skillset is he something he wants in his midfield as opposed to what endo does.do you know more than the manager ? I don't think so another midfielder is coming in either January or the summer endo will be sold
@@nglforbes Ye i think Zubimendi isnt a good player for liverpool, if slot thinks differently that's how it is. Liverpool has Gravenberch as a cdm when hes tired or injured liverpool have curtis, endo and bajcetic next Season. If Zubimendi comes in january endo or bajcetic will leave the club although they are perfect backups for graveberch. Im not the manager, were all not but the comment section under his video is for the football fans not for the manager.
@@Suiii456 of course we can all pretend to know what the football club needs as fans in the comments section it doesn't really matter.all I can say is thank god slots the manager not the fans.
@@nglforbes ofc lad
Gravenberch is looking like LFC went out and signed a top class midfield player LFC fans need to shout his name out loud
slots game style has not only improved gravenberch but our defence looks solid as ever, mind you our attack isn’t as potent but i almost prefer our stability at the back at this moment.
Caicedo was going to be £110m.
We paid £35m for Mac Allister, £34m for Gravenberch and £60m for Szoboszlai. That's £129m for our ENTIRE starting midfield.
Or £19m more than what JUST Caicedo would've cost.
Nobody buys players like Liverpool.
i like his Viera-like drives
Good video, thanks
Ryan is himself. He is no Gullit neither Rijkaard, those are proven world class legends.
@@louischua3651 you clearly didn’t watch the video
@@pedtalkssports oh i clearly did see lots of Gullit and Rijkaard videos repeatedly the past 30+ years
Ryan was cooking for klopp in the first half of the season under klopp and was really good off and on the bench, but after the injuries he never cam back to form
Players who have their football education from the Dutch academies learn to play football under a possession based system. So, it should be no surprise that when a Dutch possession based manager replaces a counterattacking manager, the Dutch players like Gravenberch and Gakpo start playing extremely well.
Fun fact.. Gravenbergh, rijkaard, gullit and seedorf all have Suriname blood
Good video 👍
I don't agree with Klopp not looking out for Ryan. He never saw him as a 6. He saw him as an 8. Ryan came into Liverpool without game time and was rusty as he hardly played for Bayern. Injuries didn't help him at all. When he got the flow he immediately got the injured.
Also let's not forget working under Klopp system without pre-season doesn't help at all. This year Ryan got perfect time with Arne. Heitega coming in as the assistant has really helped Ryan too as they both have worked during Ajax time. It was very obvious his defensive side lacked and it still does. But the way Slot is using Mac & Ryan they both are improving.
So yeah it was Tuchel & Julian failed not Klopp. He knew it will take him time to get used to.
How does his defensive side still lack
I don't think he defensively lacks at all at the moment
Just to reinforce your last point. Klopp is known to ease in players.
2 different styles. He suits this style, so he is flourishing. Wasn't going to get ahead of szobo, curtis, endo and maca under klopp.
@@ikennanwGravenberch was already better than all of those players you mentioned under klopp, it’s just he hadn’t had any game time under klopp so he was rusty whenever he played and the system was garbage
Been saying this at work for a while now.
Very similer style ❤
Not for salah, this lad would be PL player of the year!!
Just last week I was thinking that there must at least be one non-Dutch English speaking person in the world who could successfully avoid the pronunciation trap for English speakers that is "ch" at the end of the name and pronounce the poor man's name correctly. And here I've already found you. Have an honorary stroopwafel.
@@bramharms72 thank you brother, I try my best
How this statement aged... 5:28
Exactly what I was thinking when he said that. It's that exact system that has enabled him to flourish.
Honestly anyone that has a Solid Football Brain would have known since last Season that Mac Allister n Gravenberch were the best Midfielders in the Team by Far
Anyone that has solid football brain remembers that sobo was not only the best midfielder but the best player on that team from August to December last year. He hasn’t shown it since, but to say that gravenberch was better than him last year is preposterous.
@@SKa-tt9nmGravenberch was always better than him, it’s just gravenberch was barely used by klopp so we weren’t allowed to see him play lol. As you see currently, szboszlai has been very average so far whilst Gravenberch has been Liverpools best player even ahead of salah and trent
pls dun over hype him. no matter how good u think he is , he still has a long way to go.
We still need Zubamendi
Agree
No we don’t ! Maybe selling Bobby clark wasn’t the best idea but Now we don’t need Zubimendi
@@shazil.6201depth 🤦🏽♂️
so relieved he's back on bis original form.. but shame bayern spoiled him.
Sorry Gravenberch i mad at you during Klopp era. Now you are our best player under Slot
Hard to believe Ten Hag helped develop him !
Na... He didn't it was the academy coaches.
not suitable for double pivot eh, whats Liverpool playing now?
In Rayn I just see the future Gerrard
We thought on the last year of Kloop, he gonna go away like that. My oh my, he left us with wonderful signing of gravenberch, szoboslai & mac. Thanks again kloop. You need to remember that you are the one that revive LIVERPOOL from ashes. Back in 2010, i always got mock by my friend who is ManU supporter. But during that time, ManU was still fierce under Ferguson. Fastfoward, the table have turn. Now my friend is on anti-deprassant
Gullit? He is like Rijkaard. He was called the new Rijkaard in the Ajax youth.
He wasn't. He drew comparisons for being tall and athletic, he was never regarded as the "new Rijkaard"
@@Samson-h6l you clearly never visited the toekomst. Because most of us who were watching him every week saw the new Rijkaard in him.
@@leobeenplakker6505 Had most of you seen the actual Rijkaard?
@@Samson-h6l I haven’t. But I’ve seen Gravenberch making his debut back in 2018 for young Ajax, and regular older visitors were all amazed by how he played like Rijkaard. They called him the modern day Rijkaard.
@@leobeenplakker6505 Rijkaard was as much a defender as midfielder, particularly for Ajax and the Dutch national team. A complete hybrid. The only youngster I recall being directly compared to him was a very young (approx 14 y/o) Leroy Fer, who obviously never came close. Its too much praise for any Dutch kid to live up to, like Bergkamp (my childhood idol) being called, by some, not all, the next van Basten.
Bro single handedly dismantle Man Utd midfield 💀
They got one gravy is unbelievable best MD in premier league this season MSM is so unbelievably stuip
Ryan Gravenberch, I only wanna play. Give him the ball, and he holds it (holds it), dribbles it forward, and we score it (score it). And Let the kop enjoy it.

I've seen plenty of people compare Gravenberch to Gullit.
Tchouaméni was NEVER coming, Real Madrid worked on that deal for over a year and Klopp and Liverpool tried to steal it in the days before it was announced because Klopp realized he needed a midfielder, believe Liverpool did not have contract with the player or agent before it. The player that Liverpool did miss out on was Bruno Guimarães, they thought they could come back for him in the summer and Newcastle swooped in January and stole him. Another midfielder that Klopp should had gone after is Camavinga of Real Madrid, he outplayed whole PSG midfield when he played against them, but only Real Madrid made an effort to sign him and got him real cheap for today’s prices of top end talent.
I really hope he will be like sedorf or like gullit but for now is not close
ynwa
Yes he should no bother he is the best passer of the ball in world football for me look we will never replace him end of real Madrid will win everything if they get him liverpool get the pen too papper
Good.
Don't forget Brazil and Spanish midfielders too.
🤣🤣🤣 "Brazil"?😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 "Brazil"?😂😂
Thanks for not saying Gravenbertsj
Ryan Gravenberch is more like Frank Rijkaard!
He's not though. Not at all, completely different in almost every way.
grevenberch is clarence seedorf
Hope pundits will now shut up. Graven has been the best no 6 in the world this season… better than Rice, Rodri, Touchemeni, etc… only conceded 2 goals, one worldie and one own error. Good comparison with Gullit and Seedorf. Was and is a Dutch generational talent since 16. Just needed last season to adjust to epl.
Gravenberch needs to improve his defensive skills and work. He is such a big guy. He needs to use it. This was Why He wasnt playing.
Look at his stats this season. You're just gargling some nonsense. Do better pls.
Suriname**
Pow pow pow 🇸🇷
Grav is not playing as a DM. He's playing as a DLP.
Actually a segundo volante
from bayern munich shop, best deal!!
Compare him to Souness ,McMahon & Gerrard….. that’s the levels we want
Those players have one thing in common. Passion. You can only be born with it.
I would say sonce wijnaldumn we still had problems during fabinhos last years
This year GRAV next year we waiting newgen such as tyone or beycetic (sorry if name not correct)
Johan neeskens aswell
Please 🙏 get trent done
Sometimes somethings just work out...YNWA
We dont want Zubimendi. Dont ever talk with his people. The fans felt insulted by him. No way.
Still need another midfielder tho to rotate
Endo. Good enough to fill in
@@ghettablkgffb no he isn’t
@Katsande223 yea he is . If I'm not mistaken we finished 3rd with endo . We're not talking about starting week out just to fill in for a few games endo is fine .stop being a whiney biatch
@@Katsande223he was good against West Ham
We shouldn't have loaned out Bacetic
I think its only astounding that so many experts couldn't see Gravs obvious ability and strengths. It seems almost blasphemous to say this, but Klopp being so rigid is how we play at full tilt actually stopped players like Grav, Jones, and MacAllister from becoming the players they could be. I know it isn't real but in footie manager last year i had paired grav and mac as the mid pair and had eith Szoboszlai or Elliott as my 10 and it worked like a dream, so happy to see Slot do it in reality
@@donuts7627 yep, that’s the overlooked part. People acting like gravnberch came out of nowhere when this guy been one of the best most sought after young midfielders
What are you taking about? The only thing that’s stopping jones are his injuries. Mac alister was the best Liverpool player from January to May this year, under klopp’s system. And Klopp is the guy who brought both Mac alister and gravenberch in, because he believed in them.
Notice how Klopp wasn’t so rigid when he transformed TAA into a RB and started him at 20, when he started future star Connor Bradley at 20, turned firmino from a midfielder to a no. 9, turned winaldjum from a no 9 to a box to box midfielder, moved sadio from RW to LW, making space for Salah, etc.
And this “most sought after” young talents needs to stop. Gravenberch’s reputation when he signed with lfc was anything but sparkling. He was viewed as a young player with lots of potential and very little to show for it. That’s why he was 1) available and 2) relatively cheap.
It took gravenberch a year to settle in at lfc. Mystery solved, gentlemen.
@SKa-tt9nm Klopp's heavy metal football is the reason for both our success and failure, he ran players into the ground with that high octane football, it was go go go 3 times a week so players got injuries. My point is that playing that brand of football increases the likelihood of getting injured, and we rarely just controlled games. Also I think Klopp did want to convert Grav into a 6 and I think if he had turned him into the next Fabinho then that would have robbed him of his potential. I think Slot's more measured approach will allow these players to shine because he is moulding both them and the system to match their strengths. Don't think that I'm having a go at Klopp,I love the man and everything he did but I think he had some blind spots tactically and his desire to play every game like it was your last was passionate and great to watch , there were times were I just wanted the lads to put their foot on the ball and think about the next pass instead of constantly pushing for the next moment.
Cool
With all the respect but Gullit was 100x better 😂
@@Redranger877 all good, at no point in the video was it said that gravenberch is better
I'm happy that Ryan is coming good for us, but we have a real problem at LFC. In addition to our present contract issues with TAA, VVD and Mo Salah, we need to be talking to a first team left back now! Mark my words, if Andy goes down for any length of time, we will be exposed by many of the talented right wingers we'll be facing this season. Tsimikas, Beck and Chambers are not the answer to this big potential problem. That's another overlooked truth.
the thumbnail = sticky finger
Zubi Zubi-doo
Where are you?
so the cam is an issue due szoboslai is not a great player, maybe gakpo but he is not mobile player. and 1 sub for cb, dm, st
He is nowhere near Gullit or Rijkaard but if he can be 50% of Ronald De Boer he will be a fantastic player.
YNWA
It shows all the pundits have no idea 😂 you have your opinion but it doesn't mean you are right
bro knows ball
Why does the wavey lines make me dizzy
Guys guys guys when are you going to realise that Liverpool had Arne slot signed well over 18months ago. Klopp was going to leave he then decides to stay. Liverpool sign mccallister gakpo gravenberch these players do not play in klopps teams they all play in slots. Do you really think that the Liverpool owners would simply wait for the day klopp walked out of the door ??? No there was an overlap klopp and slot working behind the scenes together.
LETS NOT GET TOO CARIED AWAY HERE....... HE'S PLAYING REALLY WELL BUT WILL HAVE FUTURE UP AND DOWNS - THE KID HAS TALENT - STOP THE RUBBISH.
