Early Days, Promising Signs

Though it’s still early in the season, Liverpool’s form has been impressive, with Gravenberch noting the importance of maintaining their momentum: “It’s really early, we have a lot of games. But we are in a good position and we have to keep going.” His comments underscore a cautious optimism that pervades the squad, mindful of the long Premier League journey ahead but confident in their current standing.

Curtis Jones: A Rising Star

Jones’ standout performance was particularly significant, coming in just his second league start of the 2024-25 season. His ability to decisively impact the game did not go unnoticed by his teammates. Gravenberch praised his colleague, stating, “He’s a really good player. I see he has the same qualities what I have – he’s really good on the ball, he’s really good in driving with the ball, you see the depth in his game. He was unbelievable.”

The synergy between Jones and Gravenberch is apparent, with both players recognizing and anticipating each other’s movements on the pitch, enhancing their effectiveness. “I know when he has the ball where I have to be and vice versa,” Gravenberch added, highlighting their mutual understanding and on-field connection.

Steady and Consistent: Gravenberch’s Midfield Mastery

Amid the praises for his teammate, Gravenberch’s own performance should not be overlooked. Playing as a number six, he has found his rhythm, contributing both defensively and offensively. “I said it before, I’m just enjoying playing this season as a six. I’m just enjoying it and trying to be as consistent as I can. It’s going good but we have to keep going,” he reflected. His role in the heart of Liverpool’s midfield is crucial, providing stability and creativity.
