130 Jeff Stelling has named Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai as two Liverpool players whom Jurgen Klopp may not be best pleased with now.
Liverpool were held to a goalless draw at Anfield against Manchester United yesterday, which saw Arsenal leapfrog them to the top of the table.
Jurgen Klopp’s side were left frustrated for large periods of the game as they dominated but failed to create any real clear-cut opportunities.
The German opted to start with three summer signings in the middle of the park, with Wataru Endo, Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai all getting the nod.
Szoboszlai was replaced just after the hour mark, with Jamie Carragher labelling his performance ‘poor’. Gravenberch was also taken off at the same time and Klopp has since confirmed the Dutchman has picked up a hamstring injury.
There were underwhelming displays across the pitch for the Reds on Sunday, particularly in midfield and attack.
But Jeff Stelling believes Klopp would have been hoping for Gravenberch and Szoboszlai to make a bigger impact after signing for the club over the summer.
Stelling thinks Klopp will want more from Szoboszlai and Gravenberch
Speaking on talkSPORT (18/12 7:12 am), Stelling raised concerns about both Gravenberch and Szoboszlai.
He said: “The last two or three games, they’ve not been playing brilliantly have they?
“Szoboszlai and Gravenberch, I’m not sure they’re making the impact that he would have hoped when he brought them in?”
Szoboszlai has excelled this term after making the switch from RB Leipzig over the summer. So Stelling’s comments do seem a bit harsh considering yesterday’s display was arguably his worst in a Liverpool shirt.
As for Gravenberch, he’s put in some promising displays in midfield but is yet to nail down a place in Klopp’s side.
Picking up an injury will be a huge blow for the 21-year-old after earning a start in a huge game on Sunday.
It remains unclear just how serious the injury is but the midfielder is set to undergo a scan this week.
