Gravenberch Expects Tough Game at St James Park…
Ryan Gravenberch is back and feeling fresher than a lettuce in an icebox! He’s all set to return to the Liverpool team and is hoping for a well-balanced midfield showing against Newcastle United. The Dutchman’s absence in the first match was like leaving your phone at home—people noticed! Missing out on the Community Shield was due to a new family member arriving, and let’s be honest, missing out on those sleep-deprived baby nights was a win-win! The 23-year-old is confident about his fitness, despite going three weeks without a game. Liverpool looks to be in better shape as they travel to the Magpies in search of more solid defensive performances.
Arne Slot cunningly hinted that Newcastle might feel like they’re playing against a team of kangaroos on pogo sticks come Monday! Gravenberch and the team have been working on tactics, analyzing previous performances to ensure they don’t repeat past mistakes. The potential Mac Allister-Gravenberch duo could be the midfield partnership worthy of a buddy-cop TV series, and with Florian Wirtz likely starting as a no.10, the lineup at St James Park will be as thrilling as a rollercoaster with no seatbelts. As for Dominik Szoboszlai, well, he might just find himself taking notes from the sidelines! The team is adapting well to the new season, ready for a physical battle in the Premier League showdown.
