The pursuit of Zubimendi over the summer time made it clear that Liverpool have been keen so as to add a top-class defensive midfielder to their squad, with Slot evidently not fancying Wataru Endo to be the Reds’ lynchpin within the quantity 6 function.
Ryan Gravenberch has excelled in that place within the early weeks of the season, however there’ll absolutely be sterner assessments to come back for the younger Dutchman. Ought to he go these with flying colors, although, perhaps then the clamour for a brand new CDM will dissipdate.
There are not any obvious weaknesses inside our strongest beginning XI for now, though squad depth will inevitably be examined as soon as the fixtures pile up through the autumn and afterward within the marketing campaign.
A participant of Rodri’s stage may definitely make Liverpool much more fearsome than they already are, however to offer the Manchester Metropolis star his due credit score, there aren’t too many footballers of his means going round in the intervening time.
The Reds proceed to admire Zubimendi (Fabrizio Romano) and will attempt once more to signal him in January, but when he’s nonetheless not for turning, maybe Richard Hughes may have recognized another goal of equal or superior high quality by then…until, in fact, Gravenberch has confirmed to be a constantly high-class operator within the meantime.
