Ryan Gravenberch just made a massive statement in Liverpool’s 2-1 win at Wolves. The midfielder is proving to be something else.

Ryan Gravenberch was named Man of the Match for Liverpool against Wolves. It was fully deserved - the Dutchman made a statement here.

You don't have to go back very long to find a time when Gravenberch would follow up any decent performance with about two months of mediocrity. Suddenly, he's one of the most reliable players in the Liverpool squad.

He had to be, too. Neither Alexis Mac Allister nor Dominik Szoboszlai were at the races today. Liverpool lacked midfield control, with Wolves consistently attacking them in the first half.

Gravenberch helped them wrestle that control back. 92% passing accuracy, eight duels won from eight, and allowed Liverpool off the hook, essentially.

It was a statement performance.

Ryan Gravenberch - the best right now?

Gravenberch is doing this every week. The consistency is now off the charts and on the back of this, we'd have him down as the best holding midfielder in the country right now.

Yes, there are more accomplished players there but with Rodri's injury, someone can step up for that title. Gravenberch is proving to have the head for it.

Even something as subtle as this being the first game this season that Gravenberch didn't dribble someone. It wasn't the game for it - Liverpool needed him to be solid and safe. He was exactly that.

We're still not even 10 games into the Gravenberch as a six experiment. By the end of the season, he could be something truly remarkable and we'd back him to make that happen on his current form.

The biggest blessing all season could prove to be Liverpool not signing Martin Zubimendi because in Gravenberch, they've got someone who suits them to an absolute tee.
