I’m quite liking the balance of the Endo-MacAllister-Gravenberch midfield. Not sure it’s the strongest midfield 3 we can possibly play if everyone is fit (I’d love to see them take on Trent-Szobo-Jones midfield in a friendly - any bets on who would win?), but it’s giving our attackers a solid platform to be creative and they shield the defence well. They actually somehow remind me of the “Brexit midfield” of old (Hendo in the #6, Wijnaldum and Milner), which wasn’t very popular with fans, but won us many big games. We cannot call this iteration of midfield workhorses with a bit of flair “Brexit” - it’s Japan, Argentina and Netherlands, after all, so how about “United Nations?” 🙂
Gravy still needs a bit of seasoning (pun not intended) to get to Wijnaldum’s level, but the raw attributes are there - hopefully his development into a more well-rounded and positionally aware midfielder will continue under whoever replaces Klopp next season.
