ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAYMurphy keen to watch three Liverpool players in particularIn an exclusive interview with Empire of the Kop (in association with NetBet Sport), Murphy was asked which Liverpool players he’s most looking forward to watching at the World Cup, and he picked out three in particular.The former Reds midfielder said: “As I think a lot of Liverpool fans are, I’m really looking forward to seeing how Alexander Isak is. Hopefully he’ll be fit and flying and raring to go, because it’d be great for Liverpool if he could have a good World Cup and be back to what we know he can be, so that’s a fascinating one.“There’s Florian Wirtz, who had moments in the season where you know he’s getting there and then he dipped again.
Can he be the one to make things happen and take responsibility, and gain some confidence and belief before he gets back to Liverpool?(Photo by Alexander Hassenstein/Getty Images)“I’m really fascinated to see if Ryan Gravenberch can cement a place in the Dutch side and what role he plays. We know he’s played under [Arne] Slot in a deeper role, but we know he’s capable of playing a more forward role as well, which could be something that Iraola looks at.“I’m interested to see him because I really enjoy watching him.
I know he didn’t quite have the same season that he did the previous season, but he could still be a big player for Liverpool moving forward.”Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?
