He was driving forward, breaking up play, and even forcing Gianluigi Donnarumma into a acrobatic save moments before his red card.Speaking after the final whistle, Jamie Carragher highlighted Gravenberch's resurgence as the lone positive on an otherwise miserable afternoon:"The big bright spot for me today was seeing Gravenberch back to the player I know he is and the player he's been for Liverpool for the last two years who was outstanding when he won a title," Carragher insisted. And there's got to be a rejig of that midfield because what Wirtz has given Liverpool right now is nowhere near enough."Carragher’s point out what many of us have been whispering since August.

Instead, young academy talents Lewis Koumas and Victor Muñoz outshone players brought in for massive transfer fees.Carragher didn't hold back on the contrast between Wirtz and new arrival Bradley Barcola:"Liverpool have paid top dollar and they're getting nowhere near what they should be getting,"Carragher argued."I'm going to go back to Florian Wirtz because I was critical of them after the last game Liverpool played away at Bournemouth. Now he played really well in the game under Klopp.

But he's come here today and I'm looking at the game as a Liverpool fan. It's just not right."What It means for Ryan Gravenberch going forwardThe tragedy of Sunday's refereeing performance is that Gravenberch's soft red card which even Andoni Iraola slammed in his press conference "The first foul of Ryan is never a yellow card, never" means the midfielder will miss next weekend's trip to Brentford through suspension.However, the bigger picture remains clear for Kopites.Gravenberch proved that when he plays with freedom and physicality, he gives this Liverpool side an athletic dynamic that no other midfielder can match.While he serves his domestic ban at Brentford, expect Iraola to unleash Gravenberch in midweek when Liverpool take on LASK in the Champions League.
