Those who have watched Trey Nyoni since his arrival at Liverpool in 2023 will not have been surprised by the composure, calmness and passing ability he showed on his first start of the season against Tottenham.Supporters have been crying out for Andoni Iraola to give Nyoni a go after becoming concerned by the lack of control afforded when Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch start together.

Alexis Mac Allister’s performances have made him the only nailed on starter for now, and fans on Facebook believe Nyoni has shown he can get the best out of the Argentine.“Yes [he should start vs Bournemouth]. The only game I saw Macca become himself,” said one fan.“In midfield play Mac Allister, Nyoni and Szoboszlai behind the forward,” someone else said.Others compared the teenager to the current, undercooked version of Gravenberch, with some declaring that Nyoni is the closest thing Iraola has to an out-and-out defensive midfielder, which he will surely need against his old team, who are well-known as one of the most dynamic in the Premier League.READ MORE: Could Liverpool really sell Florian Wirtz to Bayern Munich after ‘secret meetings’ confirmation“At the moment Nyoni is a much better option than Gravenberch,” one fan said.
“I love those long balls and the control… Well done Trey!”“It’s a big yes for me, that boy played very well as defensive midfielder, let’s give him the first starting role, he is very good,” another fan said.“Right now, creativity from midfield is a luxury. No, it’s not the final solution, but the best one right now,” was someone else’s view.“Yes [he should start] because we can’t trust play him in nice games at Anfield, let’s see what he is like away from home against a team that will put real pressure on Liverpool,” one more fan argued.
