Ryan Gravenberch leaves Liverpool fans awestruckWhen Gravenberch isn’t in Liverpool’s starting XI, he is greatly missed. Earlier in the 2025-26 season, Van Dijk lauded the midfielder and said, “Not just this season, he’s [Gravenberch] been playing like that from the moment last season started,” in quotes relayed by Liverpool.com.“He’s unbelievable.

He’s very important to the way we play.”And now, Liverpool’s fans have proven this to be true with each one of them lauding Gravenberch’s performance. One fan wrote on X: “RYAN GRAVENBERCH WITH AN INCREDIBLE GOAL.”While a second said: “Gravenberch returns and Liverpool rediscovers their form.”A third added: “So what I learned today is that Ryan Gravenberch can never get injured again.”A fifth spoke about how much the Reds missed the midfielder: “We missed Gravenberch so much.

So so much.”A sixth fan shared their thoughts on the “crazy” difference the Dutchman made: “Crazy the difference in performance for Liverpool when Gravenberch is fit and firing, he’s been class so far.”Lastly, an eighth claimed that the midfielder reminded them of Georgino Wijnaldum by adding a picture of the former Liverpool ace to their post and writing: “Gravenberch reminded me of someone.”Arne Slot must wrap Ryan Gravenberch in cotton wool for the rest of the seasonIf there’s one thing that’s been made more than clear over the last 10 days or so, it’s that Gravenberch is essential to the way Liverpool play. Fortunately, Gravenberch’s recent injury wasn’t too bad, but if he somehow got sidelined for over a month, Liverpool would have been in massive trouble.
