Jürgen Klopp has two more new signings to unleash as Liverpool’s $45m plan pays off
After the international break, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp can look forward to the best of one of his summer signings after a somewhat shaky start.
Liverpool’s new signing Ryan Gravenberch has decided to turn down a call-up to the Netherlands under-21 squad so he can focus on adjusting to life at Anfield.
Gravenberch was due to take part in the Under-21 European Championship qualifiers against Moldova and North Macedonia but informed his coach Michael Reiziger that he would not be making the trip.
His international side may not be particularly impressed, but the 21-year-old will hope to be fully prepared for a potential debut when he returns to the Premier League and Liverpool travel to Wolves on 16 September. and prospect contender Alexis Mac Allister, who played 87 minutes before being substituted. For Mac Allister, some of the early themes continued.
He led Liverpool’s league table with three tackles – and leads the club’s league table in combined tackles and interceptions – but was also a bit scruffy at times. Only Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson (both 12) have lost possession more often than the Argentinian (11), who currently has the lowest passing accuracy of Jürgen Klopp’s midfield group this season with 85 .6%. In particular the long fit of him (accuracy of 56.5%) needs improvement.
Mac Allister has also committed three team fouls against Villa, and has been penalized more times (seven) by the referee this season than all of his team mates in total. So there were a few moments of frustration with the $45million Brighton takeover.
All in all, we can expect Mac Allister to improve after the international break as he continues to acclimate. We haven’t seen the best of him yet, but it’s exciting in a way, because even after a strong start which saw the team pick up ten points out of a possible twelve, Klopp still has two new signings – also Gravenberch – fully unleashed. leave.
