Ian Wright has admitted he was mistaken in his criticism of a key Liverpool player. The former Arsenal striker had initially questioned the player’s impact but now believes he has been proven wrong. Wright praised his performances, calling him “brilliant” in Liverpool’s midfield.
The turnaround comes after a string of impressive displays that have solidified the player’s role. Wright acknowledged that his early doubts were unfounded and that the midfielder has shown exceptional quality. His ability to control games and dictate play has been crucial for Liverpool.
This shift in opinion highlights the player’s growing influence in Jurgen Klopp’s side. Wright’s praise reflects the impact he has made throughout the season.
Gravenberch’s Dominance in Midfield
One of Liverpool’s biggest revelations this season has been Ryan Gravenberch. The Dutch midfielder has cemented his place as a key figure in Klopp’s system. His arrival came after Liverpool missed out on Martin Zubimendi, but he has exceeded expectations.

Gravenberch’s control in midfield has made him an indispensable asset for Liverpool. His presence has provided balance, ensuring stability in both attack and defense. Many now view him as the perfect solution to Liverpool’s midfield restructuring.
With his skill set and composure on the ball, he has shut down any doubts about his ability. His performances have earned recognition from fans, pundits, and now even Wright.
Szoboszlai Thrives Under Arne Slot
Dominik Szoboszlai has also enjoyed a standout season under new management. The Hungarian midfielder has credited Arne Slot for refining his game and pushing him into a more attacking role.

Previously deployed in a deeper position, Szoboszlai now has more freedom in the final third. This tactical adjustment has allowed him to showcase his creativity while still contributing defensively. His energy and versatility have made him one of Liverpool’s most reliable players.
Slot himself has praised Szoboszlai’s relentless work ethic. He believes the midfielder is often underrated despite his crucial role in the team’s success. As Liverpool push forward, both Gravenberch and Szoboszlai continue to shine.
