Who has been Liverpool's unexpectedly excellent player this season?

If there is one player who deserves perhaps more credit than he gets, it is probably Ryan Gravenberch.

The Dutchman has been outstanding all season.

It has been a huge bonus for Liverpool, because in the summer this was the position that everyone thought would have to be filled by a new signing - most notably Martin Zubimendi - but Gravenberch was there all along.

From that first game away at Ipswich, he has been the solution, and you cannot imagine anyone else playing there now. There is a calmness about his play, which sometimes goes unnoticed, but his impact has been immense.

Someone else who has been improving as the season has gone on is Dominik Szoboszlai. He struggled at times last season, but has been putting in some good consistent performances of late.

He too is a key part of that Reds' engine room.
