LFCTV pundit Neil Mellor highlighted Ryan Gravenberch's impressive display in his new midfield role as part of Liverpool's 2-0 win over Ipswich Town.
During his usual presence after the match View reviewand is now available for Watch on LFCTV GOMellor analysed the impressive second-half display from the Reds, particularly Gravenberch, in their Premier League opener on Saturday.
“In the end it was about getting the three points, which we did, and keeping a clean sheet, and that quality eventually came through for Liverpool in the second half,” Mellor said.
“Grävenperch was fantastic, he earned the right to start and he did well.
“He touched 71 balls in the game and made 59 passes. We know he can dribble with the ball, but he was always an option for his teammates, and I thought he was fantastic.”
Mellor also highlighted the performance of Mohamed Salah, who scored on the opening day of the season again to set a new Premier League record.
The Egyptian scored his ninth goal in the first game of the season to surpass Alan Shearer, Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard.
“It's unbelievable, season after season he's been doing so well,” Mellor said.
“It's not just about scoring goals, it's about assists as well, he's a joy to watch, totally fit, in that, fantastic.”
