SZOBOSZLAI & GRAVENBERCH DON'T FIT? David Lynch Questions Liverpool FC Duo

Media Matters with Dave Davis and David Lynch | Szoboszlai, Gravenberch, Refereeing Concerns and Liverpool's Midfield Future

Part 2

Dave Davis is joined by respected Liverpool journalist David Lynch for another edition of Media Matters on Anfield Index, examining Liverpool's midfield problems, controversial refereeing statistics and the major decisions facing Andoni Iraola.

Dominik Szoboszlai's disappointing performance against Fenerbahçe comes under scrutiny, with Lynch questioning whether the Hungarian midfielder has a natural role in Iraola's preferred system.

Ryan Gravenberch faces similar concerns, raising uncomfortable questions about Liverpool's squad planning after both players recently signed lucrative new contracts.

Could Liverpool eventually be forced to consider selling one or both midfielders?

Attention then turns to the remarkable refereeing statistics at Anfield, where 58% of fouls awarded in Premier League matches this season have gone against Liverpool.

Lynch discusses whether referees are overcompensating for the influence of the Anfield crowd, while stressing that he is not suggesting a conspiracy against the club.

There's also positive news surrounding Trey Nyoni, with Liverpool reportedly in advanced talks over a new contract for the outstanding young midfielder.

David Lynch praises Liverpool's approach to rewarding young talent and discusses why Will Wright could benefit from a January loan after his impressive goalscoring performances at academy level.

Finally, the pair examine Liverpool's January transfer plans, including reported interest in Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde and Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara.

Will Liverpool strengthen their midfield this winter, or will Julian Ward wait until the summer to make the next major changes?
