Analysing his pizza chart in the #PL, we can see that he is among the very best players in: carry, possession involvement, attacking aerial duels, interceptions & recoveries. He really is a versatile box-to-box type of midfielder! 🔥

Compared to other midfielders in the Premier League this season (with over 30% game time), he is one of the most active players in terms of interceptions & recoveries. Ha has the energy, the stamina & the game-reading ability to regain possession & to stop opponent's attacks. 🔍

Calculated per 1000 opponent touches, his defensive numbers are solid this season in the league! Defensive workrate, interceptions, tackles efficiency & recoveries - he can be so valuable without the ball in many different ways! 🛡️

This is a good example vs MU to show his perfect OOP workrate. Gravenberch read very well Casemiro's pass and intercepted the ball so quickly at the half-way line. He then just carried the ball forward and layed it down to Salah who assisted Díaz at the far post (1st goal). 👌

Arne Slot usually likes to operate with a 4-2-3-1 mid-block shape OOP and he uses Gravenberch next to Macca in a double pivot. He has the required physicality & athleticism to perform very well in this system and the stats absolutely confirm this! 🔥

In Liverpool's squad, only Konaté, VVD & Macca has more defensive actions so far in the league than him, which shows how brilliant Gravenberch is out-of-possession. Especially the volume of interceptions and tackles makes him so important and unmissable! 💪
