Why This Midfield Trio Could Make or Break Liverpool

Why This Midfield Trio Could Make or Break Liverpool Liverpool's midfield was supposed to be the engine of Andoni Iraola's new system. But after a frustrating 0-0 draw with Fulham at Anfield, one question is becoming impossible to ignore: can this midfield actually make Liverpool successful? Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister bring pressing, technical quality, intensity and the ability to control different phases of the game. Florian Wirtz adds another creative dimension, while Trey Nyoni represents one of the most exciting young options coming through. But Liverpool also have a problem. They didn't sign a single new midfielder this summer, while Curtis Jones left for Inter. Against teams that sit deep and force Liverpool to dominate possession, the lack of physical protection and midfield depth could become a serious issue. In this video, we break down Iraola's midfield system, how Liverpool's new midfield trio fits into his pressing philosophy, what the early results are telling us, and why this group could ultimately make or break Liverpool's season. Is this midfield good enough to challenge for the biggest trophies?
