Forgotten Liverpool star to be handed GOLDEN opportunity by Arne Slot

Trey Nyoni’s chance to announce himself

Liverpool’s Champions League victory over Inter Milan was the perfect example of just how thin the Reds’ midfield is in the new formation.

Ryan Gravenberch, Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister formed the diamond in Slot’s midfield for 90 minutes with Trey Nyoni the only midfielder on the bench.

Just four days later Brighton visited Anfield and once again the same midfield four started, this time with no midfielder at all on the bench.

Playing the only four fit senior midfielders for 90 minutes every game is massively unsustainable and so, sooner or later, something has to change.

When Nyoni is back in the team, it is time for him to play.

Liverpool’s midfield dilemma

With Wataru Endo injured and Florian Wirtz seemingly dedicated to playing a more advanced role, Nyoni is Slot’s only option if he wishes to keep the diamond and change out one of his midfield four.

The 18-year-old has played just 180 minutes for Liverpool this season, playing for the duration of both of the Reds’ Carabao Cup ties.

He is yet to come off the bench, but he will surely have to feature as a substitute soon if Slot wants to persist with his tactical changes.
