CM Marko Grujic

Grujic is still somewhat of a unicorn to Liverpool fans. Our strongest points of critiques came in friendlies where, while impressive he was, it’s not the best medium for forming opinions on players.

At any rate, his first impressions were positive ones but that could change with a few clunkers in real matches. He’s even admitted that we likely won’t see the best version of him until next season, too.

Grujic’s top moment of the year wasn’t scoring against Barcelona at Wembley, it was his reaction to Jordan Henderson’s goal against Chelsea. Absolutely brilliant, conspicuously in the background stealing the spotlight from Klopp– no small feat.
