Liverpool boast some of the most talented midfielders in world football, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t be outplayed.

Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch have been key players in the Liverpool squad since joining the club, but they struggled to make an impact last weekend.

The Reds had their undefeated start to the season ended last weekend against Crystal Palace, when the Eagles scored a late goal to win the game 2-1.

It was an impressive performance from the Eagles, but one man in particular ended up standing out due to his efforts in the middle of the park.

Alan Shearer believes Adam Wharton outshone Liverpool’s midfield

Liverpool have ridden their luck at times this season with a lot of last-minute goals being scored to secure positive results.

However, that ran out at Selhurst Park as Crystal Palace continued their unbeaten run, which led to Rio Ferdinand picking them as the team he wants to win the Premier League this season.

When naming his Premier League team of the week, Alan Shearer had heavy praise for Adam Wharton and his performance against the defending champions.

“Competing against Liverpool’s formidable trio of Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, and Dominik Szoboszlai, Wharton was the best midfielder by a mile.”

Wharton completed more dribbles than anyone. Meanwhile, he also thrived defensively, winning 80 percent of his ground duels.

Liverpool had an opportunity to sign Adam Wharton

Wharton has quickly become one of the most impressive midfielders in the Premier League, which has led to much speculation about his future.

The Crystal Palace midfielder has thrived for the Eagles and earned a place in the England team, continuing his development as a footballer.

TBR Football revealed that Wharton had the chance to sign for Tottenham Hotspur this summer, but that didn’t happen.

Wharton hopes to sign for Liverpool and join Arne Slot’s team. While the 20-time champions haven’t signed him, the club could push to do so next summer.
