Trey Nyoni made a promising first start for Liverpool in the Premier League against Arsenal, showing maturity and contributing to build-up plays despite some initial over-eagerness. He made 14 line-breaking passes and was replaced by Dominik Szoboszlai around the hour mark. FotMob rated Nyoni 6.5/10, but the source thinks this underestimates his performance.
Liverpool's performance was affected by Nyoni's substitution, with the team appearing less in control and threatening after his replacement. The source suggests this highlights a potential issue with Szoboszlai playing alongside Florian Wirtz in midfield.
Andoni Iraola needs to find a solution to manage Trey Nyoni's playing time to avoid burning him out, potentially by adjusting the midfield lineup, as the January transfer window approaches.

Source context
Trey Nyoni hardly put a foot wrong in a promising first start for Liverpool in the Premier League. The Merseysiders fell victim to some world-class defending from incumbent champions Arsenal at Anfield in a first defeat at L4 to the Gunners in 14 years. But the Englishman carried himself superbly against Mikel Arteta’s men after initially showcasing some over-eagerness in his challenges in the opening stages of the first half. Kai Havertz’s opening goal, following on from a disastrous pass from Alisson Becker, was enough to see Arsenal take all the points at full time.
