The 25-year-old centre-back was a surprise selection in the blocker role next to Elliot Anderson, but equipped himself admirably and was not limited to the dirty work, often being found in more advanced positions in open play and happy to have the ball at his feet. His long-term future is unlikely to be outside of defence but further proof of Guéhi's adaptability will be a positive for Maresca, as a long season awaits.
Guéhi's versatility will be crucial for Liverpool as they look to curb the attacking instincts of Ryan Gravenberch. The Liverpool midfield needs greater tactical discipline and willingness to do the dirty work, and Guéhi's adaptability will be a key factor in achieving this.
Liverpool's next game is against Nottingham Forest, where they will be looking to stop Morgan Gibbs-White from producing a repeat performance of his exploits last season.
