Yeah a 21 year old getting a hamstring injury at a right back position that tends to play as a wing back at times after a tough passage of games isn’t entirely odd.
I just learnt he is 5ft 11, surely not? Our team must be midgets

Also he looked absolutely shattered at 80mins. I thought Slot would have taken him off for Trent or Joe

I’d be curious about his distance run, as well as number and distance of sprints. But of 18 successful tackles, 4 of them were him. That was quite an effort.

Maybe I wasn’t clear enough. What I meant was that Bradley has steadily been picking up injuries ever since he returned to Liverpool from his loan. I think one of them required a surgery but I can’t quite remember.
I hope it won’t be a recurring theme with him because I rate him highly and he can easily become the first choice right back next season if his fitness allows him to continue his growth as a player.

I believe you’re thinking of Calvin Ramsay.

I don’t think so? He had an ankle injury this past Spring, and was out with a back injury for quite a while, until about this time last year. That back injury not at all unusual for a younger athlete (stress fracture?),
Haha @Nikola
Yeah, as @Prolix said, I got him mixed up with Ramsay (could have sworn Ramsay had a back injury). We mentioned a few weeks back that a lot of our young players were suffering from back injuries and there could be an underlying issue there, hopefully one that will be resolved.
Still, this is his third injury in two years, and I’m a really positive and optimistic person who definitely hasn’t seen wonderfully talented people made of glass like Sturridge, Lallana or Kewell at Liverpool, so I’m naturally relaxed about this…
What are you laughing at?!

I love this song. I have the Dubliners version of this age old Irish folk song.

What I love about this kid is his fearlessness. Just gets on the pitch and rips into anyone, or tries to skin whoever’s in front of him. No respect for reputations or sense that he has to be cautious.
Should be starting games until this shit with Trent gets resolved.

Or at the very least finishing them. If Bradley had come on at '75 I think we take all 3 points today

Assume the staff had decided pre-game he was only able to give 10mins

More reliable and committed than Trent.

Problem is and I’m one of his biggest fans, he makes one mistake and people will get on his back.

That’s the nature of football “fans” these days, sadly.

I honestly don’t know why Slot didn’t do it. Everyone could see that Trent wasn’t up to it.
My only concern with Bradley is that I believe he’ll be very susceptible to injuries, a bit like Konate. Quality when he plays (at least for majority of the time), playing regularly for his country, leading to more injuries.
I don’t necessarily agree, yes we mention the mistake, but it doesn’t linger unless he doesn’t learn from that mistake or keeps making the same mistake.
I accept one mistake as it happens and one thing from Conor you know he will give his all!
Look at Nunez, 1st season he was given a lot of leeway with his misses from us but it didn’t change and we are now over him and even worse he isn’t getting the chances to miss.
But secretly we all still have hope that a leopard can change it’s spots.
