After seeing his performances last season and against Sunderland recently, It’s clear that he was brought in just because of Slot (nationality). There is no way our scouts identified him as a future prospect. Let’s see how he does under Ariola but it’s not looking good atm.

Sorry Jeremy, but right now the minimum baseline for the RB position at a title-winning team is a healthy Tino Livramento (better RBs than Livra like Timber, TAA, O’Reilly, Hakimi, Reece James are already playing at other title contenders).
In other words, you are not good enough to play at Liverpool.
Worse, my first sentence IMO is also true when it comes to Conor Bradley.
The more I see this guy play… the more I think Hughes only bought him to entice his best mate Wirtz to come to Anfield.
He is bench level at best, which might be the best option for all concerned.
I was actually very surprised that we signed him. At the time of signing, I watched a few Bayer 04 matches and could not figure out where to play him in our squad. 
Oh, I did not think his crosses were that bad, but he proved me wrong in the recent matches.

He was poor today and his defensive challenges are so puny that attackers know he can be bullied. He fought well to set Wirtz up for his ‘goal’ but it’s not enough. I want to see fullbacks that can tackle and bully forwards and that aint Frimpong. Neither he or Kerkez can cross for toffee.

I find it really strange…Aren’t Wing backs supposed to be pretty good at crossing? I still remember his performance at the charity shield last season..he was putting crosses left right centre…Why did he stop all that?
Dunno. Maybe the same reason he’s stopped bombing up the wing when he’s got daylight in front of him. Frustrating how many times he started a run and then just checked his run and back-passed. Have a go son, take the defence on, you’ve got the speed and the least you’re likely to get out of it will be a throw in.
Our players need more aggression and bravery. Munoz showed it and so did Gakpo but nobody else.
It is very strange though…
That early chance when Wirtz put him in behind, the cross was diabolical with how well positioned Isak was.

I keep hoping that part of it is his lack of confidence, which frankly goes for the whole team, but at this point it feels like it is hope beyond hope, and that he is really that limited in one of the most important aspects of football.
Kicking the ball is such an 80s era skill. The game has moved on. You can’t get away with 442 big man little man anymore
Nothing about his demeanour suggests he is a serious person or footballer.
Would be amazed if he still here next season. The only upside to him is that he fills a homegrown slot. A lot of us on here were baffled at the idea of him replacing Trent as a right back in a back four, he’s at best a half decent wing back or a right midfielder in a back three/five formation.

Neco Williams, Djed Spence and Tino Livramento are better HG players than Frimpong.
He showed that he can play against Newcastle. Then at home against Forest reverted back to an enthusiastic child. The way he crosses the ball so lacks technique it’s not possible. Swings his whole body around. When you have seen Salah, with his deft outside foot chinks, Trent, with lovely posed pin point efforts and Hendo, with instinctive lobs, it’s very hard to fathom and an utter eyesore.

@ZinedineBiscan will remember my opening comment on Frimpong’s rumour thread and it seems this is only getting worse… I can’t see past his homegrown status and his low transfer fee (by today’s standards at least) as the main reasons behind his move to Liverpool.
He’s a wingback and nothing I’ve seen convinces me otherwise. I just wish his crossing was better, so his attacking strengths could outweight his flaws. Even when he finds himself in a promising position, he makes a hash of it. It’s a damn shame as he’s a very likeable but lad but he’s either injured or playing badly, that’s the bottom line of his Liverpool career.

He’s likely to be the starting right back for a while.
Good chance for him to get a run of games and prove himself.
I think he’s a bit suspect in the air and not necessarily a great thinker of a full back but he’s very quick and he gets round the side well. Hopefully he settles into the role

As with Isak, we’re simply in a position where we need them to succeed as we have little to no alternatives in the short to medium term.
For all our sakes I hope both get fully up to speed in the team, and soon.
