Yeah that is just how it is now.
I think he would really have benefitted from that anchoring midfield player to cover and shield him somewhat.
Iraola has to find a way to cover Frimpong´s weaknesses and ideally get the most from his pace going forward with the players we have.
We need to stop hounding our players, esp on SM.
Yes, criticize, but stop hounding our players.
Frimpong was signed based on substantive scouting reports, not his nationality. Neither does he deserve the ridiculous picture being posted on twitter…
After two games, the right side of Liverpool is stronger DEFENSIVELY than it was under Trent. He has speed and athleticism and great recovery, and thus not vulnerable on 1v1 defending as TAA was.
What is lacking atm is on the offensive side, but for anyone paying attention, there are clear signs that this will come..
Last season was a lost year for EVERYONE.
This season, our right side is not settled yet. He’s played with Rio, Gakpo and Munoz.
His best delivery at Leverkusen was the low cross or the cut back.
And his greatest weapon was the blind side run to complement a wall pass.
In the past two games, the movement was not always there from the MF or attack to support this, although he did provide two such crosses vs Forest, one- a cut back, which was fluffed by Macca.
I recall that for over a decade, Dani Alvez was ridiculed by English pundits as not being a defender. Over the same period, he won title after title, providing a devstating platform for one Lionel Messi…
Its the aerial cross that he failed at repeatedly. But that is not something that cannot be improved on…And certainly not deserving of being summarily written off after two games.
The beauty of social media… 
Or, Frimpong was signed to sweeten the Wirtz transfer deal, and thus Wirtz’s real price is 151 million pounds 
So he was signed to get Wirtz to come, so why is he being selected, so Wirtz doesn’t leave, bollocks!
Munoz’s arrival could be bad for him long term, considering what type of dynamics we might want on that side.
Plus, the fact that we might still be looking at a new right winger in one of the next transfer windows.
I could see Frimpong being here mostly as a backup player and then possibly leave when he’s had enough and wishes to have regular starts again.
Nice goal and a couple of assists, but horrible positioning in that second half.
Defensively, he’s hopeless. I’m inclined to blame the club more than him because he looks like he cares and wants to be playing for Liverpool but he’s a natural wing back and shouldn’t have even been considered for playing a fullback in a 4-3-3.
I feel the move is ruining his career, which he certainly didn’t deserve, and I hope he will be able to find a new club as soon as possible (though I wouldn’t expect him to leave before the summer, taking into account the state of the squad).
Being a wing back isn’t an excuse. You see emergency options have greater awareness than he does.
His defending is unacceptably bad, worse than TAA’s.
I would expect our club analysts to notice that lack of defensive awareness, though. There’s rarely been a player I had been convinced would flop like I had been with Frimpong.
That’s not on the lad - his playing style doesn’t fit club’s playing style. He still has plenty of other qualities and seems like a nice human being, so I hope he can revert his poor form but I’m convinced it will have to be at another club, one that actually employs wing backs.
His attributes can work here when we have loads of possession. In games were we have to do a fair bit more defending, he shouldn’t be our RB. Like you say, It is not his fault. I then comes dwon to whether the manager wants consistency in his team selection or horses for courses.
Ultimately FB is a position most players have to learn after not making it in their preferred position. Loads have players have made that transition deep several years into their senior career, and each one who did it did it through a commitment to learning the defensive side of the job.
You can reasonably question if there has been the coaching commitment or stability to really drill him in what it takes (slot seemed to wash his hands with him after the brain fart against Palace early last season), the way we committed to with Robbo after buying a FB who didnt defend well, but ultimately it falls on the player to be responsible for their own shit.
