Conor Bradley

[danperkins]

I'm not sure what to make of Bradley. Frimpong clearly isn't a right full and Bradley is a better 'defender' as such but the fact we had to play our best midfielder this season & our best presser at RB because Bradley had to be whipped because he couldn't handle Garnacho all game is not good.

[BobTheCharmer]

I think his game is being compromised. When he came into the team he was brave and squashbuckling. Now he reverts to safety first backwards passing and seems very narrow. This could also be aimed towards Kerkez too. I can only think it's a instructional thing and it's ****ing us up.

Let the lad have a run of games and let him maraude forwards and get shots at goal. To do this he needs to be allowed to cross the halfway line.

I don’t think he’s good enough to be first choice RB, he gets stupidly booked every game and isn’t good 1v1. His injury record is also a worry.

He’s good at driving forward but even that’s been way off when compared to the past

How can he do that with Salah in front of him?

He's a bit rash alright and him being injury prone is a worry. Both fullbacks have struggled and aren't playing to their strengths, overlapping and bursting forward, that's down to the system. Grav playing further forward imo hasn't helped the defence in general and is leaving big holes in the middle of the pitch.

Gomez has always looked solid as a fullback. You lose a bit going forward, but I think Id rather that than Dom.

it just can't be Dom, we need him badly in that midfield. Gomez probably would be a bit more solid at fullback and we aren't creating anything from that position anyways so no production loss I suppose.

By all accounts he was superb for Northern Ireland the other night. Best player on the pitch by some distance. Needs slot to believe in him and give him licence to get forward.

[Norbs]

Got another yellow resulting in another ban though. He needs to stamp that out of his game, pardon the pun

I think in this day and age it's hard if you're an aggressive type player. Aggressive in the way he wants to win the ball back. The one at Chelsea was stupid though.

He's on the wrong side of the pitch to expect some support from nearby. Konate's never going to be a mature influence and Salah is flouncing around in the other half

[Mark79]

Northern Ireland play a 352, with Bradley as the right wingback.
It does suit his game better, with less defensive responsibility.

We need him to be a right back though.

The yellow was harsh apparently, with the ref letting far worse go unpunished all game.

[Norbs]

No chance we play with 3 centre backs, we've only got one fit one

[danperkins]

Man of the match, flawless performance.

If only he could play against Madrid every week.
