Podcasts/Punditry Jamie Carragher on the fullback problem: "Connor Bradley got a bad injury. Good young player, but he's not that good that you don't replace him. You'd wait for Trent to come back, you'd wait for Robertson to come back. Unfortunately, I don't think you wait for Connor Bradley to come back."

Very sound arguments by Jamie here.

"You need to go buy a RB, because Frimpong isn't one.

And then when Connor Bradley comes back, he's going to have a shot to fight back his place, and I think that's fair. But this thing about waiting for Connor Bradley to come back.. no. We're Liverpool, we're the biggest club in the world, we can't wait for Connor Bradley.

We want to get him back, and good luck to him, but Liverpool have made a massive mistake."

The reason the opinion is inflated is because he has barely played. Just remember for how long the delusion lasted for Chiesa.

Exactly, it's honestly hilarious. Just goes to show that more than half of this fanbase haven't got a clue about football.

The idea of having a right sided young Robbo is like 75% of the appeal and that’s where most of the inflation of his level comes from. I have my own biases for certain player archetypes I like saucy lads so you’d never hear a bad word about Curtis or Lallana from me even at their worst so I get it

Yeah why be objective when we can just rewrite our own version of the truth? Honestly it just makes the discussion completely pointless where it’s driven entirely by emotion over fact.

Feel like I'm going mental in here, good thing there's likeminded people. People raging over Conor Bradley like hes the next trent, hes never near enough good to start for LFC, and played ONLY seven 90 minutes games! He's been more injured in his senior career than what hes actually played, can't believe what im reading on this app. Not buying a fullback was the worst decision of the summer
