Liverpool on the Brink: Will Arne Slot’s Next Move Rescue a Defense in Tatters?
From Stability to Fragility: The Right-Back Dilemma
Bradley’s rise was one of Liverpool’s success stories last season. His energy, defensive discipline, and attacking contributions made him a reliable alternative to Trent Alexander-Arnold, who departed the club before this campaign. Bradley’s injury now leaves Liverpool dangerously exposed at right-back.
On paper, Jeremie Frimpong could slot into the role. Signed for his dynamism and versatility, Frimpong is a natural right-back. However, Slot’s tactical adjustments during Mohamed Salah’s AFCON absence have pushed Frimpong into an advanced role on the right wing. His pace and attacking instincts have been crucial in compensating for Salah’s absence, making it unlikely Slot will sacrifice that attacking outlet by moving him back permanently.
