Arne Slot has been cautioned that he may have made a tactical error by positioning Dominik Szoboszlai as a right-back during Liverpool's Champions League game against Galatasaray. Bradley was one of four players relegated to the bench following Liverpool's weekend defeat to Crystal Palace, with Szoboszlai given the task of filling the right-back position.

"That decision to play Szoboszlai at right back and not Frimpong," he said.

"He has been attacked twice, done for pace, and has given away a penalty." Meanwhile, following Liverpool's summer acquisition of Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, Alan Shearer implied that Slot appeared uncertain about his natural right-back choices, having opted to deploy Szoboszlai in that role during the team's game in Turkey. "Yet you're playing a midfielder at right-back, so that tells you he's not comfortable." Liverpool's right-back spot is up for grabs after Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure to Real Madrid during the summer.
