Conor Bradley has admitted he was disappointed with his performance in Northern Ireland’s defeat to Slovakia as the Liverpool star was deployed in a more offensive role. It was a goal that ensured Slovakia’s chances of qualifying automatically for next summer’s World Cup will be determined on Monday against Germany in Leipzig.

Reflecting on his personal performance, Bradley told the Irish News: “I think it was a difficult game to get into, whether I was playing as wing-back or a 10. “I don’t feel like I had probably my best game that I’ve had for Northern Ireland, but I just tried to work as hard as I could and help the boys as much as possible.

It’s obviously a difficult game. Slovakia are a good team.” Conor Bradley in action for Northern Ireland against Slovakia (Image: Getty Images) Despite the disappointing defeat, Northern Ireland actually secured a play-off spot on Friday thanks to results elsewhere.
