Frimpong’s pace is second-to-none, and he can often recover the ball if he does make a mistake, but at the moment, it looks like he can’t swim, and someone has thrown him in the deep end.Photo by Jan Kruger/Getty ImagesThese are the thoughts of many Liverpool fans at the moment, with former Red Don Hutchison even suggesting that he’s nowhere near the standard required to be a regular starter. Don Hutchison says Jeremie Frimpong has no confidence in himselfOne thing that Arne Slot has made clear since the start of the season is that he doesn’t have a first-choice right-back.

Frimpong and Bradley are both expected to fight for a place in Liverpool’s starting XI during the entirety of the season, with Slot choosing his right-back on merit, rather than favouritism. And with this in mind, while speaking to GOAL, Hutchison has shared why he thinks Frimpong should be nowhere near Liverpool’s first-team squad.“I’d have Bradley starting in the team now, absolutely.

I don’t think Frimpong’s current standard gets him anywhere near the first XI for Liverpool,” he said.“I’ve watched every Liverpool match I could so far this season, and in some matches like the Southampton game, he just kept giving the ball away. On the left, toss a coin between Kerkez and Robertson, but Bradley has to be starting on the right.”Conor Bradley needs to keep control of his temper if he wants to keep Jeremie Frimpong out of Liverpool’s starting XIIt’s clear that throughout the rest of the season, Frimpong and Bradley will be fighting for their place in the team.
