Continuing with the lack of right-back stability, it was Bradley’s turn to start in the Merseyside derby win over Everton at Anfield. Frimpong got the nod against Southampton in the Carabao Cup, but struggled, with This Is Anfield‘s James Nalton saying in his player ratings: “Made a few needless giveaways in the opening stages, and it wasn’t the most convincing performance.” Frimpong didn’t do enough to keep his place for the defeat away to Crystal Palace, but equally, Bradley was axed at half-time after an unconvincing showing.

Szoboszlai again did well at right-back in the second half, proving to be one of the few positives, with Frimpong introduced late on. They both started away to Galatasaray, but interestingly, it was Szoboszlai at right-back and Frimpong in the absent Mohamed Salah‘s attacking role.

Liverpool’s right-back starters in the last 7 games Burnley 0-1 Liverpool (Szoboszlai) Liverpool 3-2 Atletico Madrid (Frimpong) Liverpool 2-1 Everton (Bradley) Liverpool 2-1 Southampton (Frimpong) Crystal Palace 2-1 Liverpool (Bradley) Galatasaray 1-0 Liverpool (Szoboszlai) Chelsea 2-1 Liverpool (Bradley) As mentioned, that means a right-back hasn’t retained his place in Liverpool’s past seven matches, which is far from ideal. While Szoboszlai has been a plus at right-back, he needs to return to his favoured midfield role.
