Bradley Barcola is still looking for his first Liverpool goal (Picture: Getty Images) Arsenal legend Thierry Henry expects a tricky time for Bradley Barcola at the start of his Liverpool career, but has warned the summer signing that ‘he’s going to have to deliver’ soon. The only thing he needs to work on is his finishing, but that’s normal.

I became so much more sure about my game. ‘With winning the Champions League back-to-back, playing for France, with the price tag and the quality that he has, people are not going to wait for him to become the finished article, so he’s going to have to deliver. There is going to be a level of expectation, and sometimes he is a bit raw in his finishing, but he creates a hell of a lot.’ Barcola made his Champions League debut for Liverpool against Atletico Madrid (Picture: Getty Images) Another new arrival at Anfield, Jeremy Jacquet, has made a very impressive start since signing from Rennes.

The 21-year-old has slotted in alongside Virgil van Dijk in the middle of the defence and Henry is not surprised he is living up to his potential. ‘It’s always been very high,’ he said of Jacquet’s reputation. ‘When I was the coach of the [France] Under-21s I wanted to call him up, he was only 16 or 17, but he didn’t come because he had to take his exams. As much as he is concentrated on football, he was also concentrated on getting his degrees. ‘He’s very on-point in his head, and his family knows what he needs to do and how he can be successful.
