‘Some player’…Chris Sutton says the media are spot on about how good one Liverpool player is

Conor Bradley returned to the Liverpool XI this weekend as he helped them dismantle Brentford and go top of the Premier League again.

The Reds are in fine form and while the day was ruined by some bad injuries to key players like Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez, nothing can take away the fact that Liverpool are sitting pretty right now.

Part of their brilliant run of form has been the emergence and then subsequent performances of young right-back Bradley.

The academy product has been nothing short of sensational and Jurgen Klopp believes he has a ‘very special’ young talent on his hands.

And speaking on the It’s All Kicking Off Podcast, Chris Sutton has said that the media hype around Bradley, for once, is bang on the money.

“You look at them defensively and Conor Bradley looks really looks some player. I’m always sceptical when a young player has a game or two and all your lot [the media] goes mad because Liverpool is a big club and we know the expectation that comes with that and I think have they gone early, but I don’t think they have,” Sutton said.

Conor Bradley is a star in the making

Well, he’s already a star right now really but in the future, he could be as good a right-back as we have seen at this level.

Trent Alexander-Arnold might well find himself in that midfield area sooner than he expected, such is the impact of Bradley at the club right now.

At the moment, it’s almost impossible for Klopp to even contemplate dropping Bradley. He’s been so, so good that even though he’s so young, his effect on the team has been massive.

Liverpool are flying high right now and could win a trophy this weekend. For Conor Bradley, that would cap quite the rise these last few months.
