It's amazing how bradley went from not good enough in poor overall team performances to "wow he's going to be some player".
Batman never doubted the young man. Confidence is key for any player to play well and also playing in a way that gets the best out of players.
Sobosli is rumoured to become the next captain after virg but conors a dark horse for the captaincy in the future. Didn't want to say it when he was getting slated but the young man has something about him.

His main challenge is avoiding injuries. If he can stay fit, he’s got the potential to be a top player. But at his age, he needs continuous development otherwise, he’ll fade into being just another average player. It’s still early days though.

Let’s see if he can have another good game at the Etihad on Sunday and string a run of good games together.
That’s when I can consider him to be improving and learning.

Bradley had maybe his best game for Liverpool midweek and here's hoping it does his confidence the world of good and he kicks on. But it's ok to criticize the manager the team and the players when they are not performing just as we praise them when they are playing well.

I love the kid think he’s brilliant obviously he needs to be consistent and have tactics that suit him.

Connor now has to realise he plays like Connor Bradley and not try to be the next TAA or an inverted right back (whatever that modern tripe is), just play like a simple normal right back.
Play forward when you can (no sideways passes putting ye centre backs and midfielders under pressure, play forward down the line, and more importantly stop the crosses, and support the man in front of him Dominic and MO.
At least 50% of the goals we have conceded have been crossed from our right back position, begging the question were is the right back, because he thinks he's the new TAA and not the next Connor Bradley.

Well he’s going to have his hands full with doku on the weekend so that will be another good test for him.

That was the best right back performance we’ve seen in a long time, probably no coincidence Mo and Konate played well as well. There’s no doubting his talent, he just needs the right tactics and team around him to thrive.

If Bradley is inverting it’s because he’s being asked to do so, he isn’t just winging it.

Slot plays with both fullbacks inverted and inside the winger. It's not Bradley just trying to Trent. He also doesn't float into CM like Trent did, because you could with Trent's skillset.

I wonder if Kerkez would have also excelled had he played in that match when the defense, midfield and attackers all lifted their game, helped each other and put a proper effort in?
As it stands he still seems to be getting a whipping even though 9 or 10 players (barring Szob who's been immense all season) improved drastically from being whipped only a couple of games ago.

I think Bradley like Macca, weren't playing well cos they simply weren't fit to start the season. Neither had a preseason due to their injuries and Slot for some reason, was trying to play them into form at the start of the season, for the poor performances we were seeing. That was never ideal.
Bradley was off the pace hence, he kept getting yellow cards cos he seemed to be a split second late in his interventions. That happens when you are forcing things cos again he wasn't fully fit yet. Same for Macca.
Now cos he and Macca are getting fitter and stronger, they are now playing well cos they are getting their legs underneath them so their ability is starting to show. IMO, this ain't complicated.
