"The more players play together, the better it will be. You cannot compare Trent with Conor. But Conor played an outstanding game, like many others. I think the team performance is what made the difference today. Everyone was really fighting to get that win over the line, throwing themselves in front of shots, sprinting back when needed, being ready for a high press. So, there were a lot of positives to take also from individual performances, like Conor's."
"The challenge for him now is to make himself ready, because he's not been used to 90 minutes a lot this season and after two days of rest the next one is coming up. So, we have to think about that as well. But for now, your question was, Did he play well?' Yes, he played well today."
Liverpool ended a poor run with a victory over Aston Villa, driven by a strong team display. Conor Bradley completed his first 90-minute game since the Merseyside derby in September and produced an outstanding performance. Bradley has struggled earlier this season and carries a concerning injury and fitness record that requires careful management. He is not used to playing full matches regularly, so recovery and rotation decisions will be important with fixtures coming quickly. Jeremie Frimpong's expected absence until December increases the likelihood of Bradley being needed as a starter in coming weeks.
