Liverpool players are using the international break as a way to play themselves back into form after a chastening start to October.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Reds have lost three games on the spin heading into the latest round of national team fixtures, with the pause coming at a good time for many.<\/p>\n

One of those in need of a turnaround is Conor Bradley<\/a>, who was substituted off at half-time during Liverpool<\/a>\u2018s loss at Stamford Bridge last Sunday.<\/p>\n

Bradley has struggled to get going this season<\/a>, despite being handed the chance to become Liverpool\u2019s regular starting right-back.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old is clearly a hugely talented player, however, and often shows the very best of his abilities when away with Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n

After playing a big part in his country\u2019s 2-0 win over Slovakia on Friday, Bradley has been hailed by the Northern Irish press<\/a> for his performance on the night. And some of his teammates have now gone even further with their praise. <\/p>\n

Bradley is a real leader in a revived Northern Ireland team under Michael O\u2019Neil. The Liverpool academy<\/a> graduate is becoming a genuine superstar in his home nation.<\/p>\n

BBC Sport<\/a> collate some of the reactions to Bradley\u2019s display against Slovakia, with Sunderland\u2019s Trai Hume delivering the best of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cConor Bradley was the best player on the pitch by a mile, in my opinion,\u201d Hume raved.<\/p>\n

Midfielder Shea Charles \u2013 who scored against Liverpool for Southampton last month \u2013 is also quoted as calling Bradley\u2019s performance \u2018unbelievable\u2019.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Neil provides another extremely positive review for his right-back as well, with words like \u2018terrific\u2019 and \u2018outstanding\u2019 reportedly featuring heavily.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he plays in a Northern Ireland shirt he knows he plays really on the front foot,\u201d the manager is quoted as saying on Bradley.<\/p>\n

Liverpool need to get Northern Ireland Bradley<\/p>\n

Every time Bradley goes away with Northern Ireland his performances seem to get even better.<\/p>\n

Handed the responsibility of being arguably his team\u2019s best player, the youngster always feels to deliver on the international stage.<\/p>\n

It is not as though Bradley has been especially bad for Liverpool, but it is clear that he is not fully able to translate his performance from country to club.<\/p>\n

There is clearly a super player ready to explode here, though, and Arne Slot needs to work out a way of harnessing that back at Anfield.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s tweaking Bradley\u2019s role a little, or simply making him feel a bigger part of the team, something has to change. Otherwise, Liverpool will continue to fail in getting the best out of him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool players are using the international break as a way to play themselves back into form after a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":492473,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5011],"tags":[8928,90462,1144,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-492472","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-northern-ireland","8":"tag-conor-bradley","9":"tag-internationals","10":"tag-northern-ireland","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115358817105247559","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=492472"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492472\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/492473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=492472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=492472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=492472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
