With Conor Bradley not yet ready to start and Trent Alexander-Arnold still injured, Curtis Jones was asked to go again.

After a struggle of a first-half for Jones, though, Bradley was introduced during the second-half.

The Northern Irishman made a real difference when he came on, grabbing an assist for Luis Diaz.



And according to journalist Lewis Steele, Bradley looked rather different on his reintroduction to the first-team.

Bradley’s injury could not have come at a worse time.

It also robbed Bradley of the chance to show that he can be Liverpool’s starter if Alexander-Arnold leaves as expected this summer.

Nevertheless, Bradley is set to take over duties from Trent regardless.

In the meantime, it looks as though the 21-year-old has been hitting the gym in preparation for his promotion.

Posting on X before the game, Steele posted that Bradley looked ‘bulked up’ while stepping out for the warm-up

“Might be a trick of the light but I reckon Conor Bradley has bulked up a bit recently (in a good way!)” said the journalist.

Jones did well against Everton on Wednesday, but this was not the game for Slot to put him in again for.

Fulham have a very threatening left side.

Quite why the Liverpool head coach felt Jones was the right option only he will know.

Nevertheless, there was not a great deal more he could really have done.

Bradley made a huge difference and questions have to be asked why he did not come on immediately at half-time.

The Northern Ireland international could do with beefing up a little in fairness, and he showed on Sunday that if he can add a little more physicality to his game, he’s pretty much got it all.
