Every footballer wants to play.

No player enjoys sitting on the bench, especially when they know they can contribute on the pitch.

In a long and competitive season, game time matters – not just for individual development but also for team chemistry and confidence.

Some players get frustrated when they don’t play enough, while others take it as motivation.

At Liverpool, the fight for places is intense.

With so many top-quality midfielders, minutes are never guaranteed.
