After Carabao Cup win, Klopp would make this important decision with Alexander Arnold and Conor Bradley

Although it was Curtis Jones, Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez who stole the spotlight during Liverpool's 2-1 win over Fulham in the EFL Cup, manager Jurgen Klopp was able to draw from his analysis that at least Conor Bradley deserved some recognition after a consistently solid performance in what turned out to be a more difficult match than expected.

While it is true that Jones and Gakpo were the scorers of the match, Bradley's work in defense was also very important, not least because his task was to stop the Brazilian Williams as much as possible, not to mention that during this match he was the main substitute for an injured Trent Alexander Arnold.

Having responded without any pressure to this responsibility in a cup semi-final clash, Conor could be an element that Klopp would start to take more into account, having for the moment at least a couple of duels in which he can continue to prove his worth as a defender since for the moment there is no one to take charge of the fullbacks, with the coach having to resort to Joe Gomez on the right side while Bradley will be on the left until TAA returns.

Arnold's injury could be exploited to the maximum by both Klopp and Bradley, as Conor's good displays would make the coach consider him as the first option for Alexander's full-back position, with the number 66 shirt benefiting from this as his teammate's good performances could open up the opportunity to perhaps play in midfield.

Alexander Arnold insists he wants to play in midfield

Should Bradley be able to earn Klopp's trust and become a much more recurring element in the team's games, perhaps Arnold could seriously consider the option of being able to ask Klopp for that chance to play in central midfield, there being a replacement with great potential who can be over the months the new great promise that he once was.
