Former Scotland midfielder Don Hutchison has urged Liverpool boss Arne Slot to drop summer signing Jeremie Frimpong, claiming the Dutchman’s performances have been far below the club’s standards. Hutchison believes Conor Bradley should now be given the chance to start at right-back, arguing that Frimpong’s form and confidence have dipped alarmingly since his arrival at Anfield.
Jamie Carragher immediately expressed his concerns over Arne Slot's tactics after Liverpool had won their opening game of the new season against Bournemouth. So he was never going to hold back after watching the disturbingly ragged Reds slump to a second consecutive defeat in Tuesday's Champions League clash with Galatasaray.
Hugo Ekitike may have drawn a blank on his first appearance for Liverpool but fellow new signings Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong were both directly involved in goals before youngster Rio Ngumoha put the seal on a 3-1 victory over Yokohama F. Marinos in Wednesday's friendly in Japan.
