The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

Where do we go from there?

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

Are we doing half a season of frimpong at right back?

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

What happens if that's going really, really bad?

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

Are we potentially burning another season off the back of that?

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

So, yeah, it's a tricky one right back, I think.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

I wouldn't be hugely averse to it.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

I think as well, he's probably wanted to do a little bit more experimentation to work out what Frimpong is in this squad, and he just hasn't been able to because of how the season's gone, and he's ended up going for a little bit more of a solid, sure thing.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

And a lot of injuries as well.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

And a lot of injuries, so there might be a point where he is able to sort of work that out a little bit better next season, but

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

It's almost sort of a short-term question because I do believe, and I am biased on this as well, but I do believe if Conor Bradley comes back the same player and sorts his injury record out, he is absolutely capable of being the number one right-back for Liverpool.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

Does he do that?

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

Is it February before he does that?

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

And what do we do until then?

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

It doesn't feel very Liverpool to get somebody in short-term.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

But, I mean, we know here Trada has done right-back and has done centre-mid, so it can give you a little bit there and, you know,

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

You're going to come in until Christmas and you're going to play right back, but when Conor Brown comes back, it is his spot, but you'll get your odd game here, you'll get your odd game there.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

I mean, he hasn't even played that much for Sunderland this season, but their fans do seem to read him.

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

So I don't think that one's completely out of the equation, is it?

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

I don't... When Simic asked him, and it felt really easy that we had very little sort of backup and fullback positions, sort of going back 10 years, and...

The Anfield Wrap
Wingers & Full Backs: The Gutter

Simicast was the first player we signed and well he is a bona fide back up left back this is what he is and everyone is what he was bought to do all the way back in 2020 yeah completely and I just sort of think I understand why people get frustrated with him and Andy Robertson's injury record over the years has been excellent so we haven't seen loads and loads of Simicast playing right back for a prolonged period of time and I understand why he frustrates people I also don't really understand what people think
