Liverpool players are using the international break as a way to play themselves back into form after a chastening start to October.

The Reds have lost three games on the spin heading into the latest round of national team fixtures, with the pause coming at a good time for many.

One of those in need of a turnaround is Conor Bradley, who was substituted off at half-time during Liverpool‘s loss at Stamford Bridge last Sunday.

Bradley has struggled to get going this season, despite being handed the chance to become Liverpool’s regular starting right-back.

The 22-year-old is clearly a hugely talented player, however, and often shows the very best of his abilities when away with Northern Ireland.

After playing a big part in his country’s 2-0 win over Slovakia on Friday, Bradley has been hailed by the Northern Irish press for his performance on the night. And some of his teammates have now gone even further with their praise.

Bradley is a real leader in a revived Northern Ireland team under Michael O’Neil. The Liverpool academy graduate is becoming a genuine superstar in his home nation.
