Liverpool player ratings vs. Fulham as excellent Conor Bradley shines

Liverpool’s player ratings are good against Fulham. Conor Bradley is very good.

In Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Fulham on Wednesday night, Conor Bradley was a standout player, but Curtis Jones was outstanding as well.

Willian’s goal just before halftime stunned the home team as Jurgen Klopp’s team overcame a behind to defeat the Cottagers in their Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg match at Anfield.

To calm the crowd, Jones deflected a long-range shot to make it 1-1, then Cody Gakpo finished brilliantly to give Liverpool the lead.

Here, we contrast our player rankings with readers’ assessments from This Is Anfield, the Liverpool Echo, the Evening Standard, and FotMob.

Bradley (8.0) was thrown into the starting lineup with Trent Alexander-Arnold out injured, and he stood out as Liverpool’s best player.

The 20-year-old looked so at home at right-back all evening, defending well and providing attacking thrust, and he looks like a good squad option.

The Echo‘s Ian Doyle described it as a “very encouraging” performance by Bradley, saying he “roused the crowd with tackles on Robinson and Willian.”

TIA’s Mark Delgado gave him a nine-out-of-10 rating, claiming he “got forward fearlessly” and was “never afraid to take on his man.”

Jones (7.6) got the second-highest overall rating, as his influence continues to grow in the midfield this season.

Incredibly, FotMob pointed out that the young Scouser completed 47 out of 48 passes – a tally of 98 percent – as well as making six recoveries.

Delgado claimed that Jones had “plenty of industry and no shortage of inspiration” and that he made an effort to “raise the tempo whenever possible.”

Diogo Jota (7.1) and Ibrahima Konate (7.1) tied for the third-best score, both of whom contributed significantly to the victory.

The Evening Standard’s Dom Smith thought Jota “started to find openings” after the break, while Doyle was impressed by Konate, who he felt was “the more composed of Liverpool’s two central defenders.”

With the exception of one excellent dribble and shot, Ryan Gravenberch (5.7) was unimpressive, thus it was not surprising that he received the lowest rating.
