Match week is upon us. This very week, Liverpool travels to Southampton to play in that miserable Premier League top-versus-bottom matchup.
Although the international break in November is not quite over, it is nearing its conclusion, and many Liverpool players will start to wind down and return to Merseyside.
While Dominik Szoboszlai’s Hungary hosts Germany later today, Ryan Gravenberch and Cody Gakpo finish their Netherlands duties against Bosnia-Bosnia-Hergoslavia (Virgil van Dijk returned to Liverpool early).
Away from Europe, South Americans Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, and Darwin Nunez will all play at different times on Tuesday night (GMT) as Japan, captained by Wataru Endo, takes on China in a 2026 World Cup qualifying match.Many Redmen were blessed with good fortunes last night. For instance, Scotland, led by Andy Robertson and Ben Doak, overcame Poland to maintain their Nations League Tier A standing.
Scotland’s top players are Andy Robertson and Ben Doak.Tartan chaos began as Robertson scored in the 93rd minute. With a headed goal in the final seconds, the Scotland captain gave his country a valuable victory over Poland that might revive Steve Clarke’s team.Having previously trampled under Josko Gvardiol’s experience, Doak was once again the true star of the show. In his 66 minutes, the 19-year-old, who is so gifted and well-liked, made four crucial passes.
This child is truly gifted. Doak has a lot to learn, but he also has a lot at his disposal. If given enough time, he could develop his skill level to the point where he deserves a key role in Arne Slot’s Liverpool team.However, he wasn’t the only young gun to leave his mark. Conor Bradley’s performance for Northern Ireland might have been the highlight of all of Scotland’s celebrations. He is more than proving himself.
Conor Bradley is once again successful.
The contract crisis with Trent Alexander-Arnold rumbles in the background like the drumming of a storm that is getting closer and closer. These brief moments of relief—Bradley’s brilliance—allays anxieties to some extent.According to Football Insider, Liverpool thinks they have a promising right-back with the ability to play frequently. After putting in demonstrations like this one, Bradley barely refutes such ideas.
Although Northern Ireland lost to Luxembourg in the Nations League C Tier, the Green and White Army advanced to the B tier with the point. Bradley did his share of the work, and Belfast Live gave the 21-year-old an 8/10 match rating.
