Micah Richards, a former Manchester City player, has blasted three Liverpool players after the Reds’ 2-1 loss to Manchester United over the weekend: Conor Bradley, Milos Kerkez, and Alexander Isak.He added the trio are ‘shadows of the players’ they were last season. Cody Gakpo struck in the 78th minute to cancel out Bryan Mbeumo’s early opening in Sunday’s drama at Anfield but Manchester United retook the lead and went on to earn all three points, due to Harry Maguire’s header in the 84th minuteIt was Manchester United’s first victory at Anfield in nearly ten years and their first back-to-back wins since Ruben Amorim replaced Erik ten Hag as manager, but Richards, on The Rest Is Football podcast, criticized Liverpool full-backs Bradley and Kerkez for their third straight Premier League loss and their fourth overall, dropping them to fourth place in the table, four points behind league leaders Arsenal.It’s simply not happening right now, Liverpool,” the former England defender stated. “Kerkez appears to be a shadow of the Bournemouth player from the previous season.” I saw Conor Bradley, and this season, he is a shadow of that guy for Liverpool. He always seems to be thinking, “I need to release the ball to somebody,” as he moves forward, but he is capable of doing it. Richards remarked, “If you spend over £100m on [Florian] Wirtz and Isak, they should be ready to go,” in reference to the multimillion-dollar acquisition from Newcastle United. “Isak is the player’s shadow. “The entire summertime disaster is beginning to show. He is not fit.
