Conor Bradley names toughest opponent...

Young Liverpool sensation Conor Bradley has named Raheem Sterling as his toughest opponent since breaking into Liverpool's first-team this season. 

The Northern Irish full-back has established himself as a regular starter for the Reds in recent months and impressing in the absence of the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold - Bradley racking up seven goal involvements (one goal and six assists) in 18 appearances in all competitions. 

The 20-year-old has been an outstanding performer for Liverpool in a series of high profile encounters and notably helped the Merseysiders lift the Carabao Cup courtesy of a 1-0 extra-time victory over Chelsea back in February. 

Speaking on the subject of his breakthrough this season, Bradley told Sky Sports that a former Red had been his toughest opponent to date. 

"Raheem Sterling," Bradley stated in response to a question on his toughest test this season. "I also found Willian tough when I played against Fulham. At international level we played against Greece and Kostas Tsimikas gave me a tough night."

The former Bolton loanee also mentioned the key role Scotland captain Andy Robertson has played in maintaining his form. 

"Andy has been brilliant with me since I came into the Liverpool squad," Bradley added. "He's helped me through it and has given me little tips before games that help settle any nerves.

"He keeps battering me about consistency. Keep doing the same things every day and every game. I've been trying to do that.

"I want to have as many good games as I can. I think I've been doing that pretty well recently but I need to keep it going."
