Wrexham defender says it’s tactics, not contracts
Conor Coady insists Ibrahima Konate’s slow start isn’t about his expiring Liverpool deal but the new role he’s playing under Arne Slot. With wider defensive duties, Konate’s essentially moonlighting as a right-back—and every centre-back knows that’s like asking a goalkeeper to juggle flaming tennis balls.
Coady explained on BBC’s Monday Night Club that teams now exploit the channels Liverpool leave when full-backs push high, forcing Konate into difficult spots. Still, his ability remains key as Liverpool chase consistency early in the season.
