Evan Ferguson would struggle to make the games, which are crucial to Nations League fate, if this aspect of his club form was taken into account.
Heimir Hallgrímsson will have to shake the rust off some of his players when they arrive in Dublin next week to prepare for Ireland’s Nations League promotion/relegation play-off against Bulgaria.
The Reds’ shock FA Cup exit to Plymouth means he is likely to spend the rest of the season on the bench - barring another injury to Alisson. And it’s a mixed bag up-front, with Evan Ferguson’s club woes giving Hallgrímsson a headache ahead of the two games. And Mark Travers has played every minute since his loan move to Middlesbrough, after spending most of his time at Bournemouth on the bench.
At the other end of the scale, Seamus Coleman has lost out on so much playing time this season through injury, while his club-mate Jake O’Brien has bounced from the bench to the battlefield under David Moyes, albeit in an unfamiliar right-back role.
