One stunning Bradley Barcola stat from his Liverpool debut should scare the whole Premier League

Bradley Barcola came off the bench in Liverpool’s 2-0 victory against Ipswich Town on Friday to make his debut for the visitors.

The 24-year-old winger came onto the pitch after 64 minutes to mark his first appearance for the Reds since his big £123million move from PSG.

From here, the France international helped the visitors see out their first victory of the season as they remained in control against Ipswich Town.

When examining Barcola’s performance specifically, there were plenty of positive signs in his display.

While the winger was unable to pick up a goal or an assist, it was obvious from his impact that he can kick on.

This is shown in his stats, with Barcola already showcasing the potential that he has.

How good was Bradley Barcola on his Liverpool debut?

While Barcola did not set the world alight on his debut, it was no doubt a promising performance.

According to Fotmob, he completed five out of his attempted seven passes, had a 0.07 xA, created one chance, completed one out of two attempted dribbles and had one touch inside Ipswich Town’s box.

On top of this, Barcola registered the highest top speed in the match at 35.9km/h.

To do all of this in just 26 minutes of football is no doubt impressive and has already given Liverpool fans a hint of how good he is.

Moreover, that stunning top speed serves notice to the rest of the Premier League that Liverpool had an electric operator capable of causing mayhem.

However, it remains to be seen if Barcola can improve on these stats when he is given a start by Andoni Iraola.

Liverpool must use Ipswich win as platform 

The victory over Ipswich was far from a dominant one, but it was exactly what the Reds needed.

After back-to-back draws, it was vital that Liverpool took home three points from Portman Road, and they did exactly that.

Now, Iraola’s side have to use this as a platform to gain momentum and further victories.

Next up, Liverpool face Atletico Madrid, before taking on Fulham, Tottenham Hotspur and Bournemouth before the international break.

Three victories from four matches here would help end any doubts about Iraola and truly kick-start the Reds’ season.

However, it remains to be seen if they are able to achieve this in the coming weeks.
