From the source

Bradley Barcola has not escaped scrutiny for some slightly below par displays for Liverpool since his £123m arrival this summer, with fans and pundits expecting fireworks from the Frenchman.

Although he now has three goals and two assists for the Reds, there have been some poor performances thrown in there as well. For a player who cost so much, Barcola has occasionally looked like one who does not want to step up and take games by the scruff of the neck himself.

He certainly does not appear to be the kind of player who will be desperate to take responsibility from the penalty spot, for example, and that was clear during Wednesday’s Carabao Cup shootout win over Chelsea, when Barcola was named as the sixth taker.
