Liverpool's new left-back, Milos Kerkez, has been under fire after a shaky performance against Manchester United. The Hungarian player, who joined the Reds from Bournemouth this summer, has started every Premier League game so far. However, his recent display has raised eyebrows, with critics saying he looked nervous and out of his depth.
Kerkez's struggles were evident from the start. United's Amad Diallo gave him a tough time, exploiting his weaknesses. The first goal of the match came from Kerkez's side, though Virgil van Dijk also shares some blame. Fans and pundits are now questioning if Kerkez is the right choice for Liverpool's left-back position.
Manager Arne Slot has shown a lot of trust in Kerkez, keeping him in the starting lineup despite his shaky performances. This has left Andy Robertson, the previous left-back, on the bench. Robertson must be wondering what he needs to do to get back into the team.
Slot has been rotating his squad in other positions, giving chances to players like Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, and Jeremie Frimpong. But Kerkez seems to have a guaranteed spot, which has sparked debate among fans. Some think Robertson deserves more playing time, given Kerkez's recent struggles.
The pressure is on Kerkez to improve. If he doesn't step up soon, Liverpool might need to reconsider their left-back options. For now, the Hungarian has a lot to prove to win over the fans and critics.
