Liverpool's Left-Back Struggles Under Spotlight

EnglandMon Oct 20 2025

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.

Struggles from the Start

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 Question Kerkez's Role

Fans and pundits are now questioning if Kerkez is the right choice for Liverpool's left-back position.

Manager Arne Slot's Trust in Kerkez

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.

Squad Rotation and Debate

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.

Pressure on Kerkez to Improve

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.
