Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has advised Liverpool manager Arne Slot to remove Milos Kerkez from his starting lineup, insisting the left-back has become a weak link in the Reds’ defence.
Neville made the comments following Liverpool’s 3–2 Premier League defeat to Brentford over the weekend.“I actually think that there were quite a few of those games they’ve lost that they could’ve won,” Neville told Metro UK.
“Early in the season, I felt their full-backs weren’t right — maybe [Ibrahima] Konate at times wasn’t right — and Virgil van Dijk was holding them together, with Alisson in goal.
“You’ve got two world-class performers there in Van Dijk and Alisson, but the virus is catching. It’s not just going into the left-back.
“The left-back [Kerkez] is becoming a worry. He scored last night [against Brentford], but watching him, he has to be taken out, I think.”
Liverpool will look to bounce back when they face Aston Villa in their next Premier League fixture.
