EPL: Take him out – Neville advises Slot to drop Liverpool’s Kerkez after defeat

Sky Sports pundit, Gary Neville has urged Liverpool manager Arne Slot to take Milos Kerkez out of his starting XI.

Neville believes Kerkez is becoming a worry for Liverpool and should be dropped for the Reds’ next Premier League clash with Aston Villa.

The Englishman spoke after Liverpool’s Premier League 3-2 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 said of Liverpool’s latest defeat as quoted by Metro UK.

“Early on in the season, I felt their full-backs weren’t right, maybe Ibrahim Konate’s at times weren’t right, and Virgil van Dijk was holding them together, and Alisson [Becker] was in goal.

“You have 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 [Kerkez] scored last night [against Brentford], but watching him, he has to be taken out, I think.”
