"Kerkez is going to struggle to get back into the team now, he told Football Insider. The manager made that decision to take him off during the first half, and it was probably the right one because he was at risk of getting sent off. But if you're putting the manager in a position where he has to make that call, he's not going to be happy with your performance."
"Robertson would be the first-choice left-back for the majority of clubs in the Premier League, and he'll be keen to make his mark and come back into the starting XI. I thought when Kerkez was going to Liverpool that he would be a top-class replacement for him. By no means is he a bad player, he's obviously top quality and they rate him highly at Liverpool, but this is what you need at top clubs in the modern game."
Milos Kerkez joined Liverpool from Bournemouth and began the season as the club's starting left-back, displacing Andy Robertson. Kerkez was booked for simulation during the Burnley match and was substituted in the first half after risking a red card. Andy Robertson replaced him and produced a strong performance that contributed to a 1-0 win. Former chief scout Mick Brown warned that Kerkez will struggle to regain the starting role and emphasized that top clubs require players to be replaceable after mistakes. Kerkez remains highly rated but must show greater consistency and experience to retain his place.
