Aligned holder against Burnley this Sunday in the Premier League, Milos Kerkez, warned for simulation in the 22nd minute, was replaced by Andy Robertson even before half time. After the final whistle, Liverpool's coach, Arne Slot justified this choice by pointing to the sometimes excessive commitment of the Hungarian left side.
“I replaced him because he received a yellow card. I think the supporters here thought they had a chance to win the match if we took a second yellow card. With Milos, I can never be 100% sure that he does not commit the next fault, and that the supporters then put pressure on the referee (to exclude it). He plays each duel as if his life depended on it. I think the only way to lose today was to be reduced to ten ”said former Feyenoord coach. Arrived from Bournemouth this summer, Kerkez has not yet fully taken his marks in Anfield.
