Manchester United legend and pundit Gary Neville savaged Liverpool defender Milos Kerkez for his "naive" performance against Chelsea. Liverpool suffered their third consecutive loss across all competitions as they went down 2-1 against the Blues at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Kerkez featured in Arne Slot's starting lineup but was subbed off in the 55th minute.

Milos Kerkez stands accused of being unable to withstand the demands at Liverpool, with the left-back told that he even brought down Virgil van Dijk during the Reds' 2-1 loss to rivals Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday. Kerkez, who was one of the Premier League's best full-backs in 2024-25 season while at Bournemouth, is yet to live up to the expectations on Merseyside.

Alan Shearer has claimed that a Liverpool star is "not the same player" he was last season, pointing out at a worrying theme under Arne Slot. The Reds have made a perfect start to their Premier League title defence with five successive wins and also opened their Champions League campaign with a win over Atletico Madrid, but one player is struggling for rhythm.

That first international break of the season always comes at just the wrong time. With teams starting to get into the groove as they switch from pre-season to competitive action, and with the final new signings of the summer arriving on deadline day, that Premier League fans had to wait two weeks to see their teams in action was almost a travesty. Fortunately, that wait is now over.
