ARNE SLOT BREAKS SILENCE ON KERKEZ’S FORM AFTER LIVERPOOL WOBBLES
Liverpool boss Arne Slot defends new signing Milos Kerkez, explaining his defensive role & need for better synergy with Cody Gakpo. The £40m left-back has faced criticism, but Slot insists he brings "energy" and defensive solidity.

Before going on a four-game losing streak across all competitions, Liverpool began the current season with five consecutive Premier League victories.
But in their most recent Champions League match, they defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1, snapping the slump in their record.
Arne Slot talked on a variety of subjects before the Premier League match against Brentford, including the performances of the new Liverpool players.
Milos Kerkez is one such player who has taken his time adjusting to life at Anfield. The 21-year-old Hungarian joined Liverpool this summer for a reported £40 million ($53.2 million) after finishing as one of the Premier League's top left-backs for Bournemouth the previous season.
However, he has been a ghost of his former self since moving to Merseyside, and even Slot has some of the blame for his lacklustre performances because he has not given Kerkez enough leeway to go on overlapping runs on the left wing.
Kerkez, who concluded the previous season with five assists and two goals while playing in all 38 league games for the Cherries, is well-known for his brisk overlapping runs on the left wing.
Slot has tied the kid with defensive responsibilities, as he is often regarded as playing the third defender, whilst limiting his attacking production.
What was Arne Slot's opinion of Kerkez, Liverpool's recent acquisition?
Slot has stuck with Kerkez in spite of his erratic play, starting him in all eight league games instead of the more seasoned Andrew Robertson.
According to the Dutchman, the Hungarian has performed admirably in his defensive responsibilities, earning frequent starts on the left wing.
Since I also need to talk about Robbo, I do not think it is the right place for me to express this. When questioned by reporters about Kerkez, Slot stated, "I can tell you that the reason we brought him in is that he is bringing a lot of energy to the game, continues going up and down."
Additionally, he excels at defending against his wingers in one-on-one situations. defensively sound, and they put a lot of effort toward creating overlaps."
For his careless challenges and lack of connection with Cody Gakpo, who often plays on the left wing for the Reds, Kerkez has drawn a lot of criticism.
Slot believes that when more games are played, the two players' synergy will grow and show on the pitch.
He has been a little unlucky, in my opinion, that Cody has mostly relied on his greatest strength, which is going inside and hitting the target, but we have also shown Cody that there were a few instances in which it could have been wiser to play the ball towards Milos.
"So, once more, let us look at a scenario where two players are playing together and need to strengthen their bond. We brought him in for that reason, and I believe that answers your question more accurately than drawing comparisons between him and Robbo."
We anticipate that Kerkez will improve his performances, given that he has played in up to 12 games in all competitions this season; if not, Slot will have to revert to Robertson, his reliable soldier.
DISCIPLINARY BLOW: MADRID PLAYER SUSPENDED POST EL CLáSICO TUSSLE
Real Madrid's backup keeper Andriy Lunin has been handed a one-game suspension by the RFEF for his aggressive conduct on the bench during the heated final moments of El Clásico. Real Madrid's appeal was rejected.

Los Blancos' goalie Andriy Lunin has been suspended for one game by the RFEF Disciplinary Committee for his involvement in the sideline dramas during the El Clásico's final moments. Although the cameras did not catch it, referee Soto Grado did record that he had sent the Ukrainian off.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the RFEF responded as follows when asked why Lunin received a red card.
The reason for Lunin, Andrii's expulsion in the 90th minute was that he had to be restrained by his teammates after he walked aggressively from his bench to the blonde bench.
The disciplinary committee of the RFEF
"When considered significant, those whose behaviour violates sporting order will be suspended for four to ten games or fined between 602 and 3,006 euros."
Because of Lunin's actions, which constituted a minor violation of the sporting order, he was suspended for one game. The ruling had been challenged by Real Madrid. However, the RFEF stayed steadfast, defending the referee's ruling and the evidence in the match report and on film.
Now, the backup goalie will not play against Valencia this weekend, where he is probably going to be benched. Fran Gonzalez and Sunico, both from the youth team, might be called up as the matchday squad's third choice, with Sergio Mestre serving as a backup.
No Barcelona players or any other Real Madrid players were slapped with bans following the two flash moments in the closing stages of the game. When Vinicius Jr. and Lamie Yamal argued, even players who were not on the team were spotted shoving on the side of the field. The RFEF, however, determined that nothing that came to pass would justify further prohibitions.

According to Bukayo Saka, it is feasible for Arsenal and England to win both games this season. The season has started well for the Gunners under Mikel Arteta's leadership.
Arsenal leads the Premier League standings by four points at the moment and is starting to look like a title contender. Manchester City is only one point ahead of defending champions Liverpool, who are seven points behind.
Saka, however, is not only interested in winning at his club; he also hopes to succeed internationally. Manager Thomas Tuchel has stated that winning the trophy is his ambition for England, who have qualified for the World Cup in the USA next year.
Saka is optimistic about his club's and his nation's chances of winning. "Yeah, that is my prayer," he remarked in an interview with Sky Sports. It is possible, of course.
