Liverpool fans make one thing clear about Milos Kerkez’s performance vs Man City

 Liverpool were looking to make it three wins in a row when they welcomed Manchester City to Anfield.

The Reds had to win to keep pace in the Champions League race, with fourth-place Manchester United already securing three points the day prior.

Arne Slot could make few changes to his squad for Sunday’s clash due to injury and fitness issues.

Liverpool were once again without a natural right-back in the eleven, while Cody Gakpo kept his place on the left wing.

Ahead of the game, Alan Shearer suggested Man City’s defence is poor, a claim Reds fans were no doubt hoping was going to be the case on Sunday.

A tough clash was expected, and Liverpool were going to need the likes of Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz in top form if they were to secure a positive result from the fixture.

Liverpool fans in agreement about Milos Kerkez vs Manchester City

The Merseysiders began the tie by nearly conceding an early goal following a long ball from Marc Guehi that ended with Erling Haaland in on goal.

However, some brilliant defending from Milos Kerkez managed to keep City at bay in the early stages.

The Hungarian was doing a particularly good job of preventing Antoine Semenyo from causing too many problems, and fans have now reacted.

One fan wrote: “Kerkez already having one of his best performances in a Liverpool shirt.”

A second added: “Kerkez is going to have his Robbo 17/18 against City type of performance today.”

Another claimed: “Kerkez having a big game performance today.”

“Kerkez looking so much better now,” commented another Liverpool fan.

A fifth stated: “Kerkez has been unreal so far, love watching him play,” while another added: “Kerkez our best player.”

Milos Kerkez’s response to critics

After a slow start following his summer transfer from Bournemouth, Kerkez has won over Liverpool fans.

Gary Neville has commented on the left-back’s improvement over the last few months, while Alan Shearer has been proven wrong about the Reds ace.

Meanwhile, Kerkez has responded to critics who doubted him earlier in his Anfield spell.

Taking to social media, he wrote: “Critics give me even more fuel.
