Forced off with cramps
Kerkez contributed four tackles, (four won), two interceptions and one chance created before being forced off in the 88th minute of Wednesday's 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid due to cramps, according to coach Andoni Iraola, per the Liverpool Echo. "Milos was just cramping [and] was just tired. I think I always want to do subs because of this, because you've given everything, you don't have any more, perfect. We do the subs, not because you haven't run and I have to sub you. So, I prefer when you've done everything you can and then we sub you because you cannot run anymore."
Analysis: Kerkez had a quieter attacking outing in the earlier win over Ipswich Town, picking up a yellow card while contributing four crosses and two tackles, but this performance against Atletico showed his defensive value in full. He remains the unquestioned top choice at left back for Liverpool, and manager Iraola's comments suggest the cramping was purely a matter of exertion rather than any underlying issue.
Four crosses in win
Kerkez generated four crosses (two accurate) and two tackles in Friday's 2-0 win over Ipswich Town. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 57th minute.
Analysis: Kerkez didn't get involved in the attack for large parts of Friday's win, but he was still busy throughout the match. The defender just wasn't very involved in the match, doing well to pressure the backline and provide width. Kerkez remains a big part of the starting XI and the unquestioned top choice at left-back.
