Can Milos Kerkez Steal Robo’s Left-back Throne?…
Listen up, left-back enthusiasts and Liverpool fans with imaginary whistles! Liverpool is putting on their scouting glasses and considering snagging the lively Milos Kerkez. Meanwhile, Andy Robertson, our trusty Scotsman, insists his shin guards have still got years left in them. But, let’s talk numbers that are hotter than a Premier League summer transfer saga!
Kerkez hasn’t been shy about wanting to join the elite club party, and Robertson’s recent Scotland performance against Greece did little to shush whispering leaflets. If Kerkez gets to trade his Bournemouth beach towel for Liverpool’s towel, he might bring a fresh breeze of attack from deep positions. This, while Klopp’s side tinkers with a new playbook, might just fit into Arne Slot’s grand scheme like a newly polished Lego block. So, what does the stat sheet scream in a head-to-head with Robertson?
Our Bournemouth buddy Kerkez, this season, served up a kebab of seven goal involvements and a staggering 74 positive runs, while Robbo is holding onto his defensive playbook with completed passes glistening like an A+ report card. Robertson, the king of possession and passing lines, will be hoping that his experience and ankle-breaking tackles keep the Mersey spotlight on him. But Kerkez is here to make those numbers dance, and if he lands at Anfield, he’ll need to keep those dance shoes polished! Stats by FBref… because numbers never lie, right?
