Liverpool managed to beat Bournemouth 4-2 in their opening game of the Premier League season.

The two sides faced one another on Friday, 15 August, with the Reds having home advantage as the game was played at Anfield.

The build-up to the clash was full of tributes to Diogo Jota and his brother, with Arne Slot’s men managing to deliver a win when it mattered the most.

However, there was one of Liverpool’s new summer signings who didn’t quite live up to Jamie Carragher’s expectations.

Jamie Carragher believes that Milos Kerkez is too “aggressive”

Liverpool have spent well over £200million on trying to improve their ranks this summer.

Indeed, some players such as Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz have instantly hit the ground running, but at the moment, there’s one player who’s sticking out like a sore thumb.

That is, at least according to Carragher, who believes that Milos Kerkez played too “aggressively.”

“He does go flying in, he is really aggressive, you have to temper that sometimes,” he said while live on Sky Sports.

There wasn’t just one moment that Jamie Carragher singled out Milos Kerkez for

Even though Liverpool got off to a slow start, as the game went on, the Reds slowly worked themselves into the game.

However, throughout the entirety of the first half, it felt like Kerkez was on a mission to win every single challenge against his former teammate, Antoine Semenyo.

“You can see this battle going on at the back post, you just see Kerkez and Semenyo, it’s just once he [Semenyo] gets in front of him, he’s just too powerful for Kerkez,” Carragher said.

“He’ll never get the other side of him, he just does enough there to put him off as much as he can without giving a foul away.”

Even though Kerkez was one of Bournemouth’s most important players last term, his first couple of competitive games for Liverpool have been full of mistakes.

Unless the Hungarian can get his act together and keep his head during games, it’s hard to see how the left-back is much of an upgrade on the likes of Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas.

That is, even if he does offer more of an attacking threat than the aforementioned duo.
