Speaking on The Gary Neville Podcast<\/em>, after the Reds’ loss at Stamford Bridge, Neville said: “The boy Kerkez, to be honest with you, at this point in time, he looks like a youth-team player. I know he\u2019s a good player, but he looks like he\u2019s playing for the youth team, or the Under-21s. He looks so na\u00efve; he looks like a baby out there. He\u2019s losing 50-50s with Neto! He\u2019s had Premier League experience; it\u2019s not like he\u2019s come in from another country. \u00a0<\/p>\n “He\u2019s got a lot of games under his belt, he\u2019s played at these grounds before, so I expected him to slot in. One, he\u2019s playing alongside Virgil Van Dijk, the best centre half in the world, so if you want to play in a back four, you want to play with great defenders and he is doing. And he\u2019s got players who work hard on that side, it\u2019s not like he\u2019s playing on the right with Salah in front of him, which is always a bit more difficult because you always get a little bit more exposed. But I have to say from the first ten minutes of that game against Bournemouth on the first game of the season, he\u2019s struggled.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
