"That made sense on paper (and can still absolutely work Poots); Milos Kerkez is at his best as a rampaging left-back but too often he was isolated on the flanks. Even during his good form we saw the drawbacks of limiting his involvement e.g. Vs Leeds at Anfield"

"44.1% of Kerkezs passes against Newcastle last weekend came in their half of the pitch including 52.6% of his passes in the second half. Just 27.6% of his passes were made in the oppositions half against Bournemouth in August 2025"

"Midfielders like Curtis Jones and Alexis Mac Allister have often dropped into the backline to fill in for Kerkez before moving back into central zones later in play. Maybe that's dangerous on transition but it's certainly better for buildup"

"Better buildup structure in early phases = better able to get to the middle and final thirds. More passers in deeper areas = more likely that Wirtz will receive the ball. Szobo is an excellent passer and it should be noted that he played at RB on Saturday"
