"He is still so young and is getting used to being a Liverpool player, it is a lot more than kicking a ball on the pitch, especially when the team has been inconsistent it's not easy to play your best games. But with the help of Robbo [Andy Robertson] and the rest of the team and his own development I think he is making big progress."
"What I see is there is a lot to come for him to learn and improve but that's a good thing. He just has to keep going. He has a lot of energy. He is young. When we were young we were always full of energy! He is eager to learn."
"Of course I had chats [earlier in the season] because on the pitch we need each other, whether it is positioning or even [against Brighton] he presses as a full-back and I have to cover. It's a collaboration that you obviously have to understand each other and me and Robbo had that for so many years and you still see that in our game. That is something that has to develop over games. Conversations are happening 100% behind the scenes and in games, like with the rest of the team, to try to be the best team and players on the pitch."
Milos Kerkez joined Liverpool for £40 million from AFC Bournemouth and struggled early in his Anfield career. Recent months have shown marked improvement, with a standout showing in Liverpool's FA Cup win over Brighton. Teammates such as Andy Robertson and internal on-pitch communication have supported Kerkez's adaptation and positional understanding. Kerkez brings high energy and an eagerness to learn, with coaches and colleagues guiding his development. Mohamed Salah scored and assisted in the same match, producing a strong performance after a spell of inconsistent form this season.
