Milos Kerkez faces scrutiny from Jamie Carragher as Liverpool twice let their lead slip in the Community Shield, ultimately losing to Crystal Palace on penalties following a 2-2 draw.

Despite goals from newcomers Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong and a sterling display by Florian Wirtz, Arne Slot's side showed defensive frailties.

Today Kerkez is getting dragged inside with Sarr leaving Gakpo chasing WB."

Ex-Red Steve McManaman also criticised the left-back's positioning on TNT Sports, noting: "It was Kerkez playing everybody onside," regarding the first goal by Palace.

"Everybody stepped forward and the left-back was stepping backwards.

"That gave Palace the opportunity – and Palace were exploiting it a lot of the time.

Despite pulling off a key block later on, his forward-thinking approach often left gaps for Daniel Munoz and Sarr to exploit, leading McManaman to suggest Slot has work to do.

"I think the two goals today – not taking anything away from Crystal Palace – but if we're talking about Liverpool's defensive issues, they were defensive mistakes," he continued.

"There are things to work on and they will get better the more they get used to playing with each other as they are new players in a new system.

"We conceded two goals [today] which we [also] did against [Athletic Bilbao in pre-season]," he said to TNT Sports.

I don't think we conceded a lot today but too much to win the game."
