Former Liverpool player Steve Nicol believes Milos Kerkez was the main culprit for Crystal Palace's winning goal at Selhurst Park on Saturday. Slot lamented one of his players after the game for being "too offensively minded" in the moments leading up to Nketiah's goal, but did not identify the player he was referring to.

“One player was too offensively minded in that moment, which led to them scoring the winner and us losing the game.” While it is not clear who Slot was referring to, former Reds star Nicol interpreted the Dutchman's comments as a dig at Jeremie Frimpong. Nicol, though, thinks Kerkez was the problem because of a shaky clearance he made in the buildup to Nketiah's clincher.

"It isn’t Frimpong trying to go forward because I guarantee you he was told to go forward at every chance he can. "So he’s hyped up to go forward and he does get back, but the problem was Kerkez, that’s where if he’s pointing a finger, that’s who it should be at."Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.
