Don't throw in a revolution.“Because when you do that, not only are you going to change the dynamic in the team, because you're going to drop important players — Trent Alexander-Arnold has gone, you're going to dump Andy Robertson, and Luis Díaz has gone, and you're bringing in Alexander Isak. But this is a massive difference.“People think, ‘Well, is it because they're not playing well, they're not understanding each other?’ It's all those things.

And he's been an absolutely staggeringly good professional throughout, however. But Kerkez will get that job, because he's a good player, but it might take a little while.
