With Liverpool winning back-to-back Premier League games for the first time since September, Milos Kerkez‘s new bond with Florian Wirtz has been key to their success. Gakpo’s lack of understanding with Kerkez had been much-discussed as Liverpool struggled in recent months, and the left-back’s comments to BBC Radio Merseyside after the victory in north London were particularly interesting.

What Milos Kerkez said about Florian Wirtz connection “I would say the last few weeks I’ve been better because of [having] more time and we’re gelling and knowing each other more,” he said of his own improvement in form. “I think at the moment it’s a good connection between me and Flo.

We’re playing good and I hope it keeps going.” Asked on his partnership with Wirtz, Kerkez added: “I have to do what the boss tells me to do. “It’s getting better so I’m happy about it.” While Gakpo’s tendency to cut onto his right and shoot has worked for the Dutchman throughout his career it has become a frustrating feature of Liverpool’s game as they face low blocks.
