The Reds signed the Hungarian in a £40m deal from AFC Bournemouth in the summer, with the new arrival starting the season as first-choice under Arne Slot.The 21-year-old usurped the long-serving Robertson's place in the Liverpool starting XI as a result, and has made the joint-most appearances for the Reds so far this season after featuring in 15 of their 17 matches to date.But despite starting on 12 occasions, Kerkez has ultimately struggled for form since signing for Liverpool and found himself benched for the Reds’ victories over Aston Villa and Real Madrid as Robertson was restored to Slot’s starting XI.READ MORE: Florian Wirtz has a big problem at Liverpool - He's done if he doesn't now do one thingREAD MORE: I twice rejected Real Madrid after leaving Liverpool - It wasn't right for meThe Scotland international now looks set to retain his place for the trip to Man City on Sunday, having helped Liverpool return to winning ways with impressive displays in their last two outings.Snodgrass and Robertson were team-mates at Hull City for two and a half seasons, having both joined the Tigers in the summer of 2014, while they were also Scotland colleagues for a number of years prior to the midfielder’s international retirement in 2019.And having worked closely with Robertson for club and country, Snodgrass believes his old team-mate will be doing all he can to help Kerkez find form at Liverpool - despite the impact it would have on his own starting opportunities."I think the big thing Liverpool need to do is stick together.
