The defeat to United followed similar league losses to Chelsea a fortnight ago and Crystal Palace last month.Despite the bitter taste left by the loss to Ruben Amorim's side, the Reds have a chance to break their losing streak today as they face Eintracht Frankfurt in their third Champions League match of the season.READ MORE: Liverpool could face Premier League talks after 'breaking rule' in Man Utd defeatREAD MORE: Liverpool star told he was at fault for both goals vs Man Utd - 'He's in no man's land!'Their previous European outing ended in a 1-0 defeat to Galatasaray - the same team the Bundesliga side thrashed 5-1 in their opening league phase match before suffering a similar defeat against Atletico Madrid.With that in mind, the ECHO examines all the latest news from Anfield, as one Reds legend questions Milos Kerkez, the club faces a significant injury absence, and Jamie Carragher suggests a solution for Slot, reports the Mirror.Sky Sports discounted Premier League and EFL packageThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it. Whilst he's displaced Andy Robertson as the club's primary left-back option, the Hungarian has done precious little to justify his regular inclusion in the starting XI.During another problematic display against Manchester United where he failed to cope with Bryan Mbeumo and Amad, ex-Liverpool legend Steve Nicol delivered the scathing assessment that Kerkez has yet to earn the confidence of his colleagues.Speaking on ESPN, he said: "The biggest problem I have, and one of the biggest reasons that I think Kerkez shouldn't start is not just what it's doing to the back-line and particularly Virgil van Dijk, but the rest of the team don't trust Kerkez."Kerkez reacts to it by panicking, and then he goes scared, and then he doesn't want to make a mistake, which is why he keeps turning back and playing an easy ball backwards.

But it's not just Virgil van Dijk – everybody in that team doesn't want to give him a ball."Nicol maintained that Kerkez's displays and the effect he's having on the whole squad means Slot has little alternative but to drop him to the substitutes' bench."That is a horrible position for Kerkez, but it's a position that Arne Slot has to understand is way, way worse for the team than just the fact that Kerkez isn't having a particularly good time," he added."The fact that Kerkez is affecting the whole team, again, is one of the reasons why you have to get him out, get somebody solid in that everybody trusts and knows what they're going to get.Because then they are just playing the ball and not thinking about it. Sadly for the Reds, Ryan Gravenberch is poised to join the treatment room after he was withdrawn with an ankle problem in Sunday's 2-1 home loss to Manchester United.The 23-year-old midfielder rolled his ankle when he tackled Bryan Mbeumo in the second period, and despite trying to carry on, he was ultimately substituted after 60 minutes.Looking ahead to the Reds' Champions League journey to Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday, the Dutchman was missing from open training and will prove to be a damaging absence given his significance to Slot's system.Carragher proposes solution to attacking dilemmaAmongst the problems troubling Liverpool at present is Slot's failure to accommodate Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike into the same starting eleven.The club splashed out £320m on the attacking trio but have yet to begin a match together several months into their Liverpool spell.

He should maybe put himself in the shoes of Carlo Ancelotti, who every summer whether that was at Chelsea, Real Madrid or AC Milan, they would have a big money signing and he'd have to make it work, and he would alter it to suit it."The perfect example is he wins the Champions League a few seasons ago with Karim Benzema as the striker - Ballon d'Or winner. He plays in that left channel, where he plays for Germany, where he played for Leverkusen in that back three system, Ekitike at times there, with Isak playing off him there, and also playing Wirtz there, it could get Kerkez higher up the pitch."So maybe Wirtz comes inside, opens up the space for Kerkez, another signing, maybe (Mohamed) Salah and Frimpong on the that right side...
