With the third international break of the season now underway, Arne Slot is once again under significant pressure to pull the Reds out of their slump in what has been a lacklustre title defence.READ MORE: Arne Slot given clear message over Liverpool future as slump sparks major concernREAD MORE: Wayne Rooney delivers Hill Dickinson Stadium verdict as Everton 'worry' avoidedWe examine the latest news from Anfield, as the Dutch manager faces criticism for seemingly lacking trust in one of his summer signings, while one Reds star previously thought his future was elsewhere.Milos Kerkez decisionThe first few months have been challenging for most of Liverpool's summer signings, with Milos Kerkez notably struggling to adjust to life at Anfield. Despite being one of the Premier League's top full-backs last season at Bournemouth, the Hungarian has failed to replicate the form that persuaded the Reds to part with £40million for his services.The 22-year-old began the season as Slot's first-choice left-back over Andy Robertson, but the veteran Scot has reclaimed his position and has started the previous three fixtures across all competitions.His demotion to the substitutes' bench has left Chris Sutton convinced that he has fallen out of favour with the manager.

Speaking on the BBC's Monday Night Club podcast, the former Chelsea striker said: "Arne Slot hung his hat on Kerkez at the start of the season, Robertson was out in the cold and, all of a sudden, I think he has lost faith in Kerkez."Conor Bradley admissionFollowing what was an inconsistent start to the campaign for Conor Bradley, the Northern Irishman has rediscovered his best form recently with commanding displays against Aston Villa and Real Madrid. It was during the 2023/24 season that he enjoyed his breakthrough, but before that, he had genuine concerns about his Anfield future during his loan spell at Bolton Wanderers.Speaking last year, he said: "They told me that they wouldn't forget about me when I was out on loan.

You think, 'A loan, that's sort of me done here.' But you have to keep working hard."I played around 50 games for Bolton, and it was the best thing for me at that time. It got me ready for coming back at Liverpool and giving it my best shot."Despite having a challenging night at the Etihad Stadium, facing off against Jeremy Doku, Bradley earned praise in his battle against the skilled Belgian.
