The loss to the Red Devils followed similar league losses to Chelsea two weeks ago and Crystal Palace last month.While the loss to Ruben Amorim's would have left a bitter taste, the Reds have the opportunity to end their losing streak today as they take on Eintracht Frankfurt in their third Champions League game of the season.Their last outing in Europe's premier competition ended in a 1-0 defeat to Galatasaray - the same team the Bundesliga side hammered 5-1 in their opening league phase match before losing by that same scoreline against Atletico Madrid.Mirror Football takes a look at all the latest news coming out of Anfield as one Reds great questions Milos Kerkez, the club face a key injury absence and Jamie Carragher offers Slot a solution.READ MORE: Liverpool braced for Premier League contact after breaching rule in Man Utd clashREAD MORE: Arne Slot urged to take action as Liverpool stars 'don't trust' new team-mateSummer signing branded 'untrustworthy'It hasn't been the best start to life at Liverpool for Milos Kerkez as he continues to struggle in the midst of the Reds' terrible run of form. While he's usurped Andy Robertson as the club's first choice left-back, the Hungary international has done little to warrant his continued starting place.In what was another troublesome performance against Manchester United where he struggled to contain Bryan Mbeumo and Amad, former Liverpool great Steve Nicol made the damning claim that Kerkez has not yet gained the trust of his team-mates.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 insisted that Kerkez's performances and impact he's having on the entire team means Slot has no choice but to relegate him to the 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.

Unfortunately for the Reds, Ryan Gravenberch is set to be added to the sidelines after he was forced off with an ankle injury in Sunday's 2-1 home defeat to Manchester United.The 23-year-old midfielder twisted his ankle when he challenged Bryan Mbeumo in the second half, and despite attempts to continue playing, he was eventually brought off after 60 minutes.Ahead of the Reds' Champions League trip to Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday, the Dutchman was absent from open training and will prove to be a costly miss given his importance to Slot's philosophy.Carragher offers solutionAmong the issues plaguing Liverpool right now is Slot's inability to fit Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike into the same starting line-up. 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...
