Former Liverpool full-back Glen Johnson has been left unimpressed by Arne Slot's options in that position so far this season, with Milos Kerkez among those to draw criticism for his performances up to now. "Kerkez has come in: he's had some great games and then some, where he looks like he's trying to get sent off." On Wednesday, Kerkez played the full 90 minutes against Crystal Palace in the League Cup, while Robertson was withdrawn in the second half.

"Conor Bradley, last year with Trent leaving, I thought there's no drama because Conor will bounce on and fill those shoes and take that role, and he hasn't," Johnson said. There's a reason why we couldn't name the number one left-back or number one right-back.

"I don't know if I said it over here but [in] the first half-hour, I think we had better chances than them, actually, and he was part of that. In time, he will get used to the demands placed on him, and we saw last season how talented he is.
