Milos Kerkez has not been at his best since joining Liverpool from Bournemouth this season.After lighting up the left-hand side of the South Coast side, it was expected that once he joined the Reds for £40 million in the summer transfer window, he would bring those special qualities to Merseyside.Instead, he has found it difficult to adjust to a new setup in Arne Slot’s side, with Kerkez playing a much more defensive role than he was used to in his more free-flowing attacking role at Bournemouth.However, the 21-year-old still has time to become embedded in this new way of playing, like many of the summer signings who are still adjusting to a whole new squad.As it is the international break, the Hungarian has joined up with his national side, alongside Liverpool team-mate Dominik Szoboszlai, for their two World Cup qualifiers.Photo by Liverpool FC/Liverpool FC via Getty ImagesMilos Kerkez disappoints the Hungarian fans after his Armenia performanceThe break is always a chance for players, like Kerkez, to return to a team in which they are comfortable, know their position, and can maybe instil some confidence before returning to Premier League action.It has worked out well for some of Liverpool’s stars, including Mohamed Salah and Conor Bradley, with many hoping for the same kind of confidence-building performances from the young left-back.READ MORE: Egyptian media rate Mohamed Salah as Liverpool superstar returns to goal-scoring formHowever, when examining the reaction from national media, it appears to have been far from that.According to Nemzeti Sport, the Hungarian outlet only rated the player a ‘6’ in their usual ratings, as they pointed out that his performance left a lot to be desired for fans in the Puskas Arena.Despite a 2-0 victory, the outlet pointed out that the player is ‘missing’ something, citing his prior performances for Bournemouth as almost non-existent since joining Slot’s side.They wrote: “A good push was followed by a bad pass, in the 18th minute he made a great save in front of the Hungarian goal, in the 30th minute he dribbled badly instead of passing, causing great disappointment to the spectators.“When he started, he often chose the safe solution and passed back, avoiding the risk, the spectators felt many times: the energetic play he saw in the Premier League is missing here, but it seems he would not find his place in Liverpool either. He was more active after the break, fighting for corners.”It is a shame to hear that but considering what the media have said, it does read exactly like a performance from the young star this season.While he may still be struggling for his form, a man in form for the squad in Dominik Szoboszlai, was not exactly at his best.This season, the midfielder has found himself to be very useful in positions across the field, and in the Armenia game, he found himself on the left wing.He did receive the Man of the Match award, but the 24-year-old did not have a glowing write-up, as he received the same rating as his Liverpool teammate but with less harsh criticisms.They wrote: “After his first corner, the ball went to Balázs Tóth, but his attack created a situation, then he was stopped for a yellow card, in the middle of the half he made longer attempts, but these were not accurate.Dominik Szoboszlai and Milos Kerkez both put on great performances as Hungary won 2-0 against Armenia! 🇭🇺 Szoboszlai named Man of the Match! 👏 pic.twitter.com/dQYCbuIC6C— Anything Liverpool (@AnythingLFC_) October 11, 2025 View Tweet “In the 38th minute, he came alone in front of the goal, he aimed for the short corner with his left, but he hit the ball badly, at his level it was a huge shot, he should have scored a goal from this.“He started the second half with a shot, Willi Orbán could have headed a goal after his free kick, he saved after one of the Armenian corners.”Maybe not what fans want to hear from both their stars on international duty, for Szoboszlai, this seems more like a blip, whereas Kerkez seems to be struggling generally with his form this season.
