Roy Keane has been critical of Liverpool's performance in their recent 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at Anfield. During the match, Keane expressed disappointment with the team's defensive strategy, particularly focusing on Virgil van Dijk and newcomer Milos Kerkez. Keane noted that Van Dijk's positioning was "poor" during the game, while Kerkez struggled against Manchester United's attack, looking like a "nervous wreck" on the field. Virgil van Dijk, one of Liverpool's key defenders, faced criticism from multiple pundits. Jamie Redknapp pointed out that Van Dijk made critical mistakes, emphasizing that he should have sprinted back to prevent a key run by an opponent. Van Dijk's positioning was also questioned by Neville, who suggested that Van Dijk has been struggling, whereas his counterpart Ibrahima Konate has been performing well. In contrast to Van Dijk's challenges, Konate received positive feedback for his performance. Neville praised Konate as Liverpool's best defender in the game, highlighting it as one of his best outings in a long time. Despite the team's overall poor performance, Konate's solid display was a highlight for Liverpool. After the defeat, Van Dijk reflected on the team's overall strategy, stating that Liverpool were "far too rushed" in their decision-making. This factor contributed significantly to their loss, as they failed to capitalize on opportunities and made critical errors. The defeat has sparked discussions about Liverpool's tactics and player performance, with particular scrutiny on Van Dijk and Kerkez.
