'He isn’t one': Jamie Carragher reveals Liverpool star that needs to be sold after two games | OneFootball

Jamie Carragher isn't a fan of Frimpong or Kerkez

Jamie Carragher says Liverpool made a big mistake in the summer transfer window by not signing cover in the full-back areas.

Liverpool have conceded four goals in their opening two Premier League games of the new season, with Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong both coming in for criticism from supporters.

Carragher has waded in on the debate, saying both full-backs’ understanding of the game is “really, really poor” before singling out the Hungary international with a Darwin Nunez comparison.

Speaking on the latest episode of Stick to Football, Carragher said: “You're watching the game and thinking, 'Why has he done that?’

"I described Kerkez last season - and it was his first season, maybe it was a bit harsh at the time - he's the Darwin Nunez of full-backs.

“It's just like 'head down and run', everything Kerkez does is 100 miles an hour."

“You know, when you're on a football pitch, you're very rarely running as fast as you can but he does everything 100 miles an hour - every time he closes someone down, he passes it - bang!

“They've brought in Kerkez for £40million. He's had his first season, it wasn't amazing, but right, you go: 'OK, Iraola's come in from Bournemouth, he knows him, he's still our left-back.

“He's our left-back, let him have another year."

Carragher also believes Liverpool need to sign a new right-back as he is not convinced Conor Bradley - currently sidelined with a knee injury - is the ideal replacement for Frimpong.

“Unfortunately I don’t think we should be waiting for Conor Bradley to come back. You go and buy a right-back because Frimpong isn’t one,” the former Reds defender added.

“He had a terrible first season but then I thought he needs to adapt to the Premier League first.

“But after watching this season's first two matches, Liverpool needs to sell him and bring in a new right back."
