Gary Neville is suggesting that Arne Slot should bench the player signed from Liverpool.

According to former Manchester United player and Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville, Liverpool's recent signing, Milos Kerkez, has been struggling and should be given a break from the team by manager Arne Slot. Kerkez, who joined Liverpool from Bournemouth for a record-breaking fee of £40 million, has failed to live up to the high expectations placed on him and has looked defensively vulnerable in his first few months at Anfield. Despite scoring a goal in their recent loss to Brentford, Kerkez's overall performance has been a cause for concern.

Neville believes that Kerkez's struggles are just one example of the issues facing Liverpool's defense. With key players like Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker out due to injury, the team has been struggling to find a solid backline. Neville also points out that the recent loss to Brentford could have easily been avoided if Liverpool had taken their chances in front of goal.

With games coming thick and fast for the Reds, including a match against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup, Slot will have to make some tough decisions regarding his starting lineup. Neville suggests that he may need to interfere and make changes to the defense, as simply relying on the same players will not bring about a change in their fortunes.

Neville draws a comparison to his own experience at Manchester United, where they also went through periods of conceding goals. In order to address the issue, their manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, would make changes to the backline, even playing four center-backs if necessary, to create a more solid defense. Neville suggests that Slot may need to do something similar and go back to basics in order to find a strong foundation to build from.

Despite their struggles, Neville still has faith in Slot and his abilities as a manager. However, he believes that it is time for him to simplify and pull back in order to address the chaotic and mad situation that Liverpool currently find themselves in. This could involve playing more direct football and relying on their star attackers, such as Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, to win them games.

In contrast, Arsenal, who currently sit at the top of the Premier League table, have been impressing Neville with their performances. He believes that the title is now theirs to win, and that they don't need to do anything spectacular to secure it. With a four-point lead over Bournemouth, Neville feels that the title is within Arsenal's grasp and that the fans can feel it too. He urges them to embrace this moment and believes that this could be the season that sees Arsenal return to the top.

Neville's confidence in Arsenal is not meant to apply pressure or be overconfident, but rather reflects the belief that this is their time to shine. As for Liverpool, Neville believes that they need to make changes in order to turn their fortunes around and compete for the title once again.
