Liverpool full-back Milos Kerkez replied to a Reds fan on social media after impressing against Marseille in the Champions League, when the Hungary international continued his strong recent form.
Signed from Bournemouth for a fee of around $54 million (£40 million) in the summer, Kerkez took some time to adjust to life under Arne Slot but has really come into his own in the last few weeks.
Alongside fellow summer signing Florian Wirtz, he has looked much more comfortable for the last month or so, reaching new levels of performance to help Liverpool along a 13-game unbeaten streak since the Anfield collapse against PSV.

"Accept my apologies, Milos Kerkez," one fan wrote on X/Twitter. "I was way too quick to judge you. I can see now why you were voted the best left back in the Premier League last season."
"It’s ok bro, critics give me even more fuel," Kerkez posted in reply.
Next up for Liverpool is a visit to Kerkez's former club, where he will hope to carry on his good form against the side that gave him his first chance in the Premier League.

That game could be a similar one to the Marseille clash in terms of style. The Reds have struggled when facing deep defenses this season, but there were plenty of gaps to exploit midweek.
"It depends because if you face low blocks, you have the ball a lot, and usually if you have the ball a lot, you could assume you win the game," Arne Slot said.
"That would've been normal for us if you compare the chances we create and the chances we concede, but because of multiple reasons this season we weren't able to.
"If you tell me, it's nicer to approach a game when you watch games of Marseille or [Real] Madrid or Atletico Madrid or the games we've played in the Champions League.

"The teams we've faced do mainly the same as they do in the other games, whereas in the Premier League, it is seven, eight, nine games before we play them in a certain style and then they play us and they completely change their style.
"Then you're standing on the line and just having ball possession and hoping something happens.
"Of course, we train on certain things, and we try to make small details better. As Pep Guardiola said yesterday, dominating the one-v-one is crucial against low blocks."

Liverpool.com says: While it feels like this might be a corner turned for the Reds, the true test will be the next time they face a low block. It probably won't be against Bournemouth, but could be in other upcoming fixtures.
