Liverpool player who lost 22% of his passes among team’s three losers vs West Ham
Arne Slot will still have doubts about the form of three stars despite Liverpool’s crucial victory against West Ham.
Slot is under pressure at Liverpool due to the poor form which has persisted at the club over the past couple of months.
Liverpool were beaten 4-1 by PSV in midweek, but goals from Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo were enough for the Reds to claim all three points at the London Stadium.
Below are three Liverpool players who still need to prove themselves despite the win at West Ham.
Dominik Szoboszlai
Dominik Szoboszlai was ineffective in the number 10 role, with the midfielder not creating chances any chances for his teammates.
The Hungarian also did not attempt a shot himself, and was quiet in a game where Liverpool dominated possession for large parts.
If Szoboszlai’s position going forwards is an attacking role, then the 25-year-old must be more of an attacking threat for the team.
Ibrahima Koante
Ibrahima Konate may not have had lots of defensive work to endure, as West Ham failed to register a shot on target, but the Frenchman still looked uncomfortable on a couple of occasions.
The 26-year-old won just one ground duel, and committed two fouls, and a lack of defensive options means he is unlikely to be dropped.
Konate’s future is still yet to be resolved at Liverpool, and that situation may be having an effect on his performances.
Milos Kerkez
Milos Kerkez has been criticised for his displays at Liverpool this season, and the 22-year-old once again struggled against West Ham.
| Minutes Played | 85 |
| Accurate Passes % | 78% |
| Accurate Crosses % | 0% |
| Aerial Duels Won % | 67% |
| Ground Duels Won % | 33% |
| Fouls Committed | 2 |
The Hammers did not utilise the threat of Jarrod Bowen enough down their right flank, as the England international had the beating of his full-back.
There will still be questions raised over whether Andy Robertson should still be Liverpool’s left-back.
