Former Liverpool star Stan Collymore has weighed in on concerns surrounding two of the club’s summer signings, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez. Collymore believes that Liverpool supporters shouldn’t worry about the defensive performance of these new signings.

Key Points from Collymore’s Response

– Frimpong and Kerkez’s Attacking Style: Collymore thinks that Frimpong and Kerkez’s attacking style will benefit the team, bringing entertainment and goal-scoring opportunities. He notes that their approach aligns with Liverpool’s ethos of creating and scoring goals.

– Comparison to Robertson and Alexander-Arnold: Collymore draws a comparison between the new signings and the former Liverpool full-backs, Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold, during their prime years. He suggests that Frimpong and Kerkez are similar in terms of their quality and potential impact on the team.

– Virgil van Dijk’s Age: Collymore mentions that Virgil van Dijk is getting older and that the player standing next to him as a central defender isn’t quite at the same level. However, he believes that Frimpong and Kerkez will make up for any defensive shortcomings with their attacking prowess.

Liverpool’s Defensive Performance

– Concerns about Defensive Vulnerability: The Reds have conceded two goals in each of their opening two games of the season, against Crystal Palace and Bournemouth. However, Collymore attributes this to the team’s high-intensity pressing style under Arne Slot, which may take some time to settle in.

– Slot’s Tactical Approach: Collymore thinks that Slot’s approach will ultimately benefit the team, creating more scoring opportunities than defensive problems ¹.
