He needs a while to adapt, but there is no doubt that he has quality that thrives at the highest level. Liverpool signed him as a long-term alternative to Andrew Robertson. The Scottish International is regressing in recent seasons and they need to replace him. It will be interesting to see if Kerquez can overcome an inconsistent start to the season and establish himself as a player on the team this season.<\/p>\n<p>For now, he has to compete with Robertson for the starting spot. The defender is clearly talented to play for the world&#8217;s biggest club, but he needs to work on his temperament and decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>The player is young enough to improve even further, and he has plenty of time to fulfill his potential. He is a long-term investment in Liverpool and they will be patient with him.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool&#8217;s Virgil van Dyke celebrates his victory after a Premier League match against Burnley.
