Liverpool supporters could be about to see a completely different version of Milos Kerkez under new manager Andoni Iraola.
While the Hungarian international has already shown flashes of quality since arriving at Anfield, many believe his best football is still to come—especially under a coach renowned for getting the very best out of attack-minded full-backs.
👀 Tactical analysis has highlighted the contrast between Kerkez’s previous responsibilities and the role he could now be asked to play under Iraola.
The biggest difference?
🔥 Freedom.
Rather than simply providing defensive stability, Kerkez is expected to play with far greater attacking intent, constantly pushing forward to stretch opposition defenses and create overloads down the left flank.
⚡ Under Iraola’s tactical philosophy, full-backs are encouraged to become genuine attacking outlets.
That means:
✅ More overlapping runs.
✅ More progressive carries.
✅ More dangerous deliveries into the box.
✅ More involvement in the final third.
For a player with Kerkez’s pace, stamina, and attacking instincts, that could be the perfect environment to thrive.
💨 One of his greatest strengths has always been his willingness to drive forward with the ball.
He isn’t afraid to take on defenders, attack open space, or support the frontline with relentless energy.
Those qualities fit naturally into Iraola’s high-tempo, aggressive style of football.
🎯 If Kerkez is given greater attacking freedom, Liverpool could gain another creative outlet capable of stretching defenses and supplying quality service to the forwards.
Imagine him bombing down the left wing while linking up with Florian Wirtz and delivering crosses for Alexander Isak.
It’s the kind of attacking combination that could cause serious problems for Premier League defenses.
😳 Of course, greater attacking responsibility also means maintaining the right balance defensively.
Iraola’s teams demand relentless work rate, with full-backs expected to contribute at both ends of the pitch.
Fortunately, Kerkez has already shown he possesses the energy and commitment to handle those demands.
🔥 Liverpool fans have every reason to be excited about what lies ahead.
With the right tactical setup, Kerkez could evolve from a reliable left-back into one of the league’s most dangerous attacking defenders.
His pace, aggression, and willingness to get forward make him an ideal fit for the fast, fearless football Iraola is expected to bring to Anfield.
🔴 A new manager.
⚡ A more adventurous role.
💥 A chance to unlock Kerkez’s full potential.
If everything clicks, Liverpool may have an attacking weapon on the left flank that opponents will struggle to contain all season.
👇 Reds, are you excited to see how Andoni Iraola uses Milos Kerkez this season?
✅ Yes — unleash him!
❌ No — keep him in a more traditional defensive role.
