Speaking as a pundit for Premier League Productions, Owen didn’t maintain again in his analysis of Kerkez’s efficiency. The former England worldwide expressed deep issues over the Hungarian’s skill to deal with the scrutiny that comes with taking part in for one of the world’s greatest golf equipment.
“I can’t warm to Kerkez, I’m afraid,” Owen remarked throughout the put up-match evaluation. “He looks like a bag of nerves, he looks like he doesn’t want the ball, he looks like he’s an emotional defender. He’s playing like this [shaking] all the time, it’s like, ‘calm down, man’, you’re in possession of the ball a lot of the time, just relax, it’s like he’s in a trance constantly. I liked Kerkez at Bournemouth, but Liverpool is a different kettle of fish. You’ve got to be able to manage pressure, all the eyes are on you, and it just looks like the club is a bit too big for him at the moment.”
