“I KNOW I MADE A TERRIBLE MISTAKE… BUT WHAT ARNE SLOT SAID AFTER THE FINAL WHISTLE BROKE ME” – MILOS KERKEZ FINALLY REVEALS THE SHOCKING WORDS THAT LEFT HIM FUMING AFTER LIVERPOOL’S DEFEAT TO CRYSTAL PALACE
BREAKING NEWS:
Liverpool’s dramatic 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park has taken an even darker twist, as young full-back Milos Kerkez has sensationally revealed the heated exchange he had with manager Arne Slot after the final whistle. The Hungarian defender, who was at the heart of Liverpool’s collapse, admitted he made a costly mistake on the pitch, but insisted the manager crossed the line with his post-match comments.
Kerkez’s revelation has sent shockwaves across Liverpool’s fanbase, especially with the Reds’ unbeaten run now snapped and pressure already starting to mount on Slot after his first real setback since arriving at Anfield.
Speaking candidly, Kerkez confessed:
“I know I made a terrible mistake but what Arne Slot said to me after the final whistle is unacceptable and I can’t take that from him. There are some things you just shouldn’t say to a player—no matter how bad the game went.”
While the left-back didn’t fully disclose the exact words, sources close to the dressing room claim Slot’s frustration boiled over, allegedly questioning Kerkez’s mentality and commitment at a moment when Liverpool had clawed themselves back into the match through Federico Chiesa’s equalizer, only to be stunned by Eddie Nketiah’s late winner.
The defeat not only dented Liverpool’s perfect start to the season, but also highlighted defensive vulnerabilities that Palace ruthlessly exploited. Kerkez, just 21, was targeted by the Eagles’ pace on the flanks, and his error in buildup directly led to Ismaïla Sarr’s opener.
What has stunned fans, however, is not the mistake itself—but the fallout. For a manager known for his calm, methodical approach, Slot’s alleged outburst has drawn mixed reactions:
Some supporters argue Slot was right to hold players accountable in a high-pressure environment.
Others believe blasting a young defender publicly or privately in such terms could shatter confidence and create rifts inside the squad.
Already, Liverpool forums are buzzing with debates: “Did Slot go too far?” and “Should Kerkez have kept this in-house?” Many fear this could be the beginning of cracks in what was seen as a united dressing room.
For Crystal Palace, it was another landmark result in their stunning unbeaten run, but for Liverpool, the story is no longer about the defeat—it’s about a dressing room row that may linger far longer than three lost points.
The spotlight now shifts back to Slot. Will he address Kerkez’s claims publicly, or will Liverpool move quickly to put out the flames before they ignite a full-blown crisis?
One thing is clear: Selhurst Park not only ended Liverpool’s winning streak—it also sparked a storm that could define their season.
