Jamie Carrager hit Milos Kerquez on Sunday in Liverpool’s “silly” dive against Burnley at Turf Moor as Roy Keane agreed to Arne Slot’s brutal reaction.
Kerquez was signed from Bournemouth for £40 million this summer, bringing the Liverpool career up.
He was one of the standouts in a 1-0 victory at Arsenal, but occasionally exhibited suspicious defenses.

And the 21-year-old felt embarrassed himself against Burnley and, after a small contact from Josh Laurent, descended into the box to score a penalty.
Karager was not impressed. He claimed he was “absolutely stupid.” The Hungarian had the opportunity to pull the ball across the goal of Burnley, but instead chose to go to the ground.
“It was diving, there’s absolutely no doubt about that,” Karager said on Sky Sports. “I don’t think anyone in the stadium thinks it isn’t like that.
“It was very theatrical. I mean, it’s absolutely stupid. I really don’t think there’s any contact details.
“He’s in a good position. I think he’s probably able to swing his legs around it and crucify him. He’s in a really good position.

Judge Michael Oliver was not hesitant to show Kerkez the yellow card. After a fullback he committed a foul at the half line but escaped a second booking and Slot took the brutal step of stomping him off in favor of Andy Robertson before halftime.
And when Slot grabbed Kerkes as he was walking off the pitch, Karager claimed he had hooked him 37 minutes later.
Carragher commented: “I think it’s really good management for Arne Slot. What he did in the first half was absolutely ridiculous, with a yellow card and a penalty. And he has a foul at the half line.
“This game is about counter attacks if something happens when you catch 1v1 and it turns off with the second yellow.”
Roy Keane was perfectly in line with the slot decision after Kerkez’s “Crazy Dive.”
He said at Sky Sports Studio:
“Why is he about to descend? (Ironically) he made the impression! The second is a foul, and I don’t know if it’s the second yellow, but the manager was worried.”
