The question is… Has Ozan Kabak done enough for a Liverpool stay?

The Reds have endured a rough start to 2021, and just labelling it as rough could be a major understatement.

They have played 20 games since the year turned a new age – and Kabak has played 10 of the 20 games so far.

Since February, when the Turk made his first appearance in Liverpool red against Leicester City, there have been 11 games.

He’s only missed one game of the 11 played and that was their home loss to Fulham at the start of March. It can safely be mentioned, his absence during the 90 minutes was felt already.

With him starting all 10 of the games he’s played, they’ve lost less than what they’ve won – winning six and losing four. This does show a slight improvement.

Even if you were to take Saturday’s victory into consideration, you’d see he is playing with a lot more confidence. – more than what he did over in Germany.
