Wark backs Scherpen despite criticism
Ipswich Town legend John Wark has backed goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen to keep his place against Crystal Palace despite a difficult start in the defeat by Liverpool. Scherpen was arguably at fault for both of Liverpool's opening goals as Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak combined to put the Reds 2-0 ahead inside the opening nine minutes.
Ipswich Town legend John Wark has defended goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen despite a poor start in their recent defeat by Liverpool. Scherpen was primarily blamed for both of Liverpool's opening goals, which saw Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak score within the first nine minutes. However, Wark, who spoke on BBC Radio Suffolk, believes Scherpen improved throughout the match and suggested it would be surprising if he lost his place for their upcoming game against Crystal Palace.
Wark emphasized that the goals conceded were disappointing and that the entire team, not just the goalkeeper, should be held accountable for the poor performance.
