Centre back Ersan Gulum may be the one Liverpool fans and their players are worried about when it comes to the set pieces they are so prone to conceding from – but right back Kurtulus is the best defender Besiktas have.
The Reds have wizards on the wings who can terrorize even the best and most consistent defenders in world football meaning Kurtulus will have his work cut out for him.
If he manages to have a good night and keep the likes of Coutinho, – or even Sterling should the winger swap flanks – quiet, the Reds could have a problem.
