Trent Alexander-Arnold's Defensive Deficits
I feel like the thing that people miss from the Trent debate most of the time is when they've talked about his like defensive deficiencies. And he was a perfect fit for how Liverpool played and not every right back plays the same way. If he moves to team ever, we could then realise that so much of the problems that we attribute to him are actually problems with the way Liverpool approach. There's no one who defends as aggressively as Liverpool. I think in a different system where you're not necessarily defending so aggressively, he does not do bad. But there was always a very clear reason why he didn't play for England. And I thought that was like kind of obvious.
