It’s hard to come to any other conclusion beyond the increasingly clear reality that Gareth Southgate is simply not a fan of Trent Alexander-Arnold (perhaps due to a lack of understanding of what he offers).
Speaking about his selections for the England squad, the Three Lions manager admitted that performances at club level would influence his decision-making ahead of the Qatar World Cup.
That’s perfectly reasonable on its own, and on that basis our No.66 shouldn’t necessarily be at the top of the heap, though it begs the question why his latest stellar campaigns were apparently not taken into account.
Helping Liverpool win the Premier League, the Champions League, the FA Cup, the League Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the FIFA Club World Cup, all while completely revolutionizing the full-back position, we cannot understand what else the 23-year-old could have done. help his selection chances for England.
