Gary Neville remains a huge fan of Trent Alexander-Arnold, but he couldn’t help but point out a few areas where he feels the Liverpool star is failing defensively.
In complete fairness to our number 66, Jurgen Klopp has already admitted that part of his instructions to the right-back is to encourage him to come onto the pitch to support our creative efforts.
Having said that, we have certainly noted a number of occasions this term, most notably against Manchester United and Napoli, where the Academy graduate was far enough back when we were out of possession to have made an impact by properly tracking down a running back.
