Jamie O’Hara slammed Trent Alexander-Arnold as a major weak link in Liverpool’s defence, saying he is only League One standard defensively, even if he has Champions League quality going forward.
The England international has really regressed this season and appears to be affecting Liverpool’s results and performances, and O’Hara hopes the managers will now tell their attacking players to target him on that right side.
Gabriel Martinelli no doubt had a lot of fun against him for Arsenal yesterday as they beat Liverpool 3-2 at the Emirates Stadium, with O’Hara telling talkSPORT that Alexander-Arnold and LFC in general looked like a mess at the back…
? “Trent AA is a League 1 defender, but he will stay in the Champions League!”
? “Teams know they can go on Trent AA. Get the ball out to the left and go 1v1 with it!”
? “Trent is all over the place!” @MrJamieOHara1 thinks #LFC’s Trent Alexander-Arnold is a League 1 defender… pic.twitter.com/lDPHrk2N7n

Laura Woods disagreed with O’Hara calling Alexander-Arnold League One defensively standard, but the former Tottenham midfielder didn’t back down from that big claim.
Liverpool are certainly in trouble at the moment, and could do with big names like Alexander-Arnold and others like Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah getting back to their best as soon as possible.
