Despite being part of England’s World Cup squad, Trent Alexander-Arnold has yet to get a single minute of football from Gareth Southgate and that has upset Gary Neville.
Speaking on ITV, the former right-back said: “We have a couple of talents sitting on the bench in Trent Alexander-Arnold and Foden who, to be fair, in terms of opening up a game: Trent Alexander-Arnold’s got some of the best deliveries you’ve never seen from a full-back… to be fair, those two not coming off the bench was a bit disappointing.”

Host Mark Pougatch went on to say that it was our number 66’s defensive weaknesses that prevented him from taking the field, something that’s becoming such a weak argument right now.
That Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola trust Alexander-Arnold and Phil Foden every week, but the England manager can’t do it, says a lot about the gap in coaching quality in this discussion.
