Liverpool have had a poor start to the campaign and the scapegoat for the patch of form has been Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The Reds are currently eighth in the Premier League, having won just two of their first six games, while also winning one and losing one in the Champions League.
Alexander-Arnold’s form has lived up to this poor early part of the campaign, as the right-back has performed below his usual high standards, drawing much criticism from fans and pundits alike.
The 23-year-old has been to blame for a number of goals conceded by Liverpool this season, with goals against Manchester United and Napoli being the most under scrutiny, as the Liverpool star was seen walking in preparation for the goal. of the opposition.
Speaking about the start of the Liverpool right-back’s campaign, World Cup winner Frank Leboeuf called Alexander-Arnold’s defence, calling it “championship level”.

What has Leboeuf said about Trent Alexander-Arnold?
In an interview with the French newspaper Journal du Dimanche, Leboeuf said of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s defense: “Look at Trent Alexander-Arnold. I love the guy, the offensive qualities of him. But defensively, he’s at the championship level.
“Only [Jurgen] Klopp’s system works for him. When he doesn’t perform as well as he has this season, all you see is his defensive shortcomings.
“I want to take it with me to work on the basics. I told him: ‘Turn your head and look back, it’ll be better’”.
Although Leboeuf admits that he likes the Liverpool star, his comments are highly disrespectful. The 23-year-old’s defensive skills are certainly better than championship level, but it seems to be a current trend to criticize the 23-year-old.
There are many players in the Liverpool squad who are currently underperforming, therefore it is unfair to pick just one.
