In that time, he’s won every trophy available at Liverpool and recorded over 60 assists from RB.

He said: "He gives you attacking options and quality going forward. But when you play in elite tournaments, you're going to play against sides that have similar players, who have the ability to get at you. And all of a sudden, Trent Alexander-Arnold's strengths are one thing, but his weaknesses become the thing you've got to contend with." He continued: "Now leaving him out of the squad, I don't understand the logic of it. I don't understand the methodology he's trying to deploy. I do understand why he doesn't get in the side at times." He added: "I do understand that when you put him in against top-class opposition that are going to ask as many questions of you, as you’ll ask of them, then suddenly he’s becomes a weaker link. You should be able to defend, you should be able to see danger, you should be able to be aware of circumstances, you should be alive to it." Alexander-Arnold has recently come under fire for his poor defensive displays for Liverpool. He has scored two goals in nine appearances across all competitions in the ongoing 2022-23 season. However, he has often been caught lacking defensively as Liverpool have had a poor start to the season. The Reds are eighth in the league table with just two wins from eight games, and were thrashed 4-1 by Napoli in their first Champions League group match.

By Debkalpa Banerjee Modified 26 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Gareth Southgate has a plethora of right-backs to choose from. Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan has slammed England head coach Gareth Southgate's decision to drop Trent Alexander-Arnold from his squad for the upcoming clash against Germany. The Three Lions take on Die Mannschaft on September 26 in their UEFA Nations League clash. Alexander-Arnold, 23, has recently fallen out of favor with Southgate with Reece James, Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier all currently ahead of him in the pecking order. The Liverpool right-back has only played 17 times for the Three Lions since his debut in June 2018. Alexander-Arnold, a world-class crosser and set-piece specialist, was not included in England's squad for their final UEFA Nations League A Group 3 fixture on Monday. Fikayo Tomori, Jarrod Bowen and James Ward-Prowse have also missed out on a spot in the squad.
