It s a mental approach and someone needs to sit him down - Glenn Hoddle says Liverpool superstar s game should be reassessed
By Matthew Guyett Modified 23 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Hoddle thinks Alexander-Arnold needs to reassess his game Tottenham Hotspur legend Glenn Hoddle has claimed that Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold's game needs to be reassessed following a disappointing start to the season. The Liverpool full-back has come in for criticism for several poor performances in Jurgen Klopp's backline. Alexander-Arnold's defensive capabilities have been scrutinized and Hoddle believes he needs to sit down and be asked to prove his credentials. He told the Seaman Says Podcast (via HITC): “I saw him very young when they played Man City in the league and I thought he would be tested defensively. He was up against Sane and he was at his best there at City, he hadn’t fallen out with people at City at that point, and he was at it. He had him in his pocket and I thought this kid can defend as well as attack." He continued, "What’s happened is that mentally, I’m from the outside looking in, but 80 per cent of his head is attacking not defensive, but I’ve seen him defend properly, and he has to get back to that again." The Liverpool defender had a monumental 2021-22 campaign from an attacking perspective with 19 assists and two goals in 47 appearances. Hoddle alludes to this, saying: “He’s absolutely sensational, he’s more than a full-back, he’s a winger, and he can also pop up as a midfield player. It’s a mental approach and someone needs to sit him down and say look I need you to prove to yourself you can defend, and then he’ll be back to himself. It’s about reassessing.” Anfield Watch@AnfieldWatchDanny Murphy:“Trent Alexander-Arnold dropped below his usual high standards against Manchester United and Napoli and faces a challenge to be picked for the World Cup.
