Alexander-Arnold
Trent Alexander-Arnold A great game for this special talent. His attacking play is undeniable, with two brilliant deliveries nearly seeing both his giant centre-backs score in the first half. Showed guile and control throughout on the ball, and was a constant threat in possession. His defensive ability can no longer be in doubt. Great coverage, […]
Liverpool are through to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League after beating Inter Milan 2-1 on aggregate. Lautaro Martinez ripped one beyond Alisson just after the hour but Inter had the wind in their sails for all of two minutes before Alexis Sanchez picked up a second yellow. The reigning Serie A champions retreated, […]
Caoimhin Kelleher – 7.0 A good first half, with lots of possession against Arsenals press. Solid composure under pressure, and another good outing. Trent Alexander Arnold – 9.0 A great moment for the opening goal, and the playmaker is looking imperious on the ball. Gave good solidity at the back, and tracked runners well. Kept […]
Alisson Becker – 7.0 Could do little for the goal, if unsighted. Looked angry, and seemed more vocal with Virgil not directing traffic. Trent Alexander Arnold – 8.5 What a goal. A tough game to really expose Newcastle, but his quality was assured throughout. A goal saving challenge to cement a great game at both […]
The position of fullback has perhaps seen the biggest evolution over the last few decades, especially at Anfield. The current versions are an attacking force of nature, with Andy Robertson’s endeavour and willing a delight to behold. On the opposite flank, Trent Alexander Arnold has become an absolute revelation, and sits firmly as the world’s […]
Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman, Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Trent Alexander Arnold all graduated through the Liverpool academy. The success of each is part of the clubs illustrious history, and it is always a joy to see homegrown talent succeed as Liverpool players. Within any historical football club, there are times when talent […]
Alisson Becker – 7.5 Mistakes will come now and again, but the world’s best stopper showed a commanding presence in a routine display. Trent Alexander Arnold – 9.5 Sensational. The teams primary playmaker is transcending the fullback position. Any manager in world football (club football anyway) would have this man over any other, and his […]
Andy Robertson’s place in Liverpool’s starting line-up is under intense scrutiny. Over the past few weeks, maybe even the past couple of months, the calls for Kostas Tsimikas to replace him have grown progressively louder. Before the season began, I’d argue that the only position up for debate in Liverpool’s strongest XI was centre-forward, but […]
Alisson Becker – 7.0 I hope he enjoyed the show. The disallowed goal was one of his few moments in a quiet game. Trent Alexander Arnold – 9.5 The best right back in world football continues to show his amazing talent and outrageous delivery. Two assists and a brilliant setting of game tempo in the […]
I recently watched the remake of the Magnificent Seven, a modern take of the original classic. The film revolves around impossibly unrealistic scenarios, a suicide squad of unlikely heroes, with a battle to overcome the odds and succeed. The plot of the film is ridiculous, how the movie then plays out absurd, but the idea […]
