Is There a Place For Trent At The Leadership Table?

Dave Hendrick: If Klopp wants to stick with this shape, he might need a new left back

Over the last couple of games, we have seen quite a significant change in the shape Liverpool are taking up when in possession and it has led to some unusually high possession numbers for the Reds.

Tony Evans: Trent Alexander-Arnold Will Always Be A Full-Back, Embrace It

Let’s put the six goals at Elland Road into context. Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace scored five there. OK, we’re starting with a cold shower. But Monday night was a step in the right direction.
