Trent Alexander-Arnold – Local Hero

I know it shouldn’t be important, but it is. I know it should just be about the team, but this isn’t.

Poise. Class. Creativity.

Alongside this, there was the ongoing Coutinho situation, whilst two of Liverpool's best offensive players...

Liverpool v Crystal Palace Preview – Key Battles

Trent Alexander-Arnold: A Star is Born

I remember watching Robbie Threlfall in a Youth Cup final between Liverpool and Man United in 2007, and convincing myself he was going to be a future Reds great.
