Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: Trent's understudy
Trent Alexander-Arnold is a problem for Liverpool. A good one, but, nevertheless, a problem. He’s a unique right-back and it means that whenever he doesn’t start, there’s a noticeable drop-off in quality and quite a shift in style.

That weight was instantly lifted, whether it be for Jurgen Klopp, his players or the supporters, as the Reds produced a performance that suggests they are back.
Alisson responded well after a shocking couple of games; Trent Alexander-Arnold was influential; Ozan Kabak and …
Liverpool signing Ben Davies appears well-suited to “quarterback” role
After days of nothingness mainly made up of endless scrolling through Liverpool Twitter (presumably), Michael Edwards was evidently moved enough by fans’ pleas to leap into action with deadline day looming. With fears the team’s season was slipping further away with every new injury at the back and its knock-on effects through the rest of the team, Liverpool have signed Preston North End defender Ben Davies as part of their attempts to fill their once-gaping void at the centre-back position.

Trent continues to emulate Gerrard after slump in form at 22
The date was November 12th, 2002, and Liverpool needed to win away to FC Basel to get through their Champions League group.
Gerard Houllier's men found themselves 3-0 down before the half-hour mark had even arrived, with one player worse than anyone else on the pitch.
That man's name? Steven Gerrard.
He was wretched in Switzerland, spraying passes out of play and generally performing like someone devoid of all confidence and focus.
A dreadful 45 minutes from Gerrard saw him …
