Trent Alexander-Arnold remains in a constant battle to prove himself in the eyes of some neutrals who insist on the superiority of the likes of Reece James and Kyle Walker to the 23-year-old.
A howler of epic proportions from the former of the pair should, perhaps, have such supporters reconsidering where the Chelsea man lies in the pecking order after committing such a woeful own goal, if we’re to continue attributing much importance to pre-season performances.
The reality of the situation is that both right-backs are rightly two of Europe’s best options in that particular position.
That being said, we’d be inclined to argue that the quality of our No.66’s outings over the last few years have singled him out ahead of the rest – never mind Gareth Southgate’s reluctance to utilise him in the national side.

So either we take pre season games as hugely important and impactful on the season or we don’t.
Cos 4-0 against the manure shows that we should have neutrals rethinking any praise for LFC in recent years…
Absolute wind up merchants
LLB could not agree more does any one think that the manure is going to put 4 goals past liverpool in the league personnally that will only happen if liverpool sleep in and forget to turn up.
No doesn’t change nothing as a neutral a mistake doesn’t change a fact Recee is a better defender.
