Neville mocked Alexander-Arnold’s defensive ability
Alexander-Arnold was advised by Gary Neville to give up on being a midfielder and concentrate instead on strengthening his defensive skills. This season, Alexander-subpar Arnold’s defense has been often exposed. Alexander-Arnold was one of the players that struggled in the first period of the game against Arsenal.
The English player, however, always understands how to make up for it with the capacity to back strong attacks. Firmino’s goal off of a cross from Alexander-Arnold gave Liverpool a 2-2 tie.
Sharing after the game, Gary Neville said that Klopp should not try to use Alexander-Arnold as a midfielder and advised the English player to focus on improving his own defense.
“He has an impressive offensιve ability. I don’t know what to say about him because his defense is so bad. Some of the situations where he chose to position himself to defend against Martinelli were very amateurish. Even so, his offensιve ability is too good and I admire him a lot.
“Alexander-Arnold will move into midfield by being given the freedom to play at right-back. But if he actually plays in midfield then that’s a different story. Some of the best midfielders in the world. world like Xavi, Iniesta or Rodri, they are the ones who have the ability to control the game, Trent doesn’t have the ability to do that.
“I think Trent can play at full-back. Jurgen Klopp has tried to use him in a different position, in a role like Zinchenko or John Stones. But I think he might be a better fit for the role. field defender.
“Trent doesn’t need to be the best defender in the world, but he can’t be a weakness. People just ask him to defend well and focus on work. When you play for a team. The ball is losing its form like Liverpool, these weaknesses are being exploited even more.”
