Frank Leboeuf has torn into Trent Alexander-Arnold's defensive abilities, with the former Chelsea ace claiming that the Liverpool full-back is "Championship level" defensively.
Alexander-Arnold has evolved into a pivotal member of Jurgen Klopp's squad since breaking through at Anfield and is given a license to roam by the German chief. That freedom, coupled with his quality from dead-ball situations, has seen the 23-year-old blossom into one of the Reds' chief creators.
But that hasn't made the Liverpool academy graduate immune from criticism - and plenty of it has been thrown at Alexander-Arnold in recent weeks in the wake of the Reds' lacklustre start to the season.
