Trent Alexander-Arnold has hit back at those who have criticised his defensive credentials - insisting that his performances have not received the level of credit they deserve after defending "really well" at times this season.
The Reds' No.66 has been the subject of large amounts of scrutiny during the opening months of the Premier League campaign as Jurgen Klopp's slide have endured a collective hangover following last season's mammoth quadruple bid.
Injuries and a joint lack of form across the team has resulted in Alexander-Arnold being scapegoated for his performances against Manchester United, Napoli, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in particular, with Sky Sports pundit and former England right-back Gary Neville declaring that it would be a "risk" for Gareth Southgate to play Alexander-Arnold in a knockout game at the World Cup this winter.
