As Liverpool went within a whisker of achieving an unprecedented quadruple earlier this year, there were few better performers than those on the Reds’ right-hand side; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jordan Henderson and Mohamed Salah.
Their success dates back to the summer of 2021, when Jurgen Klopp and assistant manager Pep Lijnders meticulously detailed plans on how they could reinvent the Liverpool team, during a month-long stay at their Saalfelden off-season training base.
Part of those discussions and plans from Klopp and Lijnders centred around redeveloping full-back duo Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold - who had cemented themselves as the continent's finest pairing following their outstanding output in recent Champions League and Premier League-winning seasons.
