Trent Alexander Arnold serious and Klopp disappointed

Despite Liverpool having obtained an important victory against Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup, manager Jürgen Klopp should not be entirely happy with some technical issues in his squad that prevented them from getting an earlier lead at the Emirates Stadium, with Trent Alexander Arnold being one of the players who made his shortcomings more evident in this duel, and could mean his best one more chance to be able to find the victory,

It is true that TAA's forcefulness in recent months has been unquestionably higher than in previous years, but even with these improvements of the Reds' number 66, this player still shows some inconsistencies when it comes to joining the attack, being especially his shot at goal where he has made the most mistakes.

During the first half of the match against Arsenal, Alexander Arnold had a direct shot at goal that unfortunately for him and his team, ended up crashing against the crossbar, which could have meant a total change of strategy by Klopp for the second half, having an advantage to play with at all times.. This type of shots that end up hitting the crossbar or the post by Trent Alexander Arnold is a recurrent within the Liverpool matches, and the player must improve this aspect, not because his mid-range shot is bad, but rather that sometimes his aim or his excessive force ends up eradicating a scoring opportunity that sometimes come out to be scarce.

Klopp's squad still has room for improvement

While the Liverpool team will continue to have some important absentees during the next few weeks of competition, this group led by Jürgen Klopp still needs to improve in technical matters, being that perhaps the only great weakness that the Reds have, but this great lack has been compensated with a good collective game that made them come out on top this weekend in the FA Cup.
