'It's unfair that Trent Alexander Arnold won't go to World Cup', Liverpool legend says

His strong performances in red at Anfield, and in white for England, are the main reason why there is no doubt that Trent Alexander-Arnold can be a World Cup player at Qatar 2022, at least that was thought until Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate left him out of the squad to face Germany in the UEFA Nations League, prompting some dissatisfaction even from a former Reds player who sees the defender as a useful asset in the final third of the pitch,

Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has said that Alexander-Arnold should go to the World Cup because the Briton's qualities are impressive when he has the ball at his feet, understanding his team's needs and his limitations as a player and using that to shine in the penalty area and show off his great mid-range shot, which is one of his many attacking traits.

Southgate's ridiculous reason for leaving out Trent Alexander Arnold

Although the former Scotland man was full of praise for the 23-year-old, he also had a brief moment to be critical and point out the Liverpool player's main weakness, noting that he tends to miss a lot when it comes to being defensive, although this often doesn't end up taking its toll as what he delivers up top far outweighs those mistakes.

Alexander-Arnold's chances of featuring in the Qatar showpiece at the end of November look increasingly slim after the Liverpool right-back failed to make manager Gareth Southgate's 23-man squad for their Nations League clash against Germany, but while the chances are slim for the Briton, he still has plenty of time to show in both the Premier League and Champions League for the Reds that he has what it takes to catapult him to Asian soil.

‘TAA should be at the World Cup’

During the 2022-2023 season, Trent Alexander-Arnold has played a total of nine games for Liverpool in the Premier League, Cup and Champions League, scoring a total of two goals, equalling his record of the last two years. The only problem for the young Briton today is in the production of assists as he has not yet got one on his tally. This defender will probably benefit in his level once the Anfield midfield stabilises and starts to deliver a better performance than the one he has shown so far.
