Joe Cole Liverpool right back Trent Alexander-Arnold
Former Liverpool and England star Joe Cole was impressed by Alexander-Arnold’s pass to Grealish and his overall performance.
Cole said on Channel 4 (22:47, 14/10/2023): “Now look at that ball.
“Nobody in world football gives that in the first turn and that’s the difference.”
My understanding: Liverpool and England star Trent Alexander-Arnold is world class
I think Liverpool and England right back Trent Alexander-Arnold is a world class player.
I think the 25-year-old is one of the best players on the planet.
And perhaps the 25-year-old needs to be more defensively oriented in certain games.
But overall he is a very good right winger and one of the best in the world in his position.
Alexander-Arnold also played well for Liverpool and England when he played in midfield.
Perhaps Alexander-Arnold will move permanently to midfield for both club and country in the future.
