Lineker emphasized Alexander-Arnold’s attacking prowess,stating,”You’ve got to say it was worth his weight in gold going forward,and I always used to say,’Stop worrying about him making the odd tiny mistake defensively,because what he gives you the other way is incredible.'”
Redknapp echoed these sentiments, pointing to the difficulties Liverpool have faced since Alexander-Arnold’s injury. ”They’ve got problems at full-back. They’re missing Trent [Alexander-Arnold],” Redknapp told Sky Sports on Saturday. He further noted the struggles of Conor Bradley and Milos Kerkez in filling the role, stating Bradley “had a tough 45 minutes” and Kerkez “hasn’t quite adapted.”
Redknapp also acknowledged broader issues within the squad, alongside andy Robertson‘s injury, suggesting the international break presents an opportunity for Arne Slot‘s team to “reset.”
