Would it not be easier to just drop him for a bit? He’s not good enough to warrant a change of formation and to be played as a luxury player.This is how I’m seeing it tbh. TAA is playing terribly this season. Don’t get me wrong. But Klopp hasn’t adjusted tactically to make up for an ageing midfield and it’s exposing the flaws in Trent’s game.
Alexander-Arnold has always had a harder time with the defensive side of his game. This isn’t something new. It’s just being exposed more this season.
He needs to be moved higher up the pitch imo. A 4-4-2 allows flexibility to become a 4-3-3 if needed and puts the defensive burden on whoever we stick at RB (Gomez or Ramsey). Alexander-Arnold can then play on the right and tuck in a bit when needed. He seems to like the inside right position anyway.
He can’t keep playing RB though. Martinelli will roast him next week.
He has all kinds of records for giving the ball away.
I think he’s a decent player, but a bit of time out of the spotlight would do him good.
