TRENT HAS A RIGHT MARE

Star gives watching Tuchel a big problem

- JEREMY CROSS

IT WASN'T the snow that put the skids under Trent Alexander Arnold's defensive reputation.

Or even the damning comments from TV pundit Roy Keane in the Anfield studio at half-time.

No. The only thing to blame for people taking to social media to suggest the Liverpool star couldn't tackle a sponge pudding was the performance of the player himself.

And it will have left new England boss Thomas Tuchel scratching his head as he left Anfield.

The German coach is on a whistle-stop tour of the country, watching as many games and players as he can ahead of March's World Cup qualifiers.

Alexander-Arnold is sure to be in his Three Lions squad for these two games, but where would he play him? On this evidence, right-back is not an option.

While Gareth Southgate's decision to pick him in midfield at last summer's Euros turned into a disaster.
