Liverpool continues their victory route after hammering The Hammers by 2-1 while the Reds boss Jurgen Klopp spoke highly about Mr. Corner taken quickly, who had yet again worn his assist boots yesterday night.
The former head coach of Borussia Dortmund ultimately chose the phrase “absolutely insane,” which is a fitting description for a footballer who looks to be prospering in his new position in the middle of the park.
Liverpool star left Jurgen Klopp in awe
Trent was excellent last night, as always. When speaking to BT Sport, the German boss was candid in his assessment of the English potential.
Klopp:
“I love the counter-press, I love the way we build up, I loved, to be honest… the stuff Trent played was… wow! Absolutely insane.”
The England international contributed yet another assist by providing the critical ball for Cody Gakpo’s incredible equalizing goal during the first half of play.
The visitors go up to sixth position in the Premier League league as a result of the match outcome, level on points with seventh-place Tottenham and just six behind Newcastle United (albeit the Magpies still have a game left to play).
Trent’s vision upfront
It’s difficult to argue with the German’s assessment, and it undoubtedly raises more general concerns about how our No. 66 will be used in the upcoming term.
Fundamentally, it’s obvious that Alexander-Arnold gains from having access to the space in front of him, made possible by starting out deep in a fullback role and advancing when we have the ball.
Starting higher up the field would require the right-back to be more precise in smaller pockets of space, which may subsequently have a negative effect as far as getting the most out of his creative ability is concerned. However, this wouldn’t completely deprive the right-back of space to exploit.
Additionally, there is the reliable stance of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” to rely on as one of England’s most talented footballers continues to produce outstanding performances in his hybrid role.
