Some Liverpool fans have been criticising right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold after his performance during his side’s 4-0 victory against Southampton on Saturday.
The Reds extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table to 22 points by the end of the day, with goals from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jordan Henderson and a brace from Mohamed Salah securing their 24th victory from 25 games. Alexander-Arnold, who is valued at £99m by TransferMarkt, found himself on the opposite end of feedback from fans at full-time.
The 21-year-old lost possession 41 times, only completed six long balls from 23 and had a pass success rate of just 52%, as per SofaScore. The Melwood graduate has received criticism from Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville this season, stating that he has flaws concerning his defensive attributes, quoted by the Daily Mail. One fan said that he “had a stinker” and criticised his distribution, while another described him as “terrible”.

Thought Trent had a stinker today y’know. His distribution was atrocious. Same with Ox in the first half but he’s garbage out wide. First 45 was the worst half all season.
Couldn’t fault anyone second half mind. Van Djik, Firmino, Salah and Hendo were all brilliant. #LFC
