Just a quick word on Alexander-Arnold. The thing that strikes out to me about him is his desire to get past his man and attack the opposition with such confidence. I've noticed in the recent past how our academy products tend to get to their man and then hesitate and either go backwards or sideways. Trent just ran at them instead, and although not always successful, which was refreshing to see. He reminded me of a young Dani Alves tonight (ok maybe overstretching it a little) and who knows, if he continues to kick on and put the graft in he could sort out our right back position for a long time to come and become a top quality player.

Great post we have a real gem on our hands what do you think his best position will be he has played more advanced.

He is absolutely destined to make it at the highest level. I am convinced.

I went to the Watford game and he was practicing crosses in the pre match warm up. I noticed that none of them went above head level. Aside from the free kick which was at head level I've also noticed his corners and crosses are not clearing the front man. I don't think it's technique. I have the feeling he is trying to whip them in at that height rather than float them in. .

I'm relatively clueless about Tactics so I'm curious if this is what he is being asked to do.

Its about abilty and confidence also. Several of recent young players had that "take on" attitude. Jordon Ibe was a bright prospect, but his take ons went all so predictable, and into the defenders legs. Jordons main problem was the lack of natural football feeling. I belive TAAs strongpoint compared to Ibe, is his ability to take the right decitions. When to go, when to stay.
