I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s a long ball team. But when you\u2019ve got Salah on the right-hand side and you\u2019re whipping that ball down his right-hand side, that\u2019s what Trent\u2019s very, very good at.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think people come at him for defending. But people can come at me for my crossing. Let\u2019s just say that. I don\u2019t think anyone\u2019s going to really have the finished article. I think he\u2019s improved massively on his defending, I think it comes with age as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alexander-Arnold is currently out injured after suffering a recurrence of a knee issue during Liverpool\u2019s recent 3-1 win over Burnley at Turf Moor.
