'So lazy!' - Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold branded 'one of worst in his position' after Man Utd horror show as ex-Premier League star suggests he 'hates' being a defender

<p>Alexander-Arnold had a night to forget <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-player-ratings-man-utd-trent-alexander-arnold-cody-gakpo-mohamed-salah/blt951437d58aa50298#cs4ee54b2402d379a9" target="_blank">against Manchester United last Sunday</a> as it was from his mistake that Lisandro Martinez scored the opening goal. The <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-second-bid-trent-alexander-arnold-carlo-ancelotti-liverpool-star-january-transfer-window/blt444bf8492860f138" target="_blank">Real Madrid-bound full-back's</a> defensive credentials were questioned by many, including <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/going-tranmere-rovers-roy-keane-rubbishes-trent-alexander-arnold-real-madrid-transfer-liverpool-star-torn-apart-schoolboy-showing-man-utd/blt77f30302275a1af9#cs2fd8dddc119626de" target="_blank">former United legend and pundit Roy Keane, who mockingly said</a> that he is more likely to get a move to League Two side Tranmere Rovers than Los Blancos.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Ex-Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit has now joined the bandwagon as he raised questions over the 26-year-old's defensive abilities and even labelled him as "one of the worst in his position". Alexander-Arnold has entered the final six months of his Liverpool contract and is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/arne-slot-cant-guarantee-trent-alexander-arnold-liverpool-player-january-transfer-window-real-madrid-contract-standoff/blt775faece09738079" target="_blank">still far from agreeing to sign a new deal at Anfield</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://discasino.com/" target="_blank"><em>DisCasino</em></a>, the former France international said: "I've always had the same opinion on Trent Alexander-Arnold, he's a great player with technical ability, amazing passing and vision, but he's not a defender. He hates it. When you play in a team like Liverpool, they can handle that weakness, but they almost lost to Manchester United at Anfield because of him. The way Alexander-Arnold defended was horrible, he was so lazy for the Lisandro Martinez goal.</p><p>"I'm being harsh, but I'm not surprised about his ability to defend either. With the ball, Alexander-Arnold is the best in his position, without the ball, he's one of the worst. This game meant a lot, he knows that as he's from the city and Liverpool is in his DNA."</p>

WHAT EMMANUEL PETIT SAID

<p>The Premier League leaders will be back in action on Wednesday as they take on Tottenham in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final tie in north London. Liverpool are due to face Accrington Stanley in the third round of the FA Cup three days later.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR LIVERPOOL?
