"It was almost like Man United picked on him."
Trent Alexander-Arnold has won every trophy that he can possibly win at Liverpool and he's only 23-years-old, not to mention that he's already broken a load of assist records with more pending. Coming through Liverpool's ranks, he has been a mainstay at right back under Jurgen Klopp, who has no interest in rotating him, fully dependent on the youngster. However, even with all of this, Trent seems to struggle to nail down a place in the England team, and whenever he has a poor performance, every pundit and voice in the game is only too keen to remind him.
Darren Bent is the latest of former Premier League stars to jump on this wagon, and has spoken on talkSPORT recently about the defenders recent form.
The former Aston Villa and Tottenham striker also claimed he's the 'worst' out of fellow England full-backs James and Walker.
"Trent Alexander-Arnold, my goodness! People will keep banging that drum saying he’s better than James and Walker. Absolutely not." https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1562108821794967554?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1562108821794967554%7Ctwgr%5Efed646cf79bc6f3d7428f6e88ddb9aba1d6e5786%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportbible.com%2Ffootball%2Falexanderarnold-walker-james-liverpool-man-united-20220824
Bent continued by giving Alexander-Arnold credit for his offensive attributes, but believes James isn't far off in terms of distribution.
"Offensively, I’ll give it to him," he added. "His range of passing, his distribution... but when you think of his distribution, it’s not that much better than James.
"Then look what James can do to certain wide players. Look what he did to Heung-min Son.
"Out of them three, Alexander-Arnold is the worst.
"Last night, it was almost like Man United picked on him. They picked on him down the left side."
