Jamie Redknapp says Trent Alexander-Arnold must improve ahead of Liverpool's clash with Man City

That is according to former Liverpool midfielder and Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp.

Alexander-Arnold has been the regular right-back of late for the Reds, with Joe Gomez and Nathaniel Clyne missing through injury.

The teenager has impressed many with his performances since breaking into the first-team last season.

But Redknapp was critical of him following today’s 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.

Alexander-Arnold played a role in Palace’s goal, with a ball over the top beating the right-back before goalkeeper Loris Karius fouled Wilfried Zaha and gave away a penalty.

Redknapp says Alexander-Arnold must be prepared for the Champions League first-leg clash against Manchester City on Wednesday because City’s Leroy Sane will look to take advantage of his lapses.

“Definitely a penalty, a poor decision from the goalkeeper. A really good penalty, you don’t save that one,” Redknapp said.

“But taking it further to the Champions League game, it’s almost a case of Jurgen Klopp has now got to sit the right-back down and say to him ‘against a player like Leroy Sane, he’s going to make those runs, you’ve got to be aware’.

“It didn’t just happen once for that one, it was a couple of times just before hand.

“I thought at times he was a little bit sloppy, bad positional play.

“He needs to address that because they get a player like Leroy Sane, very similar to Zaha, he’s got that inside to out run, and he’s going to cause you problems.”
