  • speaking off fullbacks Trent Alexander Arnold was already equaled his own record for assists last season with 12.

  • He now says he wants to go past that.

  • So what is that telephone I should I should qualify that first of all, because in the same interview trend also said, Of course, victories and clean sheets come before that.

  • But it is.

  • This is very much my ambition now, Yeah, to go on yet is that tell us how much we hurt.

  • It's a holy old expression hell that the fullback has evolved and it's changed.

  • But when I read that today, I really did think that is a very different outlook.

  • You used to like Get forward, get your crosses in.

  • But you didn't look at it assiduously.

  • Is that Did you know and again is maybe again that the way that teams play again, the holding midfielders free up fullbacks to become the width.

  • We don't really see genuine wide players anymore.

  • They tend to come in field to full backs, can really influence games, but not to the level that I was under Arnold is doing.

  • He has taken it to a whole new level again, is average position will be over.

  • The halfway line is delivery, but he's starting to develop that delivery as well.

  • It's not all you put such quality in from open play, not just from set plays.

  • I just take a lot.

  • Set place, freak.

  • It's corners.

  • His is from open play, right on the money virtually every time, but also that he's starting to think well.

  • Opposition will start expecting me to put that ball in so they'll start to defend differently and he's starting to adapt his game.

  • Plan to feed a little bit.

  • Maur.

  • So that's the develop the clock will bring to his game as well.

  • So I just think he's gonna get better and better.

  • Talk about plan in midfield is planning it.

  • Feel now is a fullback on the team sheet, but he's actually playing midfield because modern four bucks do step into midfield to play alongside the holy midfield of the center.

  • Hearts do the defending astonishing stats, but they're going to get better.

  • Fantastic player.

  • I mean, we may be 33 years ago.

  • I think he made his debut 34 years ago.

  • We looked at him in.

  • We knew he had pace, he was a bit slimmer.

  • I think the one question Waas about Trent was, Could he defend and I've seen games and there was questions about if little want progress, Will they look at buying another right back?

  • And I think that's why Gomez is kind of was kind of filtered in there, and I think Trenton looked at it.

  • I think he's done a lot of work off the field as well where I think he's looked at himself, he's gone away and I don't know what's happened.

  • It's just transformed into this beast.

  • I think.

  • I mean, someone's asked me what, Who could you kind of compare him to?

  • You know, back in the back in the day and Dani Alves, I mean, he kind of put that fullback where you can play fullback in a winger in tow.

  • One role where it was like when he played a part of me was like, Well, don't worry about the right thing then Daniel Alvarez has got that and this is what trends bringing to Liverpool.

  • He's got well what you said.

  • My cell, I can come in on just play into that awkward position between a fullback and center half where or who were picking up, Because if I come in here, who's got who's got Trent?

  • And when you talk about delivery and crosses, I know we talk about O'Brien and his ability to pass forward and broader should have that little bit more right.

  • But the way he's going, Tran's going well.

  • I mean, he's two to assist against West Ham with four nominees.

  • First cross wherever.

  • I just thought he was gonna take a touch.

  • The ability to whip that round isn't defending.

  • They're playing for England.

  • That has been talked about because again, you can't poly play the game with England that you play with Liverpool, go into a World Cup.

  • Maybe as well, the Euro's you're gonna be under more pressure defensively.

  • Is that maybe God, Is he still Gareth Southgate's first choice for about?

  • Or does that defensive concern come into play a little bit?

  • Is he going to play a more natural defender in that position than Alexander Arnold because of the what the opposition in an international game?

  • My depending on what you want for your right back.

  • I mean, if you if you're on the team sheet as a right back.

  • Your first job is a defender, then your ability to go out and help in the attack, and that's a bonus.

  • So your first job is to defend first, know that I think a lot don't want a block, crosses and actually defend properly a lot.

  • Just think about going forward.

  • Is that coaching, you know, is that is that way.

  • Talk about that that made food.

  • When you look at Liverpool play like when Phoebe Neos Air or even Henderson was playing that you see virtually there is a three and they kind of cover across that allows him to go, so I think it's the formation.

  • But if you bring a coach at once a player Ah, 442 and you're right back, Well, you gotta defend first.

  • Yes, they're just with the international.

  • Gay is, I think, that demands were slightly different internationally than they are domestically.

  • I mean, when you talk about him whipping balls in crosses, et cetera, that's not standard fare for four backs but is traditionally your role, and he just does it particularly well.

  • But it's his range of passing as well.

  • He's sitting 40 50 year old crossfield balls Yeah, swerve on it.

  • But what, exactly what we're starting to see now he can do that.

  • But the opposition might say what we think is going to do that.

  • So they'll stretch their defensive game.

  • He'll then play into someone's feet short.

  • And once he does that, you have no hope of defending against him because he's got the intelligence and he's been coached to actually say, Don't because you're brilliant at that and you know, nine times out saying, Get it right Don't do that every time.

  • Still, as time goes by, I get more experienced.

  • What is the right pastor make?

  • You might be into Marcellus feet Rather switching the plate.

  • Randy Robertson.

  • And I think when he was younger he was It wasn't getting the right pass.

  • But now I think he's picking the right pass a lot more.

  • And I go back to when he played the FIFA World Club game in the final, where he broke down the line.

  • We set up the Gulf War for media and I was watching the game and I went, Oh, you gotta quit That backstage go and the way he looked at the back stick and he fed that boy into familiar.

  • Even I went, Wow, the ability to see that said it, isn't it?

  • That's the strikingly not all that good.

  • He's got the ability to actually see that.

  • So he's a phenomenal player, so we're fairly confident he'll break.

  • His own assist record is equaled already.

  • Yeah, undoubtedly carries on out of the team that is playing in with the strikers.

  • He's got to hit as well.

  • They think he's gonna keep assist after us.

  • It's brilliant, absolutely.
