Trent Alexander-Arnold might may not be and brimstone like Graeme Souness or Jordan Henderson but in terms of leading by example, Liverpool’s captain against Union Saint-Gilloise was inspirational.
Alexander-Arnold was named the club’s official vice-captain at the start of this season and with Virgil van Dijk rested for the Europa League clash with the Belgian league leaders, he wore the armband on his red 66 jersey.
Perhaps it’s the shorter haircut or renewed self-belief about Jurgen Klopp allowing him to roam into midfield but 24-year-old Alexander-Arnold exudes a calm confidence at the moment.
