Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has conceded that he has not helped himself with his defending at times this season after failing to start a single game at the World Cup for England.
Liverpool endured a difficult start to the season under Jurgen Klopp, with Alexander-Arnold's defending being questioned on multiple occasions by fans and pundits.
This led to him falling down the pecking order at international level as he made just one substitute appearance against Wales in Qatar, with Gareth Southgate preferring Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier instead.
Alexander-Arnold feels his defending has been criticised more frequently this season, particularly in the build-up to the World Cup, but has hinted that some of this has been fair as he was not at his best prior to the tournament.
