On the stroke of half-time, the stadium cameras panned to Trent Alexander-Arnold.
His sullen expression, exposed almost heartlessly on the jumbo screens positioned on two corners of the Emirates Stadium, said it all.
The Liverpool right-back is struggling. Big time.

It isn’t getting any easier either, this another day to forget for the embattled defender - arguably his worst yet.
Both Arsenal’s first-half goals developed down Liverpool’s right side, the flank Alexander-Arnold is supposed to be guarding with his life.
Martin Odegaard’s pass into Gabriel Martinelli’s path eliminated Alexander-Arnold from the game before the Brazilian fired Arsenal ahead inside 60 seconds.
