Trent Alexander-Arnold revealed this season that the furthest he had reached back into Liverpool’s history was to watch footage of the team managed by Gerard Houllier in 2000.
Nobody would suggest there is nothing to learn from Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Dietmar Hamann, but as we approach the resumption of play, Alexander-Arnold and his team-mates may wish to go back another decade.
It is the 1990 team Liverpool are about to eclipse. It only seems right that they should know about them.
Modern footballers can be hard to read.
