Although there has been debate about Trent Alexander-Arnold’s best position, his recent performances suggest that his hybrid role is his strongest. Despite calls for him to permanently move to midfield, Liverpool’s victory over Sheffield United saw the 25-year-old produce an assist and seven key passes from his current position. While some argue that he could be the heartbeat of the team in midfield, it is important to consider the knock-on effects of moving him from his current role.
Furthermore, the threat of man-marking limiting his influence makes a compelling case for him to remain in his current position. For now, it is best for Klopp to stick with what works and keep Alexander-Arnold in his hybrid role.
