The difference between me and him is night and day \u2013 I can&#8217;t even relate to what he&#8217;s doing on the pitch.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He&#8217;s playing in central midfield for 50-60 per cent of it, he&#8217;s going forward scoring goals, he&#8217;s setting up goals and assists. He&#8217;s achieving numbers that right wingers don&#8217;t achieve.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He&#8217;s got the material to be the very best right-back of all time. But he&#8217;s going to have to be a little bit more serious about his defending because currently he struggles to get into the England team, or he has struggled. He will need to, when Liverpool and England are under the cosh, be able to be a resilient, tough defensive player as well.&#8217;<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off\u00a0is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football, launching with a preview show today and every week this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube , Apple Music and Spotify<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12796001\/Trent-Alexander-Arnold-PUNISHMENT-FA-celebration.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trent Alexander-Arnold could face PUNISHMENT from the FA for his celebration after scoring against Manchester City&#8230;
