With Liverpool struggling so far this season, Alexander-Arnold’s performances have come under criticism.
The England international is undoubtedly one of the most exciting, creative full-backs in world football, but questions have been asked as to whether he has the defensive ability to match.
Former Liverpool player Collymore has had his say on whether Alexander-Arnold should be moved into midfield, to limit the amount of defending he is forced to do in a game.
