Fab four fail, ref gives Baggies the bail: 5 talking points from Liverpool vs West Brom 

#2 Trent Alexander-Arnold impresses again

Another impressive outing

Liverpool’s defence has been pretty substandard this season yet again, but the biggest positives have been the performances of their full-backs. Many presumed Klopp had shot himself in the foot after only signing Andrew Robertson, but boy did Alberto Moreno prove them wrong.

There was a similar feeling when questions arose about why the club didn’t sign a good player as a backup for the injured Nathaniel Clyne. Trent Alexander-Arnold had shown glimpses that he could be a good player in pre-season, but Klopp has managed to chisel him well and he has turned into quite a good right-back.

Towards the end of the game, he seemed a bit worn out, but it was only because he put in quite a shift, often marauding up and down the flanks to act as an attacking outlet and at the same time, keeping the likes of Hal Robson-Kanu and James McClean in check.

TAA put in some smashing crosses, of which at least a couple led to good goalscoring chances. If he stays fit for the rest of the season and puts in the kind of performance he did last night, he could have an outside chance of even making the plane to Russia.
