Liverpool picked up a convincing win against Manchester City on Sunday, registering three Premier League points at the Etihad Stadium for the first time since 2015.

It felt like a big win for the Reds, who moved 11 points clear of Arsenal in the title race.

Mohamed Salah delivered an inspired performance, while Dominik Szoboszlai was equally as good.

Not every Liverpool player was quite as impressive as Salah and Szoboszlai, though, with Trent Alexander-Arnold struggling a little at right-back.

Often isolated against the lively Jeremy Doku, Alexander-Arnold was beaten time after time by the Man City winger.

Although Alexander-Arnold had a rough time against Doku, the Belgian ultimately did not create anything much at all for City.

He beat Trent time and again, but Doku simply couldn’t make the most of the openings he created for himself.

Pep Guardiola said he noticed Salah defending more than usual and perhaps this was what Alexander-Arnold needed just to tip things in his favour slightly.

According to Babel, though, the Liverpool academy graduate should have taken a more old-school approach.

“I love Trent, but after the 3rd time of being played with you need to put your foot in his ass….” the Dutchman wrote on X.

“Let him know that u [sic] ain’t no toy.”

While he wasn’t all bad against Man City, it was infuriating to watch Alexander-Arnold be beaten over and over by Doku.

The 22-year-old is quick-footed and unpredictable, but at times it barely looks as though Trent is even trying to stop him.

The Scouser noticeably improved his defending during the early part of the season under Arne Slot.

However, over recent times Alexander-Arnold has started delivering the same kind of half-hearted attempts at tackles Liverpool fans will know all too well.

Trent still has plenty to offer and played his part in the Reds’ second goal.
