Liverpool 2-0 Atletico Madrid: Why Trent Alexander-Arnold is a weapon England cannot afford to waste

If anyone needs convincing that Trent Alexander-Arnold should be England's first-choice right-back, his performance against Atletico Madrid is a good place to start.

I am not one of those who needs reminding of how good Trent is, but he still produces moments like his cross for Liverpool's first goal in their win on Wednesday that just make you go 'wow'.

That kind of quality is what makes him a very special player indeed - and for me he is the best of a very good bunch that England have in his position.

It's a close call between him and Chelsea's Reece James but, as good as James is going forward, he just does not have the same absolutely top-class delivery that Trent does.
