I And Robertson Compete To See Who Has More Goals And Assists – Trent

Liverpool defender, Trent Alexander-Arnold has said he wants to change public opinion of full-backs, because “nobody wants to grow up to be a Gary Neville”.

Andrew Robertson’s assist resulted in Salah’s goal vs Sheffield United in the fourth minute of the game, making it his 6th assist of the season, which puts him just two behind Trent.

Asked if Andrew has helped push him to “new heights, the defender spoke on the competition between them and aimed a subtle dig at ex-Manchester United full-back, Gary Neville.

His words, “Definitely, we are competitive within ourselves,”

“We have a competition between us to see who can get the most goals and assist and it pushes us.

“As a pair, we want to change the way the position has previously been thought about. Obviously there was the famous saying ‘no one wants to grow up to be a full-back or a Gary Neville’.

“We want to bring in a different way of thinking and that’s what we’ve been doing over the last 18 months.”

On the team, “When you have momentum and good form you want the games to keep coming,”

“We are happy with the way things are going. We are picking up a lot of points but we know there are still a lot of games to come and the FA Cup on the weekend. We are looking forward to the rest of the season.

“It was something we spoke about – controlling the game more and not being so hectic. We were too open to try and get more goals. We want to keep the ball and tire the opposition out.

“So far we are invincible but we have only just passed the halfway mark so there’s still a long way to go. It is harder than what people say. We got beaten once last season and that wasn’t enough. We need to keep our concentration in every game.”
