Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Stellar Form Continues Under Lee Carsley
England’s interim manager Lee Carsley has received widespread praise for his tactical decisions, and none more so than his utilization of Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Liverpool right-back has been in scintillating form, and his latest display against Finland was no exception.
Alexander-Arnold was named Player of the Match for the second consecutive game, and it’s easy to see why. He created the most chances for England, with five successful passes that led to goal-scoring opportunities. Since the start of 2019, he’s only achieved this feat twice, making him a unique asset for the Three Lions.
Under Carsley’s guidance, Alexander-Arnold has been allowed to thrive in his natural position, and the results are evident. He’s been criticized in the past for his performances in midfield, but it’s clear that he’s a right-back at heart. His ability to deliver pinpoint accurate crosses and beat defenders with ease makes him a valuable asset for both club and country.
Fans have taken to social media to praise Alexander-Arnold’s resurgence, with one fan stating, "Trent Alexander-Arnold is back in the starting XI and is thriving." Another tweeted, "Trent Alexander-Arnold is a little magician. Lee Carsley is taking us to the promised land." A third fan added, "Is Lee Carsley the man who can get Trent Alexander-Arnold to produce his best Liverpool form for #England? No English player can pass the ball as well as TAA."
The stats back up Alexander-Arnold’s impressive display, with Opta Joe noting that he’s created the most chances for England in the game. His partnership with Noni Madueke and Harry Kane was particularly fruitful, with the trio combining for both goals.
As England look to build momentum ahead of the World Cup, Alexander-Arnold’s form will be crucial. With Liverpool facing Nottingham Forest this weekend, fans will be eager to see him continue his impressive run of form.
