There are many unpopular opinions, but this one probably tops it all.Former Liverpool player Steve Nicol, who spent 14 years at Anfield, mostly during the 80s, claims that Trent Alexander-Arnold is a lousy defender who should be sold as soon as possible!?”I don’t care who you support. Trent Alexander-Arnold isn’t a good defender,” the Reds legend told ESPN.”If Real Madrid were to offer, I don’t know, £60, £70, £80m when you have a young kid in Conor Bradley, who is a miles better defender, great going forward, but in the same class as Trent.”Past, present and future: Alexander-Arnold signs new contract to become one of Liverpool team leadersIt is not the first time this season that Alexander-Arnold has been receiving some particularly harsh comments from Nicol with regard to his defending abilities.”Alexander-Arnold, as great as he is on the ball going forward, he’s a liability defensively,” the Scot said after Liverpool’s 3-1 away loss to Arsenal in February.”He can’t defend one-on-one, and he doesn’t get in good positions to stop [Gabriel] Martinelli today getting the ball.”[Ibrahima] Konate ends up having to do two jobs. He’s got to play centre back, and he’s got to cover the right back position constantly.”##NAJAVA_MECA_7986731##
