Is fair but defensive weaknesses have been targeted for quite some time eg Vinicius Jr strolling in on his blind side to score the Champions League winner (sticks in my mind as an interview in The Guardian published the same day had TAA saying “seeing things others don’t”).
Don’t want to have a downer on him but his considerable strengths don’t offset these fundamental weaknesses enough.

I think there are valid arguments to make about Alexander-Arnold’s defensive capabilities, but yesterday Utd were concentrating a lot of their attacks down the Liverpool right and he was getting virtually zero support from any of his teammates. Expecting him to single-handedly defend against two or more attackers is expecting a lot.
