Not at all.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Trent has had one difficult game for us [against Man United] and maybe a few that were OK to good. Mainly, he has had great games when he played for us this season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Alexander-Arnold, 26, is out of contract at Anfield this summer. He has been heavily tipped for a move to Spanish giants <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/supercopa-de-espana-real-madrid-vs-barcelona-preview-team-news-potential-xi-h2h-prediction\/\">Real Madrid<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But Arne Slot says people should focus on his quality. In particular, Slot was impressed by his substitute appearance in Liverpool&#8217;s 1-0 EFL Cup defeat to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/holly-shand-fpl-gameweek-21-tips-best-third-forward\/\">Tottenham<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know there is a lot of focus on him at the moment but I would also like to highlight the focus on how well he did when he came on in the last half hour [against Tottenham] and how our fans reacted to him. That is what pleased me even more during that game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool&#8217;s next game is their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/which-fa-cup-third-round-fixtures-live-tv\/\">FA Cup third round<\/a> tie against Accrington Stanley, which kicks off at 12:15pm on Saturday 11 January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool boss Arne Slot has defender Trent Alexander Arnold and says he is not to blame for the goals his side have conceded.
