Liverpool: What are the key questions facing Arne slot?

Due to the attacking threat that he runs, the absence of Trent Alexander-Arnold will always affect Liverpool when he moved to Real Madrid.

The right back scored 23 goals and 92 assists in 354 appearances for the club and slot struggled to fill the gap.

Jeremie Frimpong is thought to be first choice, given his £29.5m summer arrival, but the Dutchman is competing for minutes with Conor Bradley and midfielder szoboszlai.

That right flank is where Liverpool are most exposed, with 38.1% of attacks coming down the third.

Frimpong and Bradley are both full-backs who like to push forward, but that means they often leave space behind that is exploited during counter-attacks, while Salah’s lack of involvement in tracking back leaves them even more exposed.

Chelsea’s winner against Liverpool on October 4 was the result of an overmatch from that side, while it was Szoboszlai who headed home a NETHESED corner that netted Manchester United a winner on Sunday.

“The right back situation is a mess,” former Premier League striker Chris Sutton said on BBC Radio 5’s Monday Night Live.

“Szoboszlai is their best midfielder, so playing him there kills him. And I’m not worried about what it would cost to return right there?

Former Reds Full-Back Warnock said: “Conor Bradley has always been first choice this season.

“But he is not the opposite. People will understand now how good Trent is and how consistent. Frimpong was signed as a utility player, not a defender.” He is not a protector. “
