Even after the England defender scored a fantastic free-kick in a 3-1 victory over Finland, Roy Keane’s criticism of Trent Alexander-Arnold’s defensive performance was unreserved.
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane is not thrilled by Alexander-Arnold’s defensive abilities even if he is successful going forward and has a great free-kick goal against Finland. Regarding his defensive performance, the Liverpool star has been under fire a lot; Keane’s remarks after England’s loss to Greece mirror those worries.
Struggles in the Greece Defeat
Alexander-Arnold faced Keane’s harshest remarks after England’s shock 2-1 loss to Greece, where his defending was put under the microscope. While the right-back has shown immense attacking ability, Keane questioned his defensive reliability. Speaking about Alexander-Arnold’s role, Keane remarked:
“If you saw him the other night [against Greece] defending, it looked like he’d never played right-back before.”
