Trent Alexander-Arnold getting bullied at the back post?

Trent Alexander-Arnold is a defender who can't defend.

Fulham who are under former Everton manager Marco Silva have been the better side of the afternoon. They started the game brightly with new signings Palinha and Andreas Perreira a constant threat for Jurgen Klopp's men.

The Reds will be out to make a fast start to their season against the newly-promoted side, and will typically rely on the prowess of Salah in front of goal to help get the job done.
