Liverpool manager Arne Slot has addressed criticism directed at right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, stating that while he recognises patterns in the goals his team concedes, the blame cannot be placed on Alexander-Arnold.
The England international faced heavy scrutiny after Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw by Manchester United on Sunday.
United's first goal came through Lisandro Martinez following an attack down Liverpool's right, and their second was from Amad Diallo, who converted a cross from the same side.
Football statisticians Opta noted that Liverpool's opponents have 44% of their attacking touches in the left third, which corresponds to Liverpool's right-hand side.
