Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock has claimed that Andrew Robertson is the best left in the world and also praised right back Trent Alexander Arnold as well.
Liverpool tasted success in the Champions League this season following a 2-0 win over Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur in the final and brought the European Cup back to Anfield for the sixth time in their illustrious history. And two players that were imperative throughout the 2018-19 campaign were Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander Arnold.
The highly energetic and high flying full-backs provided a flurry of assists and former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock has been heavily impressed with the two Liverpool stars. While speaking to clubs official website, the 37-year-old former England international said, “Both Andy and Trent on the other side had incredible seasons, I think last season with the protection that Andy got from the midfielders, whether that be Fabinho, James Milner, Gini Wijnaldum or Jordan Henderson, he knew he was able to make those runs forward without leaving gaps behind him.”
Warnock went on to further explain that Robertson is arguably the best left back in the world because he can attack and defend extremely well, “But the one thing you see with Robbo and Trent is they don’t panic and they have composure; they slow themselves down in those positions and their quality comes out. The biggest thing for me with Robbo is – and I know everyone talks about his assists and quality going forward – defensively he is superb. Your modern day full-back can often attack, but can he defend? Robbo can do both comfortably and for me, and I’ve said it before, he is arguably the best left-back in the world at the moment.”
