‘Southgate Has His Favourites’ ‘Let’s Face It We All Know Why’ Liverpool Fans Question Decision To Pick Chelsea Star Ahead Of Trent

Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold was omitted from the squad for England’s game against Germany last night.

Reds supporters on Twitter have been asked why manager Gareth Southgate continues to favour Chelsea’s Reece James ahead of him and they have come up with various reasons:

Some managers simply don’t favour certain players and unfortunately for Alexander-Arnold, it seems that Southgate is not much of a fan.

He may have to wait until a change of manager before he is given a fair run in the side and, considering England’s performances, it’s likely that a new head coach will be in place after the World Cup.

If Alexander-Arnold isn’t included in the squad for the trip to Qatar, most fans will be pleased that the fullback will be given a month’s rest and, hopefully, he can take out his frustration on other clubs when playing for Liverpool in the second half of the season.
