Liverpool currently locked in a bitter clash with Inter Milan at the San Siro in the first leg of their Champions League tie.

In a pulsating match, Sadio Mane has come closest for the away side, while Hakan Calhanoglu hit the underside of the bar for Inzaghi’s side.

46′ – @Inter get the second-half underway. One change for the Reds at the break, with Jota replaced by Firmino.

And to begin the second half, the Reds faced a barrage from the home side, although they failed to make their dominance count over Jurgen Klopp’s side.

That did not stop Liverpool fans singling out one player for criticism as their side were firmly on the ropes.

Trent Alexander Arnold hung out to dry

The man in question? Full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The defender has never been renowned for his defensive prowess, but struggled especially against the veteran wide man Ivan Perisic in the opening stages of the second half.

And social media users didn’t hold back, as the tweets below show.

Now you know why Southgate doesn’t trust trent alexander Arnold

Actually terrified by the thought of Trent Alexander-Arnold lining up against some of the better wingers that remain in these UCL knockout stages. #UCL

Has Trent got anywhere near Perisic tonight? Never seen him undone so comprehensively for ages, if ever.
