Liverpool ace Trent Alexander-Arnold has certainly faced the most criticism of his career so far this season in the Premier League.
But on Tuesday night, he once again showed why he's one of the best attacking full-backs in the world with a stunning goal against Rangers in the Champions League.
Former Liverpool right-back Glen Johnson spoke exclusively to BoyleSports about Alexander-Arnold, the Reds' stuttering form and facing Arsenal this weekend in the Premier League, below!

To perform at that level for that long takes a lot out of you. It's a bit of a hangover from the last 18 months, it's hard to pick yourself up and get back to that level.
They need to pick themselves up soon, otherwise, they won't be anywhere near that level.

This is the biggest doubt they've had, it's certainly his toughest period, but Klopp is a top manager and has a good squad.
Once everyone is fit and the players get that fire back in their bellies, they need to start winning games very quickly.
The players are more capable, Liverpool just need a bigger squad in general because they're going to a lot of finals, which is a lot of games, and for that, you need a lot of fresh legs.
Obviously, Jude Bellingham is the one, whether that is realistic or not, nobody knows. Outside of that, they need another top two midfielders.
He's not been himself, but he's set the bar so high it's impossible to maintain. The performances have been okay, but not as good as what he's capable of.
Everyone always looks to blame people and it's not always someone's fault. There are loads of Liverpool players who are not performing to their standards at the moment. Alexander-Arnold has set the bar so high, I just think he's an easy target.

KLOPP'S TOUGHEST SPELL AT ANFIELD?
Yes definitely. At the beginning, he was given time to build his team, in recent years they've been in finals left, right and centre, winning trophies.This is the biggest doubt they've had, it's certainly his toughest period, but Klopp is a top manager and has a good squad.
Once everyone is fit and the players get that fire back in their bellies, they need to start winning games very quickly.
WHAT IS MISSING FROM LIVERPOOL'S TEAM?
Of course, there are players that can strengthen the Liverpool side, they need a midfielder or two to get the energy and legs back in there.The players are more capable, Liverpool just need a bigger squad in general because they're going to a lot of finals, which is a lot of games, and for that, you need a lot of fresh legs.
Obviously, Jude Bellingham is the one, whether that is realistic or not, nobody knows. Outside of that, they need another top two midfielders.
ALEXANDER-ARNOLD'S PERFORMANCES
Trent is still struggling for confidence, he's put in some solid performances. He's one of those who come under a huge amount of criticism which is not just, to be honest.He's not been himself, but he's set the bar so high it's impossible to maintain. The performances have been okay, but not as good as what he's capable of.
