# Dreadful Alexander-Arnold statistic sums up his current woes

A woeful statistic that arose regarding Trent Alexander-Arnold against Southampton epitomises the form he is currently in.

Liverpool were flat yet again on Monday night, losing 1-0 to Saints, thanks to Danny Ings’ early goal at St Mary’s.

On a night when so many Reds players performed badly, Alexander-Arnold was a strong contender for the worst player on the pitch.

To sum up his evening, it was [revealed](https://twitter.com/Football__Tweet/status/1346210377143607302?s=20) that he lost possession an eye-watering 38 times during the game – the most by any player in the Premier League this season.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

Alexander-Arnold is a wonderful footballer, but he has not been himself for a while now. He only has [two assists](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/318871/Show/Trent-Alexander-Arnold) to his name in 15 league appearances this season and he is cutting a tired figure.

There is no need for an overreaction, however, with every player in history suffering bad spells of form, especially youngsters.

The hope is that Alexander-Arnold can now recharge his batteries, be rested for the FA Cup clash with Aston Villa on Friday and find his best form again in the coming weeks and months.
