Alexander-Arnold: Carvalho has the world at his feet

Trent Alexander-Arnold believes that Fabio Carvalho has all the attributes to reach the very top of the game after the youngster scored his first goal for the club in Liverpool’s thumping 9-0 win against Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.

 

Much of the discussion in the lead-up to this fixture was dominated by Liverpool’s subpar form collecting just two points from the opening three fixtures including a 2-1 defeat to Man United on Monday night.

 

Releasing that trend could not continue if they wanted to put together a concerted push for the league title, the Reds produced a superb attacking display right from kick-off with two goals in the opening six minutes from Luis Diaz and Harvey Elliott and from there it was a avalanche.

 

Roberto Firmino a player beloved by teammates, coaches and fans alike has seen his future at the club questioned in recent times, but he arguably produced one of his finest all-round performances for the club with two goals and a hat-trick of assists.

 

Carvalho came on for fellow young star Elliott at half time and the 19 year-old who has impressed many observers in his early appearances for the club produced a delightful instinctive strike 10 minutes from time in front of the Kop.

 

Speaking after the game (per Metro) Alexander-Arnold who produced a trademark thunderbolt of his own in the first half was full of praise for the Fulham academy graduate.

 

“He’s gelled well with the lads and he’s got the world at his feet. I’m sure he’ll go on to do amazing things.For him it’s about pushing a place into the team and making an impact and today he’s bagged himself a goal.

 

‘He’s built himself a really good foundation for this season so hopefully he can go on and push further."

 

For Carvalho himself, he sensed a performance like that from the team was on the cards after the disappointment of Monday evening per the Official site.

“From the game on Monday we knew what we had to do the next game to get the three points.

 

“It started from training on Tuesday where from the first moment training started I knew something was going to happen because of the mentality, the desire and how well we trained.

 

“I knew something was going to happen today but I didn’t think it was going to be the score it was. Hopefully we can build on that. The different goals just show the quality from each player and as a collective as well, which is the most important thing because a team wins games.”

 

The Portugal U21 star admitted the moment after he scored was a bit of a blur, but he wanted to pay tribute to the fans who have made him feel so welcome since joining the club.

 

“You can see from my celebration I didn’t really know what to do, I just jumped and I was just happy, celebrating. I just wanted to give the fans something back because they have helped so much since I’ve joined, they’ve shown so much love.

 

“Hopefully I’ll be able to show them how thankful I am with my performances and goals.”

He seems a smart lad, intriguingly self-aware - he was delivering a sort of critique of his own interview performance yesterday ('I'm saying "of course" too often') while he was in the middle of it!) - and full of interesting ideas and technical tricks. I'm not sure why he started getting into arguments with their defenders late on in the game, especially after he's only recently seen what happened to Nunez, but he's sharp and positive and he's only going to get better. A very promising signing.

There's nothing wrong in standing up for yourself, which was all he did yesterday. If he starts punching, butting or biting, then we've something to worry about.

Thanks for another fresh and floral nosegay plucked straight from the pages of Sybil Fawlty's Book of the Bleeding Obvious. I'm sure everyone else appreciates them as much as I do. He DID do slightly more than that, yesterday, when the game was already 9-0, which is why I didn't just shrug my shoulders and think, 'There's nothing wrong in standing up for yourself'.

What did he do? I didn't see him do anything wrong.

Talented lad, but I didn’t like his reactions yesterday to contact.

 

Obviously it was a single game, but he was really acting like a petulant fanny. 
 

I’m for gamesmanship, Hamman drawing a tackle then lying down, Agger elbowing Torres, but it wasn’t that. 

Seemed like a Man Utd player at times.

He was clearly charley horsed in the thigh and should have got a pen. Any footballer would react to that.


Bollocks.

 

He was acting the cunt.

Very excited by him. Lighting quick feet, lovely balance and poise on the ball and looks to really have great shooting technique. Think he’ll be a big player for us.


Classy footballer, but you’re not put out by antics?

Couldn’t care less if it gives us any sort of advantage. As much as I hate that Fernandes cunt at United or Big nose cunt Richardislon when he was at blue cunts. I don’t care when it’s one of our players, loved Suarez and defended to the hilt when he was here. Typifies the hypocrisy of football fans I suppose.

Agree with this. Great cameo from him, but I don’t want our players behaving like Bruno Fernandes. 
 

There is subtle - positive - dark arts stuff that would serve him and us much better. Robertson and Jota spring to mind.

Robertson always baits the guy in and laughs him off when he starts square going him.

You need a bit of that. 

 


You don't have to extol the virtue of cheating to me:
 

 

 



I'm for it. Strong proponent of it.

 

Don't like some young lad who only has 5 games under his belt leading the charge; Alisson taking the piss out of Pickford is more my speed.

I think it's a bit different when it's an elite player doing his... professionalism, than it was watching Carvalho.

I don't dislike the guy, but I would want Klopp to get him to cut it out.

It's a fucking disgrace he feels he has to. 

 

Suarez was an outstanding player for this football club, but I'm just reviewing this thread and I'm a little shaken how he so spectacularly bit the wrong man:
 


John Terry had a 55% choice, which is a huge number for a mutli-person vote. It really was obvious who he should bite.
