Liverpool's best ever XI ... The right-back 🤜 | OneFootball

With the football on hold at the moment, we’ve been thinking about who gets in Liverpool’s all-time XI.

Today we’re choosing the right-back.

Here are the nominees …

3rd – Steve Finnan

This may seem like a bit of an obscure choice but please bear with us.

Finnan was an unsung hero in the Liverpool team that won the Champions League in 2005, despite even being taken off at half-time in the final against Milan.

Always reliable in defence, and a strong option going forward – Finnan wasn’t fancy but will be remembered fondly for attributing to the success of a Liverpool side that brought home the biggest trophy in European football.

2nd – Trent Alexander-Arnold

It is still early days in Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Liverpool career but what a time he has had so far.

There are still doubts over whether TAA’s position will remain on the right side of defence in the long-term but so he has brought explosive new skills to the role.

Acting as a playmaker for the team, Alexander-Arnold has produced 12 assists in each of the last two seasons and broke the record for most assists from a defender in a Premier League campaign last season.

With a Champions League winners’ medal around his next and impending Premier League title to go alongside it, it’s just the start for the 21-year-old.

1st- Phil Neal

Phil Neal represented Liverpool for over a decade and made the right-back spot his own in a team that dominated English football.

Neal remains one of the most successful English players of all time with 23 titles to his name.

Liverpool won the European Cup four times between 1977 and 1984 with Neal playing a pivotal part at right-back.

With eight goals from defence in 1982/83, he wasn’t bad going the other way either.

Here’s how the team is looking so far …
