Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is unsure how to name his new 'inside-fullback' role.

Alexander-Arnold has shone since taking up the new midfield position.

"To be honest, I don't know what you'd call it – people have different terms and different interpretations of it," Alexander-Arnold told Liverpool.com.

“I think I just play it the way the manager tells me to and the way I feel it needs to be played.

“It's getting on the ball more centrally, being able to impact the game in a central area and just having that freedom within there to express myself and help the team win games.

“I think it's been a big effort from a lot of the lads who have been asked to do different things, it's not just me, and I think everyone's adapted to it really well.

“I love a challenge. I love trying and learning new things and I think that's something that I've really enjoyed this last month or so since being given that new role in the team.

“Playing in a different way, learning the different rules that a midfielder or someone in the middle of the pitch has to bring compared to someone out wide – dragging players away, creating space for others, being an option, angles, checking shoulders, there's so much more to it.

“That was all new at the start but it's kind of just felt natural if I'm honest, and I think that's something that is evident – that it just looks and feels natural

“Having that responsibility and feeling that responsibility is something that I thrive off and I love feeling that. Knowing that the team needs me and I need the team to work hand in hand is something that I love."
