Chapter 1: What was the significance of Trent Alexander-Arnold's first Premier League goal?

7.203 - 22.445 Unknown

What a great moment for Trent Alexander-Arnold in front of the Kop here, blasting in his first Premier League goal.

0

23.066 - 35.725 Jamie Redknapp

A night that he will never forget, Trent Alexander-Arnold, just 19 years old. Congratulatory hug from his manager, a 5-0 win as well. Let's hear from him and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain with Patrick Davison.

0

36.363 - 43.335 Patrick Davison

Guys, well played. Trent, first Premier League goal, first Anfield goal. How old were you when you started dreaming about doing that?

0

43.45 - 49.857 Trent Alexander-Arnold

as far as I can remember, to be fair. So, yeah, it's always a dream come true to score at Anfield, and especially to get the win as well.

0

50.317 - 52.459 Patrick Davison

To do it in front of the Kop, does that make it more special?

53.08 - 59.026 Trent Alexander-Arnold

Yeah, definitely. I think I've scored two away from home, so it was always good to get the first one at Anfield, especially at the Kop, yeah.

59.446 - 60.287 Patrick Davison

And you're a Liverpool lad.

60.668 - 63.551 Trent Alexander-Arnold

Family here on Boxing Day? Yeah, whole family's here.

Chapter 2: How did Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain feel after scoring in the 5-0 win?

64.011 - 68.776 Trent Alexander-Arnold

We have a few family members over from America as well, so that made it a bit more special.

0

68.896 - 71.479 Patrick Davison

Well, that's the complete set, isn't it?

0

71.499 - 71.719

Definitely.

0

71.699 - 79.388 Patrick Davison

Alex, first Premier League goal and fill for you as well. Hoping for more, of course, but your night overall?

0

81.791 - 103.556 Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

We won. We got the three points. Personally, I was a bit disappointed with myself today. I'm happy I managed to get the goal in the end, but I just tried to work hard through the 90 minutes and when the chance came at the end, I was happy to put that away. Made it a bit better, but ultimately I think the boys did well again today and I think first half we did okay.

103.856 - 111.847 Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

We knew we had to step it up second half. And I think we did that. And then going forward, we showed what we can do again. But yeah, you asked me why I was shaking my head.

Chapter 3: What tactical mistakes did Swansea make during the match?

112.108 - 117.195 Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

I just want more out of myself. And there was a few moments when I could have done better with my end product. So yeah, that's why.

0

117.615 - 124.605 Patrick Davison

What were those moments? Because honestly, it's really strange to see a player walk over to an interview like this, having won 5-0, having scored, not happy.

0

125.058 - 151.386 Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

We train every day and when you get into certain situations you work hard to get into those positions and in this league they don't come too often and when you get into those areas you want to do better so it was a few times today I could have done better there for sure just overall it could have been better but 5-5-0 for the boys I'm really happy with that and I just want to keep pushing on and keep pushing myself to do better and that's why I'm not too happy

0

151.366 - 155.256 Patrick Davison

Getting the goal is key though, isn't it? Because that's something you really want and need to add to your game.

0

155.436 - 172.974 Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Yeah, it's important for me. Obviously, if that helps the team to win as well, we need that. Today, it wasn't so crucial for the team as we had a good lead. But for myself, I need to keep doing that and Keep getting to goal-scoring opportunities and putting them away. It was some great goals today. Trent next to me, what a goal that was.

Chapter 4: How did Liverpool's attacking performance compare to Swansea's defense?

173.374 - 192.46 Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

I thought he worked really hard to create that opportunity. I think my goal was quite similar in the way that it was rebounding around and I managed to get on the end in the end and finish it. I think there was good quality all round today. We defended well overall. I think it's a positive result off the back of the disappointing draw last game and we can build from here.

0

192.44 - 199.233 Patrick Davison

Trent, last one for you before I let you both go. The manager looked like he had a long chat and he was giving you a big cuddle. What was all that about? Can you tell us what he said at the end there?

0

199.914 - 211.056 Trent Alexander-Arnold

Yeah, he was just obviously really happy with the goal and I think I got an elbow to the face at one point and he said I had to get straight back up unless I had a broken nose, so we had a little bit of a joke about that, but yeah...

0

211.036 - 222.85 Trent Alexander-Arnold

overall the whole team and hopefully the managers happy with the results and I think everyone knows the performance could have been better especially in the first half and we'll work hard to keep grinding out the results.

0

223.191 - 226.26 Patrick Davison

You did get back up in the end well played. Cheers mate thank you cheers.

226.477 - 229.621 Jamie Redknapp

Got back up and got a goal. Two young men, it seems, with a really good attitude for Liverpool.

Chapter 5: What did Jurgen Klopp say about Liverpool's overall performance?

229.641 - 238.073 Jamie Redknapp

We'll come on to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, because that was a really interesting interview he gave Patrick there, but that moment for Trent Alexander-Arnold. Special. You've been there. I have, yeah.

0

238.934 - 256.083 David Jones

Well, his goal was a lot better than mine, trust me. Mine was from about a yard out in the Kop end. It's a special feeling for that young man. It's one of those moments that you remember for the rest of your life. You know, I still, even talking about it now, puts, you know, your hairs on the back of your head, makes them stand up, and a beautiful feeling for him, and I'm, you know, delighted.

0

256.223 - 271.389 David Jones

But it was his all-round performance today. He's a special talent. You know, Jamie said it in commentary, he's got all the attributes to go right to the top, and I'm talking being England's right-back, great athlete... Great touch. He moves effortlessly. The game is so natural to him.

0

Chapter 6: Why was there a sense of disappointment despite Liverpool's victory?

271.549 - 279.178 David Jones

Some of his passing today was brilliant, creating chances and also the goal. Anticipated it really well. The sky's the limit for him, it really is.

0

279.378 - 292.174 Jamie Redknapp

We'll come to his goal. We'll start with Liverpool's really positive start, Jamie. One up after just six minutes. But was there a familiar theme through the three of the first four from Swansea surrendering possession? I mean, even five goals you could probably look at and say that...

0

292.154 - 311.395 David Jones

from Swansea's point of view, really poor. George and I, I don't think he's going to want to watch this today because he was at fault for two or three of the goals. They lose the ball too quickly. But I've just got to stop it there because the little... It's actually quite a nice stop there, Jonesy. Well done. Because there's so many attributes I love about this young man.

0

311.375 - 316.44 David Jones

But what's so important when he touches the ball is he's always under his spell, if you like.

0

Chapter 7: What challenges does Swansea face moving forward after this defeat?

316.46 - 332.194 David Jones

Every time he touches it, it's always where he wants it. That beautiful touch there. That was really fizzed into him as well by Salah. It's not an easy one to take. He gets it on the outside of his foot. He puts it exactly where he wants it. And then he knows once it's there, he can then get that whip on it and put it into the corner.

0

332.214 - 341.382 David Jones

And as soon as he hits it, what I like, he's almost wheeling away because he knows. He knows that I've hit that so well. The keeper has no chance. The first touch is immaculate. Is that what we mean by wrapping?

0

341.362 - 342.303 Jamie Redknapp

The foot round the ball.

0

342.323 - 344.786 David Jones

Yeah, he wraps his foot round it. You know, he gets that extra whip.

0

Chapter 8: What are the implications of this match for both teams' future performances?

345.106 - 361.906 David Jones

And then that keeps it low, you know, because it's one of those that you cannot stop. It's just a beautiful goal. But, again, from Swansea's point of view, poor defending. But you also have to look at the beauty of the goal because he is a special talent and he's just got on with it. He's not complained, he's not moaned since he didn't get his opportunity to go to Barcelona.

0

362.147 - 369.856 David Jones

And if anything, I'd have to say he's probably in the form of his life right now. So if he was, what, however much in the summer... His price is going up, if you ask me.

0

370.077 - 376.526 Jamie Redknapp

Up to £200 million, who knows? His delivery as well for the second, Jamie, and it was really important, the timing of this, wasn't it, for Liverpool? It really was.

0

376.746 - 394.295 David Jones

It was critical for me at half-time, and probably unfairly, actually, because I think he's such a talent, but I just think at times he can be more clinical, he can get even more goals. You know, let's highlight him there. There's the goal scorer, just there, number nine. I'm going to highlight him again. Jordan, are you? Now, you're asking your defence. He's the one at the back.

0

394.596 - 412.016 David Jones

As that ball's going to get played in, whether their line is maybe too high, four or five yards, or too deep, it's almost irrelevant. But once that ball gets played in by Coutinho, it's going to come in with that sort of flight there. you've got to drop as a team. Well, watch IU at the back post. He doesn't drop.

412.696 - 429.411 David Jones

Leaves Firmino with a relatively easy finish, although it's not easy, and he controls it really well into the back of the net. IU number 18, you've got to drop back in for your team. These are basic problems that Swansea have, and it's difficult because even as a manager, you can tell, you can go on and give your message as much as you like.

429.851 - 437.518 David Jones

You know, Paul Clements tried to do it, and I'm sure Leon Britton has said to my players, listen guys, we've got to compete. You've got to make sure you do the basics, and that's a major

437.498 - 460.063 David Jones

problem that's what's costing them did we see that on Trent Alexander Arnold special moment again yeah I mean this is that how do you want to like look at this one because it's so difficult you can look at from Swansea's point of view or you can look at from Liverpool's I think it's unfair actually to look at this well let's look at Liverpool's point of view I love what he does and I'll talk about his anticipation his understanding of the game and

460.263 - 482.76 David Jones

Alexander Arnold, because it is brilliant what he does. He's so exciting to watch this kid, and he's got tremendous pace. I'm just going to stop it just now, because... Hold on, let's go back. Sorry, guys. One second, Jonesy. About there. Because there he is there. There's the goal scorer. You can see him. And there's Jordan Ayew. Now, that's what? Got to be 15 yards, isn't it?
