Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool's assist king.

Trent once again was one of the players with the most assists for Liverpool in the 2022/23 season.

Looking at Trent Alexander-Arnold's first half of the 2022/23 season, it was a turbulent time where he struggled to find his defensive form while also lacking the offensive contributions he is known for. He was criticized by several experts, and even Southgate overlooked him when selecting the England squad. Jurgen Klopp came to Trent's defense multiple times, but the poor defensive performances persisted, and it was clear that Trent's confidence had been affected. Football can turn around quickly, and during 2023, Jurgen Klopp started using Trent in midfield for the build-up play, and it had a positive impact on Liverpool's game and Trent's personal statistics.

From being criticized, experts began to praise his new role, and if we look at his stats from April 9th, which was when the project started, he was the best in the following categories among all players:

Assists: He had the highest number of assists, showcasing his playmaking abilities.

Crosses: He made the most accurate crosses, showing his precision in delivering the ball into dangerous areas.

Chances created: He created the most scoring chances, highlighting his influence in the team's attacking play.
