Man City lose to LiverpoolDoku disappointed by defeatMakes Alexander-Arnold jibeFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
The Belgian winger ran rings around Liverpool's Alexander-Arnold at the weekend but it was not enough as City fell to a 2-0 defeat at the Etihad. While the 22-year-old called on his team-mates to do more in attack, he pointed out he passed Alexander-Arnold "a lot of times".

He said, via Liverpool Echo: "I passed him [Alexander-Arnold] a lot of times but it was then the final pass or I don't know. The most important thing after passing is to create something from it, and I played some good balls in front of the goal but we have to score. We have to analyse the game and see what I can do better and what we can do better as a team."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Alexander-Arnold's defensive skills have repeatedly been questioned over his career but in the end, Liverpool beat City and are 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League. Arguably, Doku needs to add more goals and assists to his game, in addition to beating players.
