Liverpool may have won the Premier League title but that did not stop them from shaking up their squad this summer.The Reds might be first in the league right now and have begun their title defence in a decent manner, but people have still been sceptical over their performances.They have been far from convincing to say the least, but due to how much change has occurred in the transfer window, their slow-ish start might be justifiable.Liverpool spent almost £450m, but they also raised over £200m from player sales, with a lot of top-quality players moving on.There is one in particular who caused a stir too and his creativity has certainly been a huge miss, with Eberechi Eze even going as far as saying this player has the best right foot he has ever seen.Photo by Ryan Crockett/DeFodi Images/DeFodi via Getty ImagesOne big criticism so far for Liverpool this season is how they have struggled to create chances, or at least clear-cut opportunities that should more often than not be put in the back of the net.This is rather surprising given the talent they already had and with the arrival of Florian Wirtz, although the German is still yet to really make his mark.One player they might be missing is Trent Alexander-Arnold as, no matter how much Reds fans do not want to admit it, he is one of the best passers of the ball in the world.In fact, new Arsenal signing Eze went as far as to name him as the footballer with the best right foot that he has ever seen, with the Englishman admitting that in an interview with Stadium Astro.READ MORE: Jamie Carragher claims £35m Liverpool player is making Florian Wirtz worse right nowIt is hard to go against this claim either as the right-back proved time and time again just how good he was with his wicked deliveries into the box, something he became synonymous with during his time on Merseyside.Liverpool could have really done with his creative prowess in the opening games of the season and he will certainly be missed, although the likes of Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong are not bad replacements whatsoever.Liverpool need time to adapt to life without Trent Alexander-ArnoldThe scouser was a mainstay in the side for many, many years, meaning that when he is suddenly taken out of the squad, he will be a big miss.Liverpool may not have been as fluid without him just yet, but in their defence, ‘Trent’ is a one-of-a-kind player and nobody can replace him like for like.For example, Mohamed Salah always knew that Alexander-Arnold would be behind him ready to whip in a cross, whereas someone like Frimpong plays very differently. The Dutchman likes to overlap and create a two vs one situation, a much different approach to what was offered before.This does not mean one is better than the other, it just means Liverpool’s style of play has adapted and needs more time to work out, because once it does, they could be unstoppable.
