'Insane' was the phrase Jurgen Klopp used. Roy Keane went for 'sensible' amongst others when he ran the rule over him. Others have their very own superlatives of alternative in relation to Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Strolling out to a raucous Anfield on Thursday night time for his a hundred and fiftieth Premier League look, the 23-year-old can stand tall to make a stable case that, proper now, he is the most effective there's at proper again.
Even traditionally, no one in his place has carried out higher over their first 150 Premier League video games than Alexander-Arnold.
John Arne Riise, previously of Liverpool, Ian Harte and Dan Petrescu are defenders who scored extra targets than Alexander-Arnold's 10 throughout the 150 video games, however add on his 43 assists and he is flying excessive because the No 1.
'I do not know anyone who's like Trent. Who's a right-back and is that decisive and influential and all these type of issues,' supervisor Jurgen Klopp beamed final month.
'I actually do not like at all times after they point out his defending, "defensively he's not that good, but he's offensively better".
'The package deal of Trent is insane.
'It isn't that he delivers on daily basis, there are nonetheless departments the place he can enhance and has to enhance and we are going to work on them and I cannot cease telling him, however the package deal is admittedly fascinating, I might say.
'I am undecided what it means in historical past. Nonetheless 15 years or no matter time to play and to create and to attain and to be taught and enhance however the final 5 years have been an excellent begin in a profession I might say.'
The numbers from his 150 league video games, going again to his first crew debut in 2016 as a sub in opposition to Middlesbrough, are exceptional.
Alexander-Arnold has created 300 probabilities for team-mates and has delivered 279 correct crosses from that proper aspect.
Whereas stats are essential, it's value mentioning that Alexander-Arnold performs profitable soccer, taking 105 wins from these 150 video games.
And the narrative that he's a legal responsibility defensively struggles to face given he has managed 50 clear sheets in the identical interval.
Add in too that throughout 150 league video games he has been culpable for simply two errors resulting in a purpose.
'[He's] completely sensible,' hard-to-please Roy Keane informed Sky Sports activities earlier than Liverpool performed Crystal Palace final month.
'What a participant. Implausible. The stats are completely sensible, sensible participant, native lad guess he cannot consider his luck. [The] probabilities he creates, the assists - unbelievable.
'[He] seems to be like an excellent athlete, a good lad, an excellent participant and all of us get enthusiastic about attacking gamers however to get excited a couple of full-back it is how the sport's modified over the previous couple of years. The total-backs are so essential.
'The assists and positions he will get himself in, he is courageous bought a number of braveness - what an excellent participant.'
One of many greatest compliments that may be paid to Alexander-Arnold is that nothing appears to faze him.
Right here stands a participant that began a Champions League remaining on the age of 19.
He went on to win it a yr later and secured a Premier League winners' medal a yr later. Oh, and to prime it off he is utterly revolutionised the expectations for a modern-day full-back together with his wing-man on the opposite aspect, Andrew Robertson.
The scary factor for Liverpool's rivals is that Alexander-Arnold continues to get higher.
His position has modified considerably this season as he's typically seen drifting into the pocket of the midfield to evaluate his choices, take into consideration an NFL quarterback, given it's Tremendous Bowl week.
Having the licence to interrupt place and launch Liverpool on the assault is invaluable and it's no shock he has already surpassed (10) final season's help return (7) within the league.
His highest help complete within the league for Liverpool got here in 2019-20 when he managed 13 with 4 targets. Halfway by means of February this season and that determine stands at 10 and two.
It mentioned all of it that within the first 45 minutes in opposition to Leicester, Alexander-Arnold had created three probabilities.
For some perspective, Liverpool's different 10 gamers had managed to create two and your entire Leicester crew had additionally managed simply two.
'He is completely different to each full-back on the market,' former Liverpool striker Michael Owen informed BT Sport. 'He may play any place on the market, he is that gifted.'
One of many issues that makes Alexander-Arnold so particular is his supply is, as a rule, spot on, significantly on set-pieces.
It's unattainable to overlook his quick-thinking from the nook in that Champions League tie with Barcelona at Anfield which gave Divock Origi an enviable tap-in.
And it's no shock that Liverpool have scored essentially the most targets from set-pieces within the Premier League this season, edging forward of Chelsea.
Klopp's aspect have netted 12 targets from set-pieces this season - two greater than Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea.
There was Alexander-Arnold's free-kick that was transformed by Sadio Mane to kickstart an eventual 4-0 win over Arsenal again in November or the nook he whipped in for Virgil van Dijk to move in in a 4-0 win away to Southampton.
Liverpool have had their fair proportion of native lads finished good - mainly Steven Gerrard and Robbie Fowler - however Alexander-Arnold has ascended himself to greatness already.
And on the fee he's going, arguing in opposition to him as the most effective proper again on the planet could change into a shedding battle.
