Speaking on the No Tippy Tappy Football Podcast on Alexander-Arnold heading to the World Cup with the Three Lions, Allardyce said: "If they're all fit I have to go with how they're playing now. "Trent isn't playing great. I love him, he's an unbelievable footballer, but nobody has taught him how to defend, I've said that before. "It's not as important as it was in our day, in our day it was the most important thing, but now it's secondary."
