birminghammail--2020-11-14--Alexander-Arnold says he felt 'powerless' against Adama Traore

Trent Alexander-Arnold has admitted he felt 'powerless ' up against Wolverhampton Wanderers ' Adama Traore last season .
Traore , 24 , enjoyed a wonderful 2019/20 campaign and finished it as one of the Premier League 's top assist makers , with only a handful of players - including Alexander-Arnold - contributing more than the Spaniard 's nine .
His superb form has sparked plenty of transfer interest with virtually every top team in Europe reportedly keeping tabs on Traore , who has been offered a new contract by Wolves .
Liverpool , whose manager Jurgen Klopp dubbed Traore 'unplayable @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his admirers .
Wolves were narrowly beaten in both of their games against Liverpool last season , with the Reds winning 1-0 at Anfield and 2-1 at Molineux .
Traore starred in both matches , especially at Molineux in January where he set up Raul Jimenez to score with a trademark dash down the wing followed by a pinpoint delivery .
And Alexander-Arnold has echoed the thoughts of his manager when it comes to Wolves ' electric winger .
The England right-back was piecing together his perfect footballer for Goal and , perhaps @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 's chosen to fill the speed category .
“ It ’ s almost not human the way he can change direction and go , '' Alexander-Arnold said .
`` I ’ ve never felt so powerless against someone .
“ People are faster than you , that ’ s inevitable , but you can get yourself in good positions , give yourself a head start and get yourself in the race .
But with him , and with his power as well , there ’ s nothing you can really do .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on at Anfield .
He ’ s just turned and knocked it , and he was gone .
I ’ ve never felt like that before !
It has to be him , has to be.

Scientists are warning England could face restrictions after lockdown ends on December 2 .

Tier system
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has insisted the lockdown will end on 2 December, as originally planned.
“These measures – the crucial thing to understand is that they expire on 2 December,” he said during a cabinet meeting.
“They come to an end. And we therefore as a Government and indeed as a country have a deadline and a target to develop solutions which previously did not exist.”
This may mean a return to the tier system where, currently, households in tiers 2 and 3 are banned from mixing.

Full lockdown
England is in full lockdown from November 5 until at least December 2.
If the R rate is not brought down or Covid is not sufficiently reversed, it could be extended.
And it’s possible ministers simply won’t know if there’s enough progress by December 2, because deaths have a long lag time.
MPs would have to vote on any lockdown extension, but it would likely pass because Labour would probably support it.
Uniform rules
The four nations of the UK all have different rules, despite many people having family across borders.
The four administrations are now planning to look at a joint approach to the Christmas period.
They met in a COBRA meeting on Monday morning, in which they “agreed on the importance of coordinating public messaging, in particular on travel both within the UK and abroad.”

birminghammail--2020-11-14--Drivers could be fined for parking outside their home during lockdown

He can only do that on the field of play - where he has had no little success impressing coaches and commentators alike , over the course of five starts and a couple of appearances off the bench .

birminghammail--2020-11-14--Two-player transfer proposal wouldn't make any sense for Villa

With the January transfer window now just weeks away rumours of Manchester United 's interest in Jack Grealish have resurfaced once again .
United 's desire to lure the Aston Villa captain to Old Trafford earlier this year was well documented but it did n't amount to anything more than that and Grealish penned a new five-year contract with his boyhood club on the eve of the 2020/21 season to end immediate speculation over his future .
His performances since the ink dried on that bumper new deal have been breathtaking , with the 25-year-old managing four goals and five @ @ @ @ @ @ @ games to put Villa among the early pace-setters .
He 's also forced his way into the England set-up and put in another top display in the 3-0 win over Republic of Ireland at Wembley on Thursday .
Inevitably , Grealish 's elevation to the international stage has reignited rumours of interest from the corridors of power at Old Trafford .
According to Todofichajes ( via TEAMtalk ) , Grealish is still viewed as the ideal replacement for Paul Pogba .

With the January transfer window now just weeks away rumours of Manchester United's interest in Jack Grealish have resurfaced once again.
United's desire to lure the Aston Villa captain to Old Trafford earlier this year was well documented but it didn't amount to anything more than that and Grealish penned a new five-year contract with his boyhood club on the eve of the 2020/21 season to end immediate speculation over his future.
His performances since the ink dried on that bumper new deal have been breathtaking, with the 25-year-old managing four goals and five assists in his first seven Premier League games to put Villa among the early pace-setters.
He's also forced his way into the England set-up and put in another top display in the 3-0 win over Republic of Ireland at Wembley on Thursday.
