Just to be clear it wasn’t Sinclair that made the Xavi reference but one of the BBC live text guys. Here it is,

Liverpool 1-0 Burnley
Trent Alexander-Arnold is a right-back with the passing ability of Xavi, Burnley just cannot get to grips with the range of the Englishman.
Short, long, drilled, floated, he’s got it all.
Ah, that guy absolutely meant Xabi.
Apparently he’s starting in midfield for England tonight

I see from England’s average positions that he was still playing a lot towards the right side.
Was he England’s RCM in a midfield 3? How did he play? Difficult to judge as it was Andorra, but still…
Why do they have to mess around with his position .He is a great RWB let hIm play there. I fully appreciate Trent, just wish he would get a damned haircut. Looks like a scarecrow at the moment.
I love Jurgen…
hahaha.
He’s brilliant.
Said something like “if you watch our games, you’d already notice that we changed his position”. Refering to him playing inside a lot in a few games, a bit like how Pep does with his full backs.
Already said something similar at the start of last season, when he played a bit deeper and tucked inside more than Robbo.
I want to know what Mel has to say about Sadio…
Gary Lineker preparing a passive aggressive tweet for the next time we go one down as we speak.
Imagine being Trent and reading that first quote from Klopp.
He’d wonder why his manager is talking about Wan-Bissaka.
The best fullback in the world…
Great full back but we have Thiago/van Dijk for freekicks -that can go directly at goal- from te left side and Sarah from the right side.
It has become a waste of scoring opportunity’s letting TAA take them.
He played like someone who’s still feeling the consequences of a bad meal. That said, he really shouldn’t be left alone to contest a header at the far post of his goal against three Brentford giants… Credit to Frank for making the most out of Liverpool’s fullbacks high positions, I can’t remember the last time an opposition manager executed it so well. His players were making so many diagonal runs in behind them throughout the match, I don’t think that Klopp’s midfield trio did their best to cover them.
He needs to start earning his free kick duties, not all, but specifically the shot at goal ones.
Maybe discussed in a different thread but Klopp said post match Porto that Trent suffered an injury in training on Monday. He’s listed as out for City match per Training Table.
