Played on a training pitch, yes I know the reasons but a game of this stature? I'm a firm believer that fans still won't be allowed back next season either. Is this the future, watching your team to the backdrop of the training pitch to save costs? Would it matter to you even? The backdrop of the ground even empty is all the fans have to cling onto and relate to and I can see this being taken away to save pennies.
TAA has been the best right back in the world over the last 2 and a half years in my opinion. England are better with him in the team. If we don't pick him we're a poorer team for it and have less chance of doing well this summer.

I agree that TAA has been astounding for a couple of years now, but he has something in common with another great young European talent, Jason Sancho - he’s done nothing for England so far in his young career. Plenty of time to change that, but he’s not brought his Liverpool form onto the international scene as yet.

TAA is a very good young player who has suffered a dip this season due to many reasons. Covid, all of the injuries Liverpool have had and burnout possibly.
I agree that for 18 months he was probably the best RB in the world. But that has only come from operating in a system built for full backs. When VVD is fit and Fabinho and Henderson are in midfield, TAA and Robertson can just fly forward knowing the space behind them will be covered.
Full backs love playing for Klopp. Look at the likes of Piszczek and Schmelzer who both looked world class under Klopp at Dortmund. Once Klopp left and the system changed, their deficiencies were shown up.
Would I have TAA in the England squad? Yes.
Would I start him? Probably not and definitely not in a knock out match. With Rice injured and Maguire and Stones at CB, TAA at RB would be too exposed.
Although Kyle Walker is an accident waiting to happen. I haven’t forgiven Trippier for limping off against Croatia (leaving us with ten men) and then playing in the 3rd place playoff a couple of days later. Reece James is even more raw than TAA.

If you want a defensive right back, what about Wan-Bissaka?
A defensive right back?! What will they think of next?
Through the door there came familiar laughter, I saw your face and heard you call my name. Oh my friend we're older but no wiser, For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
