Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville discussed Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold’s position last night on Monday Night Football for Sky Sports. The 22-year-old is arguably one of the best right-backs in the Premier League, if not the best. He is an amazing passer and crosser of the ball, and just registered the 35th assist of his short career this weekend against Leeds United. Trent is a highly gifted full-back whose passing ability is simply exceptional. It has led to many pundits believing that he would be better used playing in midfield. In fact, England boss Gareth Southgate has used him playing in midfield in a recent game which has further fuelled the debate. Carragher says it’s “nonsense” and “madness” to think that the young Liverpudlian would shine in midfield which requires a...

With Leicester City and Chelsea losing against Tottenham and Aston Villa respectively, Liverpool jumped to third in the Premier League table.

He has also showered praise on two players – Thiago Alcantara and Trent Alexander-Arnold – saying the two players have become ‘real leaders’ in the team in the last few weeks. Third in the #PremierLeague for @LFC is remarkable consider...
Jamie Carragher has suggested that he is convinced the idea of the European Super League can be stopped if everyone ‘Keep banging the drum’. Twelver clubs – including six Premier League clubs – wants a break away from the existing system. However, the other 14 clubs are getting ready for the fight. Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin has even called Juventus’ chairman “a liar” and the clubs “snakes”. The Slovenian criticised the attitude of the club owners who he said view the game as a “product” and fans as “consumers”. There were rumours that Jurgen Klopp, the Reds boss, could leave the club at the end of the season if the plan goes ahead. While Klopp has vowed to honour his contract, he has insisted he would try to “sort it somehow” with Fenway Sports Group. The decision from t...
Jamie Carragher has showered heaps of praise on Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold after the Reds beat Aston Villa at Anfield on Saturday. The 22-year-old scored the winning goal in the dying minutes of the match as the Reds came from behind to earn a 2-1 victory on their home turf. The result was a huge relief for the Reds – who were without a win at Anfield for their past six games. They have now picked up three wins in a row in the Premier League to keep their top-four hopes alive.

Jamie Carragher has showered heaps of praise on Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The popular Sky Sports pundit has rightly noted that Calvert-Lewin’s game has improved leaps and bounds under the tutelage of Carlo Ancelotti.

In the past, the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Wayne Rooney, who have excelled at Everton, moved elsewhere on a big-money transfer. Carragher, however, feels that the story will be different. He suggests that Calvert-Lewin must have understood that Ancelotti is building a strong team around him and that there is a solid platform for him to shine. The 24-year-old has been in terrific form this season. He has ...

He also made a bold claim that if Everton don’t qualify for Europe that will be a disappointment, adding anything should possible with an experienced manager like Carlo Ancelotti at the hel...
