sport news Jamie Carragher says Trent Alexander-Arnold is NOT good enough for Liverpool trends now
Jamie Carragher has doubled down on his criticisms of Trent Alexander-Arnold following a heated back-and-forth exchange with a reporter on social media.
The Liverpool legend, after the Reds' 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid, claimed that the England international 'needs serious competition' at right-back in order to get back to his best.
Carragher went full blast on the Liverpool full-back, during his punditry duty for CBS Sports, and insisted that Alexander-Arnold's performances had become 'worrying'.
His comments were met with backlash, as fans listed the many accolades that the 24-year-old has won in his Liverpool career but Carragher quickly fired back and doubled down on his claims.
David Lynch, a reporter for Football Insider, responded to Carragher's comments, and said: 'Clearly, Alexander-Arnold isn’t having his best season (which Liverpool player is?) but we’re talking about a player who has played in three Champions League finals and won every club honour available by the age of 24 here. Bizarre that he is such a lightning rod for criticism.'

Carragher then quickly replied in a series of tweets. He said: 'It’s bizarre you watch this clip & still don’t understand the analysis.
'If Liverpool are attacking more he’s the best to have in that role, if they defend more he’s not. It depends on the quality of the team if his strength or weakness is shown up more.
'You mention what Trent has won, I also do that in the clip & say how proud I am of him & that he has won a lot more than me! But does that mean we can never analyse or critique anyone from this team?!!'
One user on social media was quick to agree with Carragher and claimed that Alexander-Arnold cannot be a 'right-back for a defending team'.
