Trent Alexander-Arnold already has the Liverpool competition Jamie Carragher called for

There has been plenty said about Trent Alexander-Arnold in recent days and weeks.

Shortly after the defeat to Real Madrid last week, Jamie Carragher spoke at length over the lack of competition Trent has had at right-back and that Liverpool need to consider changing that to bring the best out of him. Speaking from experience, having pressure on you helps as a player. That competition used to make me play better for Liverpool because you know there are others waiting to take your place.

In terms of the lack of competition in Trent's position, Joe Gomez will probably end up become a permanent right-back in my eyes after the challenges he has faced in central defence at times and I think he could do really well there. Calvin Ramsay, meanwhile, hasn’t had the chance to prove himself due to injury and has been rather unfortunate.
