'What's happened this season can't continue': Carragher urges Klopp to sign a new right-back

Trent Alexander-Arnold struggled to keep Vinicius quiet as Liverpool lost 1-0 to Real Madrid in the Champions League Round of 16 game last night.

There have been question marks about Trent's defensive ability over the past season and Jamie Carragher has spoken about why there is a need for Klopp to sign a new right-back.

"What’s happened this season with him lacking defensively can’t continue," Carragher said on CBS Sports. "The problem they have got in that position is they have never had real competition. And one of the reasons why is because he has been so good.

"You think, who do you buy, how much do you spend for someone who is not really going to play every week. Liverpool are at the point now where they have got to go and buy a right-back. It’s Jurgen Klopp’s decision in terms of how good that right-back is and how much he costs.

"But that lad needs serious competition. He has played at that top level, week in week out for five years. He’s done fantastic and I’m so proud of him.

"But he needs help. And at the end of this season, have a long think about where he is at as a right-back."
