Jamie Carragher has urged Liverpool manager Arne Slot to consider sidelining Trent Alexander-Arnold for the remainder of the season. Despite a standout performance against Leicester City, Alexander-Arnold's uncertain future, especially with rumors linking him to Real Madrid, has prompted Carragher's advice. He emphasizes the need to give opportunities to young talent like Conor Bradley, stating that while Alexander-Arnold is an exceptional player with unique qualities akin to Kevin De Bruyne, Liverpool needs to evolve creatively beyond their current right-back options.
The reason we talk about him so much, I think why he's the most talked about full-back we've probably ever seen in the Premier League, is because he's unique, he's different.
So Liverpool need to replace his creativity, they're not going to do that from right-back, they maybe need to that from an attacking midfield position, or maybe a left-wing position.
Conor Bradley shouldn't look at Trent and think, I want to be like him. He's got to be like Andy Robertson was when he was in his prime, a proper full-back.
Despite Alexander-Arnold's match-winning performances, Carragher insists sidelining him for the rest of the season could benefit Liverpool long-term.
