Klopp has been urged to deploy Calvin Ramsay at right-back if he wants to use Trent Alexander-Arnold in a new midfield role.
Klopp has been urged to deploy Calvin Ramsay at right-back if he wants to use Trent Alexander-Arnold in a new midfield role.
Ramsay was signed from Aberdeen in the summer, but has been unable to get a look-in thus far.
John Barnes believes a positional switch for Trent could be the way forward, which also hands a chance to the young Scot.
Barnes:
“I think this will depend upon if Liverpool keep playing the same way and have Trent playing in this inverted midfielder role or just use him as a midfielder going forward. If they use Trent as an out and out midfielder there could be some space for Calvin Ramsey.
“When Trent does go into midfield from right back we have been exposed down the right side. If Calvin does come in next season it will mean that one of the three midfield players will need to drop out which could mess with the dynamic of the rest of the team. Calvin has been unlucky with injuries.”
"We all know his defending isn't good enough - and I don't think it will ever be good enough. We're talking about a player who's played 260 games now - it is not going to massively improve. When Liverpool drop off and aren't one of the best in Europe, now they're one of the pack.
"They now do more defending, less attacking. You see the worst traits of Trent and not his strengths going forward and that's a massive problem. If Liverpool are trying to qualify for the Champions League on a yearly basis, I'm not sure Trent is your man at right-back. If they get back to being one of Europe's best, then he is your man, but right now he needs help."
