Defeat against Real Madrid in the Champions League saw questions raised over Trent Alexander-Arnold, but while replacing him isn't the answer, the Liverpool right-back could benefit from some support in his position. The Reds' move for Calvin Ramsay suggested that was going to be the case this season. After just 124 minutes of first-team football, and now injured for the remainder of the campaign, his start to life on Merseyside could have gone better. As Jürgen Klopp rotates between and games where Alexander-Arnold is unavailable, it's clear that it is a position on the pitch that could become a priority once Liverpool acquires their midfield target.

But with over 40 games per season and natural fluctuations in form, Liverpool needs to find a quality option that can help ease Alexander-Arnold's workload.



However, if Ramsay requires more time before becoming a regular cover option, acquiring a player in the summer who can help Alexander-Arnold would pay dividends.



But in any case, Klopp can't continue to be forced to come up with solutions from players who aren't ready to play in the system.
