Liverpool fans debate qualities of Clyne and Alexander-Arnold ahead of new season
Trent Alexander-Arnold burst onto the scene last season as he made the right-back spot his own towards the end of Liverpool’s campaign.
The 19-year-old held his own in Champions League knockout matches against Manchester City, Roma and in the final against Real Madrid.
The Liverpool-born player’s form earned him a spot in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the World Cup in Russia.
As for Nathaniel Clyne, it has been a different story as the 27-year-old spent the majority of the season on the sidelines with injury.

In fact, the England right-back made just five appearances in all competitions and just two of those were Premier League starts.
In an interview with Goal.com, Clyne spoke of his desire to hit the ground running this season and make up for lost time.
If he impresses Jurgen Klopp then he could end up winning back his spot in the first XI, which could negatively affect Alexander-Arnold.
However, at times last season, the manager used the attack-minded full-back as a winger, so perhaps that indicates that the youngster’s future is further up the pitch.
Liverpool fans have been debating the situation on Reddit.
