Jamie Carragher has named the one thing that could cost Liverpool the title this season

Jamie Carragher reckons Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson could end up costing Liverpool the title.

Speaking on The Gary Neville Podcast after the game, Carragher urged his former club to "change" both Alexander-Arnold and Robertson, 30, if the situation doesn't improve.

"It's a worry that it [links to Real Madrid] could be affecting him," he said.



"And listen, people always target Trent Alexander-Arnold defensively, that won't change.

"But what will be really interesting going forward now is if it does affect him - as it looked like it did today - Liverpool will have to change it.

Liverpool create more chances and score more goals, but Liverpool in the full-back areas [aren't good enough].

"Andy Robertson is hanging on for dear life.

He's been an absolute legend for this club, but even the Amad goal, Robertson three or four years ago [would have dealt with it].

"I've been in that position, it just feels like he's involved in a lot of goals [that Liverpool concede] now Andy Robertson, we've been there as players, half a yard short.

"Now if Trent is having problems at right back as well, that puts an awful lot of pressure on the middle two [defenders], and Van Dijk, you think of how many times he pulled Liverpool out of the rubbish today in terms of coming across, he's probably having to work too hard.

"We talk about how brilliant Trent is going forward, but Trent's defending today, my goodness, it was like schoolboy stuff," the Irishman said.

"They're talking about him going to Real Madrid, the way he's defending, he's going to Tranmere Rovers after this.
