Liverpool supporters have been in fine voice throughout the current two-week break for internationals after seeing their team pick up a ninth Premier League win of the season last time out.

Jurgen Klopp’s men went into their clash with struggling Fulham off the back of drawing 1-1 with Arsenal in their preceding league encounter, a result which maintained their unbeaten start to the league campaign. And the Reds got back to winning ways at Anfield last time out as goals from Mohamed Salah and Xherdan Shaqiri sealed a routine 2-0 success for the Merseyside giants, thus keeping them just two points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City.

As such, there have been many happy Liverpudlians up and down the country in recent times, several of whom have taken to Twitter in recent times to call for manager Klopp to give right back Nathaniel Clyne another chance in the first team.

And with Trent Alexander-Arnold having not fired on all cylinders so far this season, and Joe Gomez playing too well at centre back to deputise down the right-hand-side, those Reds fans are spot on to call for Klopp to make the bold decision to play the Englishman in the coming weeks.

Ultimately, the 27-year-old made the move to Anfield back in 2015 after seriously impressing on the South Coast with Southampton, what with Clyne following the likes of Adam Lallana and Dejan Lovren the year before in swapping St Mary’s for Merseyside.

And it was proving to be an excellent decision by the defender given he appeared 52 times in all competitions in his first season at the club, with his high-level performances earning him seven England caps in 2015 to underline his rise.

And with 37 Premier League appearances the season after to help Klopp’s side return to the top four, Clyne was at the time one of the best right backs in the Premier League, and very much looked set for a bright future for both club and indeed country.

However, the 27-year-old suffered a back injury during pre-season last year which kept him out for the majority of the campaign, leaving the likes of Alexander-Arnold and Gomez, the former of which went to the World Cup with England, and the latter probably would have done but for injury, to move ahead of him in the pecking order.

And neither have relinquished their places in the right back pecking order given Clyne hasn’t made a matchday squad in the Premier League since their opening day win against West Ham – in fact, the only senior appearance he has made this term came in their Carabao Cup defeat to Chelsea.

Nonetheless, while Alexander-Arnold produced the goods on international duty this week, he has hardly convinced at right back for Liverpool so far this term with several nervy displays, certainly defensively, to the point that Klopp dragged Gomez away from centre back to play right back against Manchester City back in October.

Thus, it seems plainly obvious that Clyne should get the chance to usurp a slightly out-of-form Alexander-Arnold at right back, especially with Gomez excelling alongside van Dijk at centre back – otherwise, his Liverpool career is surely at an end.

And while it would be something of a bold risk for Klopp to take given Clyne hasn’t started a Premier League game since May, one must remember just how impressive a right back the 27-year-old was prior to injury – he won’t have just become a bad player overnight.

Add in the fact that a full fit and firing Clyne would provide stern competition to Alexander-Arnold, thus forcing him to improve upon recent club displays, and it makes sense for Klopp to make the bold call to give £18 million-rated Clyne (as per Transfermarkt) a chance – failure to do so would all but bring his Reds career to a close.
