The G in Gerrard:
Don't know how Carra and Neville chose Declan Rice as young player of the season ahead of Trent.

To be fair, it's ridiculous to pick either of them for that award. Trent has played 160 games for Liverpool and Rice has played 166 for West Ham, they're both very established players and 23 is not young in today's game. It would be far better to limit it to players who have played fewer than say 50 games at the start of the season rather than just having an age limit.

--- Quote ---Trent Alexander-Arnold one of world's best right-backs - Cafu
World Cup-winning Brazil captain Cafu says Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold is "one of the best right-backs in the world" and that the Englishman's style of play reminds him of his own.
Alexander-Arnold, 23, has had another stellar season with the Reds as they remain in the hunt for four trophies.
Liverpool have won two domestic cups so far and are in contention to claim the Premier League and Champions League.
Cafu said Alexander-Arnold's progress since his debut has been "amazing".
The Liverpool academy product has been a mainstay during Jurgen Klopp's reign, playing more than 200 games since breaking into the first team in the 2016-17 season.
He has had another productive season, providing 19 assists in all competition as well as scoring twice, lifting silverware in the League Cup and FA Cup.
The next week will decide whether Liverpool can do what no other English team has done and win all four major trophies in a single season. They host Wolves on the final day of the top flight on Sunday and face Real Madrid in Paris the following Saturday.
Cafu, who spent most of his career in Serie A with Roma and AC Milan, told BBC Sport: "I have been following Alexander-Arnold and the campaign he has had at Liverpool. His progress over the last few years has been amazing and for sure is one of the best right-backs in the world.
"He is young, strong and has developed hugely considering his age. He also has a lot of experience and I see a lot of similarities between him and myself.
"We both had a will and commitment to attack, to go forward and have the boldness to shoot and to put the crosses in. The diagonal movements he makes on the pitch are also similar to what I was making as a player."

Carra and Neville voting for someone as young player of the year isn't an 'award' though.
PFA Young Player of the Year is now limited to players that must have been aged 21 or under as of 1 July immediately preceding the start of the season. Harry Kane was nominated when he was 24 before they change the criteria.
