Carragher: Newcastle fullback Trippier better than White

Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher rates Newcastle fullback Kieran Trippier ahead of Arsenal's Ben White.

Carragher was discussing White's decision to reject England selection.

"Rightly so Ben White is fourth or fifth choice to be totally honest," said Carragher on the Overlap. "He's not better than Trent, Walker, Reece James or Trippier. Number one, he's not going to play anyway. I don't think so, he doesn't even play centre-back for his club. He's probably thinking he can relax and get ready for Arsenal.

"I'm talking in general over the last two or three years, not over the last six months.

"Don't just look at this from an Arsenal point of view, Trippier has had a bad three or four months but for the last two or three years he's been a brilliant player for England."
