Calum Chambers needs to go back to the training ground to work through the problems in his game at present.

Arsenal were all over the show at the back against Liverpool. Chambers is a good player but his confidence at the moment is shot. The crowd are on his case. Every time he makes a mistake, he looks edgy.

Gary Neville said Arsene Wenger has got to play him regularly but in fact he shouldn’t. You can’t start getting beaten because you are throwing in a kid who makes mistakes every week.

Really, he’s got to get over that quickly himself. He settled down in the second half and did a lot better but Arsenal can’t give him a run and risk dropping points at present.

John Terry is at the other end of the spectrum and although he made mistakes on the pitch, he had the strength of character to come through it. Chambers needs that and he will find it because he is a good player. It should only be a blip in a long career for him.
