Trent Alexander-Arnold

[Norbs]

When subbed and then later after the game had ended, both times Slot went to congratulate him Trent didnt even make eye contact and did the bare minimum in making contact with him before moving past. Disgusting behaviour. We better be getting a decent fee fro him or hes going on the shelf with Mcmanaman for me.

He does look very cold off the fieldbut he's been happy enough on it. Maybe he's been told to zone out of things to avoid hearing ****

[Norbs]

To add to this, his demeanour could be because he wants to stay but the club is refusing to meet his demands. That'd be why he's being surly with Slot as he thinks it's his decision. Who knows

[Scratch]

Might just be he feels slighted; he comes off when we are trying to protect a lead, which shows that Slot wants him on the field for his offensive capabilities, but trusts Gomez more when it comes to shutting up shop. Could be he perceives that as a dig at his defending.

[Norbs]

He needs to be a little less sensitive in that case, he's a multimillionaire ffs

[Buzzo]

I think his demeanour has always been like this, he is relatively low energy in terms of gesticulation and theatrics. There is radio silence on his contract but I don’t think we can read much into his demeanour. Madness lies down this path.

All the positive talk by the LFC media machine related to VVD & Mo, makes me think we will get 2 positives & then TAA will announce he is off.

Or they are putting pressure on TAA by letting Virgil announce that conversations have commenced well ahead of the January window... The media will defo ask if he has started his renegotiation the next time he is interviewed, they will be falling over themselves to get the scoop one way or the other.

I think most would take those 2 out of 3 if pushed to choose

VVD's statement was pretty much one that takes the pressure off the player and club too.


TAA should really do something similar, maybe something like a spruced up version of

Yes communication is ongoing at present, but too early to say how close things are or are not. An official statement will be given when there is actual news.

Otherwise he best get used to having to say no comment a lot to journos and be drawing more attention as a result.

Did see that in Spain it was reported that he has told the club behind closed doors that he has no interest in signing a new contract but that he wishes for it not to be made public at present. Now it is the likes of Marca and similar rag publications that are reporting it along with the Sports tv shows there, but is the sort of things the media in the UK would run with too if there is nothing but silence on it

To be fair, Trent has already commented

"I have been at the club 20 years now. I have signed four or five contract extensions and none of those have been played out in public - and this one won't be either."

There's not much more to say until there's something decisive either way.

After VVD's statement I think it will now play out in public whether TAA wants it to or not.

Just think it makes more sense for him to take control of that rather than let the media set the narrative.


Oh the three guys with 8 months left, he is the one that would be more of a faux scandal for the media to create.

Local boy playing for his hometown club, English, new manager, the stuff in the Spanish media ( which Sky Sports picked up on over the weekend too).

Plenty of ingredients for a media that lives off of click bait.

That place is a viper’s nest, full of egocentric narcissists…… avoid!

Big distinction between tabloid speculation/clickbait and actual briefings or updates from Trent and his camp though.

Trent's told us there won't be any of the latter.

He would be going from Vice Captain to prospective bench warmer, they might be winning trophies, but he would probably be a squad player at Real.

That's why we need to rescue Camavinga, Tchoo Tchoo and Vini jr. Bring to a team where they will be loved.


And no I don't care where they will all fit in the team, I just want them all playing for Liverpool.

Actually I do know where to play them.


Vini jr is wide left. Diaz is sold.

Trainset plays in the pivot with Gravy. MacAllister and Jones compete for the other spot.

And Camavinga I fogot can play left back almost as well as he can play in midfield, so he goes there.


Now I have seemlessly saved them from the pit of snippy vipers
