Trent Alexander-Arnold

[labourRed]

He lined his pockets, he can take the consequences. Sad to have ended that way mind you.

[Buzzo]

I also think as supporters of one of the most successful clubs in world football we find ourselves in a fairly privileged position. This sort of thing doesn’t often happen often to us, in fact we exploit the rule more often than it works against us. Other clubs throughout football have this happen all the time. It’s really getting into the core tribal aspects of football ‘one of us’ or not. The profile and then the fact that we get nothing is what makes it feel exceptional. Coutinho was a good barometer for Trent - we got £140m for him and he was hated.

I’m pretty fascinated to see what the reaction will be when he picks up his medal.

[Exiled_red]

As much as we have been drawn against them largely the only impact he would have on us is when we play against them,if a player moves to another PL team who are a title rival the players impact affects the other teams performance every week. Even with the new CL league format it is unlikely to have much of an impact on us.

I think there is a dislike or even hatred of Madrid from some quarters due to the 2 finals, injury to Salah in the first one and how lucky they were in the 2nd. But I wouldn't really call it a rivalry.

I don't like what Trent has done, I have alot of issues with not just leaving on a free but other things in the way he has gone about things but we as club don't boo those representing us if you think back to Hodgson, we chanted 'Hodgson for England' rather than 'Hodgson out' because that's not who we are. In booing Trent we have let ourselves down

Hearing Wright and Owen talk about the booing was fairly interesting. Wright kept going on how it was absolutely disgusting, digging the knife in as much as he could saying fans dont do that etc. He forgets how arsenal fans would boo Kolo non stop, and he only left them because his contract wouldnt get extended. Nice memory Ian you wank!

Owen said he was disappointed but not surprised at the booking since he and mcmanaman went through the same thing. Kept saying how it devastated him and he was in tears at the time and expects trent to be in the same state. He touched on how sometimes footballers want to experience something new and dont want to regret never having tried it. Trents won everything, been with us for a very long time, and if he wants to try something out before his limited time in football is up then why not. But it'll probably affect him for the rest of his career how he was treated and will probably be treated in future since owen claims he still cant get over how people think of him etc.

What he still doesnt understand is not that he or trent are leaving. But its real madrid. Its winding down your contract to try and leave on a free. Its stringing the fans till almost the last day. And its being a local lad and doing all of the above. Thats what the booing is about. Its not rocket science. If you do something like that then past experiences of other players should pretty much tell you your name is mud forever more and you've tarnished your reputation. If you think the experience and money is worth that then cool. But dont sulk about it later like its some huge injustice.

I think people also forget that we are a truly global brand and fight on a European wide front. He's signed for a rival, it's not like he's gone to America or rhe Middle East

What he's done is worse than had he signed for Man Utd, seeing that they pose no immediate challenge to anything we're contesting

Absolutely, we seem to match up with Real regularly now and there is definite European rivalry, he made a selfish, dick move that benefits Real directly and weakens our position, he can face the consequences tbh.

[Myo]

It's unprecedented. I don't ever remember it happening before to one of our players.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but when you're in the stadium you should either support the team or shut up imo.

It's the kind of small time behaviour we'd laugh at if it was a rival team. We should be above that.

Absolutely agree,

Felt it was so classless...

How long has trent been flashing balls to Madrid, at least a year, and almost certainly more.
If he'd have signed an extension a couple of years ago then maybe Madrid wouldn't have been willing to pay a transfer fee.
He's chose this path, following madrids instructions to get them a bargain and ensure he got what he wanted.
That's up to him, but a bit sly on the "club he loves" so whatever comes his way is all down to him.
Great to hear the crowd sing for Connor, but booing trent isn't needed.

The booing was small time. It was much better to sing One Conor Bradley as loud as you can - same impact in terms of letting him know how we feel now.

[Norbs]

This. Simple, this is rare because players don't do this, it's a **** thing to do.

Trent has weakened us in the transfer market by limiting the amount we have to spend to replace him. He's a snake

This. Simple, this is rare because players don't do this, it's a **** thing to do.

[Charly]

Reminds me at the end of Souness' reign, I remember half the crowd chanting his name and then a huge BOOOOOO!!! from around the stadium... thought I would sit that one out.

[frank the tank]

I'm not sure that's how the relationship works. Selection isn't a reward for good behaviour, it is for the benefit of the team on the pitch. I would imagine that there are two factors that lead to his inclusion today, the first being that slot didn't want Bradley to play 90 mins and the second being that Trent was more likely to help us get a result that the alternatives on the bench.

The league is won though.

Trent shouldn't even be in the squad imo. I'd prefer some young fella to get experience rather than Trent. Because that is better for lfc.

[vlahka]

I'm pretty sure most of the boos were just in response to him deciding to leave and the way he did it. They bood some but later people clapped him on. So it was more letting him know we arent happy and actually being able to get that chance unlike the rest who left on the last day without saying anything. I doubt there will be boos in the next couple games. Getting it out of the system so to speak. Otherwise they would have bood him straight to the end.

[rudedog]

do not undersand how he deserves a plaxe in the 18 above others TBH.

Simple really

Did you boo?
