Chris Sutton rages at Trent Alexander-Arnold Liverpool verdict – ‘Blimey’

Liverpool: So, there’s been a lot of chatter about Trent Alexander-Arnold lately, especially after that game against Manchester United. He didn’t have the best performance, and folks are really laying into him. Chris Sutton, though, thinks it’s a bit over the top.

People are pointing fingers at Trent for not putting in enough effort. There’s this clip going around where he didn’t track back after losing the ball, and yeah, that’s not a good look, especially in a big match like that. But it’s not like he’s been terrible all season.

With all the rumors about him possibly moving to Real Madrid, it’s hard not to wonder if that’s affecting his game. Some fans are worried he’s already checked out, especially since he’s got just a few months left on his contract. But Sutton argues that it’s too soon to jump to conclusions.

Trent did have a great celebration in a recent win, which makes it seem odd if he’s already made up his mind to leave. Liverpool is reportedly trying to keep him with a solid contract offer, so who knows what’s really going on?

Fans have been pretty quick to turn on him, and Sutton thinks that’s unfair. He pointed out that Trent has been a star for Liverpool, and it’s strange to see people wanting him gone after just one bad game. It’s like, come on, give the guy a break!

Of course, it’s not just about one match. The real question is whether Trent is mentally ready to play for Liverpool if he’s got his eyes on Madrid. If he’s not fully committed, maybe it’s time to give someone else a shot.

But Sutton makes a good point: it’s way too early to write off Trent. He’s had a rough game, sure, but he’s earned some leeway from the fans. They’ve backed him through thick and thin, and hopefully, he’ll see that.

In the end, it’s a bit ironic. The backlash might actually push him to make a decision about his future. If he stays quiet, people will assume he’s leaving, but if he speaks up, he might just win back the fans who’ve always had his back.
