@AnfieldSector But we want Isak…Newcastle played us into buying him so we can leave Isak alone 🤣 May as well keep Nunez and spend the money elsewhere

Unbelievable stat. 🤣😭

No European pedigree.

[J @BigJamzLdn]

Trent is a club legend. Won it all for us as a key contributor. Get a grip.

[Match of the Day @BBCMOTD]

Arne Slot proved his doubters wrong! 🤫

@LFC the best team in England is Scouse.

How is that not a red card

Liverpool Football Club are bigger than any player. They have lost elite players before and carried on. Keegan leaves, Dalglish arrives, the trophies continue. When a player leaves, it opens an opportunity for another, either promoted from within or expertly recruited.

Liverpool are very good at player development and player recruitment. Conor Bradley is still only 21, and obviously not yet in Trent Alexander-Arnold’s class, especially passing, but he showed his talent against, amongst others, Chelsea in Jan 2021 (one goal, two assists) and against Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe (that tackle). Bradley’s unfazed by occasion or opposition. He invariably steps up whenever stepping in for Alexander-Arnold.

Alexander-Arnold is being criticised by some Liverpool fans not only for the decision, barring a late U-turn to join Real this summer, but for the manner of the process behind his exit. The free transfer, the silence. There’s very rarely a smooth, seamless, accepted way to leave a club. Show me the acrimony. Fans feel let down, spurned.

But it needs recording and remembering that Alexander-Arnold has played well this season even with all the distraction of Real’s interest. Now 26, he’s given so much to Liverpool over a decade. And he’ll leave, having contributed to Liverpool being champions again.

Just as he contributed to their previous title success. To their Champions League success. To their FA Cup and EFL Cup success. Alexander-Arnold has represented his boyhood love with skill, boldness, pride and passion on 349 occasions, scoring 22 times and assisting 86 goals. He's contributed fully. He’s also represented the Club well off the field, committed to local community initiatives.

Liverpool are a great club, on the up under Arne Slot, but Alexander-Arnold will be joining the biggest club in the world. The lure of Real Madrid is obvious. Bernabeu, his mate Bellingham, Mbappe, Vinicius Jr, Ancelotti, possibly Xabi Alonso next, their need for a younger right-back with Dani Carvajal 33.

As Alexander-Arnold gets on with his career at Real, Liverpool will get on with next season - their 134th. A few tears will be shed, a few angry words will be unleashed but life will go on. #LFC

@LFCApproved Grow up 🤣

[J @BigJamzLdn]

Why would Trent stay? You guys are only 12 months away from saying Bradley is better than him anyway. I can see it already

[Michael 'Buck' Maris @buckotb]

Trent leaves with my blessing and it’s fine. The club didn’t sort out 3 of their top players contracts on time. If Trent was not performing then the club would sell him. Nothing wrong with him wanting to try something new. Why not. Just go win us the league this season 😤😤
