Liverpool fans are anxious that Trent Alexander-Arnold has clashed with new manager Arne Slot.
Alexander-Arnold appeared upset as he was substituted in the 72nd minute of Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Brentford, following his substitution against Ipswich Town the previous weekend.
Given that he is in the final year of his contract, Alexander-Arnold’s long-term future at Liverpool remains uncertain.
There have been reports that the 25-year-old could join Real Madrid on a free transfer next year.

One fan claimed that Alexander-Arnold needs to ‘grow up’. They wrote: ‘Trent needs to grow up great team performance and has a boss game why put a dampener on it sulking like that slot obviously saving his legs after a solid performance.’
Another added: ‘Doesn’t look like Trent is Slots biggest fan yet.’
Meanwhile, another fan stated that Alexander-Arnold’s reaction was ‘childish’. They wrote: ‘Completely and utterly childish reaction from Trent here, hanging around Bellingham too much, Slot took him off as an injury precaution in a game that was dead and buried.
‘Why is he throwing his toys out of the pram about it? Embarrassing really.’
Another fan wrote that Slot was ‘pushing Trent to Real Madrid’.
Another fan said, ‘I love Trent, but there’s no excuse for him to act like way’.
Another fan remarked on the scenario, writing, ‘Jokes aside, are you worried about Trent’s attitude here, or is it anticipated competitiveness to want to play the entire game?
‘Madrid rumours were slightly worrying at this point with no contract signed, but he was top class today.’
Furthermore, a fan wrote: ‘Trent isn’t happy and I’m 100 per cent certain he’s thinking about that Real Madrid move. Slot isn’t the loving caring father figure that Klopp once was and our players need to adjust to hat. Hoping for the best.’
