Liverpool fans rightly reserve the right to be disappointed with a poor performance – and Trent Alexander-Arnold was no exception after a 2-2 draw with Manchester United.
Once the game is over, however, it’s on to the next one, and we’re always firmly behind our vice-captain, regardless of the external noise taking place around his contract behind the scenes.
The fullback was dropped for the Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg meeting with Tottenham in London, with Conor Bradley taking his place in the starting-XI.

It goes without saying that he remains one of the finest operators in world football – arguably the best passer of the ball in Europe.
Facing so much pressure from outside and within, it’s reassuring to see Liverpool fans attending Wednesday’s cup clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium making clear their adoration for the 26-year-old.
In footage shared by @kungfunahi on X (formerly Twitter), supporters can be heard telling Trent, ‘Keep your head up, lad – we’re still behind you lad’, ‘Love you, Trent’, and, ‘Come on, Trent’.
