English journalist Piers Morgan has slammed Liverpool fans for booing Trent Alexander-Arnold during their 2-2 Premier League draw with Arsenal on Sunday (May 11). The pundit termed the fans ‘pathetic,’ adding that the Englishman, who led them to the league title this season, was one of their longest-serving players.
This was the 26-year-old’s first appearance since confirming his exit at the end of the season. He was introduced in the second half when fans at Anfield made their feelings clear about him. Morgan was not happy with the reaction from the fans and wrote on X:
Rio Ferdinand echoed the same sentiment, writing on X:
Trent Alexander-Arnold announced earlier this month that he would leave the club when his contract expires in June. The right-back is in talks to join Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer.
Jamie Carragher was also not happy with Liverpool fans who booed Trent Alexander-Arnold at Anfield on Sunday. The Reds legend said it could have easily been Alexander-Arnold’s final match at the stadium and that it was not the ideal way to leave.
He said on Sky Sports:
The Reds took a 2-0 lead in the match at Anfield before half time through goals from Cody Gakpo (20′) and Luis Diaz (21′). However, Gabriel Martinelli (47′) and Mikel Merino (70′) scored in the second half to get the Gunners a point from the game.
