sport news Liverpool fans savage 'just AWFUL' Trent Alexander-Arnold after display in 3-3 ... trends now
Trent Alexander-Arnold's performance in Liverpool's Premier League eventful clash with Brighton has come under criticism from some fans on Twitter.
It follows on from Jurgen Klopp saying the 23-year-old is 'not a good defender', in the build-up to the 3-3 draw, and after his omission from recent England matches in favour of Chelsea's Reece James.
Alexander-Arnold was in Liverpool's starting 11 for the Brighton match, and they went two nil down in the first half. Whilst the Reds did turn it around to lead at one point, they were pegged back when Brighton's Leandro Trossard scored his hattrick goal with seven minutes to play.
One Twitter user wrote: 'Never, please never play Trent Alexander-Arnold at RB. He's our [Jude] Bellingham. He's the midfielder we need so bad. TAA is one of's best player but he's far, far away from a defender. Awful. It's expected, who'd like to see Thiago play RB? [Mo] Salah play LB?'
'Alexander-Arnold was brutal all day! His head’s gone, confidence at an all time low. How many times does he let players run off his shoulder without him seeing it?' wrote another Liverpool fan.
Trent Alexander-Arnold played all 90 minutes of Liverpool's 3-3 draw at home to Brighton
There was widespread criticism of Alexander-Arnold's performance across Twitter users
Alexander-Arnold's misplaced header, and then an unfortunate slip, opened the door for Trossard to get the opener fpr the Seagulls within just four minutes.
In response to that goal, someone wrote: 'Klopp defended Trent just for him to come and do this next game', and another responded, 'Just awful from 3 red shirts here. Trent not getting ball side of his man, the other 2 liverpool defenders letting Brighton re-possess. Pitiful.'
He was not the only defender to come under scrutiny in the eventful draw, with Jordan Henderson also drawing ire. 'The decision making of Trent is awful lately and Henderson man,' one fan wrote.
