Liverpool players apparently had to be separated in a tense encounter in the dressing room after yesterday’s frustrating 2-2 draw with Manchester United.
Rumours circulating on social media suggest that all is not well inside the Liverpool squad right now, with Trent Alexander-Arnold’s uncertain future perhaps starting to unsettle the rest of the team.
Alexander-Arnold didn’t have his best game yesterday and it was clear at one point that Virgil van Dijk was not at all happy with his teammate.

It remains to be seen how reliable these rumours are, but plenty of high-profile accounts all seem to be saying similar things about a negative reaction to yesterday’s game and concerns about Alexander-Arnold’s contract situation dragging on and becoming a distraction…

Liverpool will undoubtedly look back at this as a hugely frustrating two points dropped, with Arne Slot’s side going into the game against Man Utd as the major favourites.
Before the game there was talk of possibly repeating something similar to that 7-0 thrashing of a couple of years ago, but United spoiled the party somewhat with a surprisingly resolute display.
Do Liverpool need to put off-the-pitch matters to bed?
Liverpool have been pretty flawless on the pitch this season, with Slot doing a superb job since taking over from Jurgen Klopp in the summer.

There is surely no need to panic just yet, but if the atmosphere in the LFC dressing room really isn’t that good due to these long-running contract sagas, then it could perhaps start to be a problem soon.
Alexander-Arnold seems like the biggest concern, and he was particularly poor against the Red Devils yesterday, but it’s also the case that Mohamed Salah and Van Dijk are yet to agree new deals.
This is surely something Slot and everyone else at Liverpool will want to quieten down as soon as possible, so it will be interesting to watch how performances and results continue if this remains unresolved.
TAA should go now. LFC should have accepted the the Madrid bid for him. It’s obvious that TAA is now a divisive figure in LFC.
Totally agree. It wasn’t just the fact that he “had a bad game”, his application just wasn’t there. He cruised back when he should have been sprinting. It was obvious that he was either injured or his mind was in Spain.
You can’t just blame taa ìts a team effeçt wait till end of season then ĺet him go reaĺ Madrid r at most the play offs for the champions league when he leaves Liverpool he will reĺize that when he leaves Connor Bradley can take his place
trent needs to fo, he’s becoming divisive and arrogant.Make him captain & the team is fckd. He’s nothing like gerrard in leadership. Bradley will do a better job given the time.
Trent is acting like he’s God’s gift to liverpool, fck that,nobody is bigger than the club.
This boils down to the american. They only see the dollars( pounds)
They should has resolved the contract s long time back .
My two cents opinion
If trent doesn’t want to stay at the club he supports and has been there since he was 6 then he can go now.His performance yesterday in the biggest game of the season was nothing short of scandalous.
If TTA heart is not with liverpool,let him it go.
If demand higher salary that show he is greedy, afterall i feel today footballers are overpay.
The most around 50k to 80k per week

I’ll gladly pack his bags for him. His performance against Utd was a disgrace to the badge and I hope he’s thoroughly ashamed of his terrible display in one of the biggest games of the season. Any move from Liverpool FC is a step down IMO. Get rid of him before he costs us the title. 😡
Let him rot on the bench, we have a good enough replacement in Bradley.
Bradley is young and the potential is through the roof. His hamstring issue is concerning, but we can’t forget that Trent has missed 54 games for Liverpool through injury, so no one is bulletproof.
Yes 1000% agreed bro..f..ck him of the club..
Take the money offered by Madrid and fk. Nunez off aswell and get a decent extra striker to the excellant ones we have aswell
Trent should go already. He deliberately cost us two points and he knows it. He’ll tear the team apart, sell him now.
Players comes and go, if money is a problem, let him tell his agent but on field he need to give 110%. Players look at other players contract deals and wants more or same, it kills their football. If he wants to go Real Madrid, lets him state it. Liverpool was form before this players were born and will retire while the Club still functioning.
I said long time ago, Trent is useless and you did not believe me. Are you going to give 350 000 a weak to a weakling. Why should players apply themselves if a player who cannot do the very basic of his job gets such a huge salary when they get a pittance.
Well said ,it’s an honour to play for Liverpool, let him go to Madrid with his mate maybe he’ll be a bit more honest in his endeavour.
I played at many different levels and always give everything and did it for the love of the game and SELF RESPECT.
In the next match, let Trent sit on the bench. Let him observe the game from the bench and tell Liverpool how the game was played without him.
He can then decide if the club needs his services or not… and buth, TAA and LFC can put to rest his future 👉stay or move on.
Tent ‘ game has gone down.
If he goes to R Madrid he would fail again.He cannot unseat Carvajal in that position
Coutinho was there with his Barca shit…. As Reds we can also survive this
Richard Hughes is LFC problem he has failed to sort out the contracts and signed an player who is always injured . Hughes must go and LFC should get somebody who knows what they are doing
AGREED !!!
HE HAS THE SAME ATTITUDE AS MBAPPE AND BELLINGHAMH WHO THINK THAT THEY ARE BIGGER THAN THE BEAUTIFUL GAME .HE SHOULD LEAVE NOW AND JOIN THEM AT REAL MADRID .
HE WILL BE THE DOWNFALL OF LFC’S AMBITIONS THIS SEASON IF HE STAYS . HE NEEDS TO SPEND SOME TIME ON THE BENCH COS THE TEAM PERFORMS BETTER WITHOUT HIM . BRADLEY CAME ON AND SHOWED HIM HOW TO PLAY FOR US . HE WAS PATHETIC AND NEEDS TO GO NOW!!
TT nech ide už do … Myslí si že je kráľ. Je to obyčajne preafektovane hovno. A ten …Slot ho stále dáva do základnej zostavy. Bradley je omnoho kvalitnejší hráč.
TAA is dividing the team. A house divided cannot stand and it is better that EVERYONE is on board or we risk losing everything that has been gained this season. It takes one rotten egg to spoil everything.
As much as I like TAA, no one is greater than the team and I think VVD and MS understand that.
What TAA needs to understand that if/when he goes to RM, he will just be another player. Reminds me of a certain Courtinho.
It’s not the players fault.. whoever is in charge of contracts should be sacked .letting your 3 best players run their contracts down is scandalous .. should have been given new contracts to sign 18 months ago ..
No one’s career improves after they leave Liverpool, ask Mr Owen.
Michael Owen also held LFC to ransom & left for almost nothing because of it, So he could not be welcomed back, Trent can follow Owen and cost the club he supposed to love money or he can do a Gerrard & be a legend.
Too much.money for grossly overrated fast nut ordinary player. What about poor Caoimhin Kelliher, a proven class act and dedicated club player. Never moans.
Well said.. he’s a shining example of a team player but I’m fairness needs to go for his own benefit, which idiot bought mamardashvili!!
He needs to go, LFC is his boyhood club but obviously is using Madrid to get more from his club he says he loves and is in his heart clearly that’s waned a little after 20 years so let the man go, he’s defo not worth 350 grand a week nobody is except Salah and VVD What they bring is undeniable.
I am 79 years of age have seen many great players and managers come and go and Liverpool FC carries on. MO and Van Dyke have not got a new contract but still give 100 per cent,fed up hearing TAA name,sell him now before he ruins are season.
I’m with you Frank am in my 70’s and have seen players and managers come and go but Liverpool FC is still there in top flight now and winning titles so if wants to go then go like you I am sick if hearing about TAA he is upsetting a good a good atmosphere in the club and players.
Methinks a problem is coming with MO is has lost his pace when last have we seen him going around his opposing fullback and please buy a big strong centrefoward nuf said
Trent will learn a very hard lesson like many others before him unfortunately…
No one is bigger than Liverpool.
At Real it will not be the same…
Has someone ever asked for a comment from Liverpool on these stories, maybe no one ever reads these stories or maybe they just don’t care. It would help matters if just once in a while the club made a statement of intent regarding contracts, transfers etc
ie Are they negotiating with player
Are we likely to see any incoming or outgoing players
Perhaps supporters shouldn’t ask these questions because it shows the owners and their Senior Management team up.
