Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has spoken out after sections of the Anfield crowd booed Trent Alexander-Arnold during the Reds’ 2-2 draw with Arsenal.

Alexander-Arnold, who recently confirmed he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, came on as a second-half substitute to a mixed reception. While some fans cheered, others loudly booed the 26-year-old with every touch of the ball.

Carragher, speaking on Sky Sports, said he understood fans’ frustration but felt the booing went too far.

“That’s the story of the game,” Carragher said. “I understand the anger, but no player wearing the red shirt should be booed while playing. It’s a step too far.”

The former defender added that the emotional reaction may stem from Alexander-Arnold’s deep connection to the club as a homegrown talent, but he urged fans to channel their emotions differently.

“Sing the names of other players if you must, but don’t boo one of your own. That only invites criticism from other fanbases,” he warned.

Carragher even suggested that it might be wise for Alexander-Arnold to sit out the remainder of the season to avoid turning Liverpool’s title charge into a media circus.

Slot Backs Alexander-Arnold, Praises His Performance

Head coach Arne Slot, speaking after the match, said he respected the fans’ right to express their feelings but stood by his player.

“Trent delivered two or three incredible balls. We nearly won because of him,” Slot said. “I’ll always support my players.”

Despite the tension, there was applause for Alexander-Arnold at full-time as he approached the Kop. Fans also sang the name of Conor Bradley, viewed as the likely heir to the right-back position.

Robertson Expresses Loyalty: ‘I’m Proud of My Best Mate’

Alexander-Arnold’s close friend and teammate Andy Robertson also expressed sadness over the reaction.

“I’m disappointed to lose my best mate,” Robertson said. “He’s an amazing player and person. His legacy is clear and he’ll always be part of Liverpool’s history.”

“He’s made me a better player. I’m proud of him and he’ll be missed.”

Liverpool next face Brighton before their final home game against Crystal Palace on May 25, where emotions may once again run high.
