Martin Keown reckons Jamie Carragher is partly to blame for the Anfield abuse aimed at Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Alexander-Arnold's Anfield Abuse
The Liverpool vice-captain, set to join Real Madrid, was booed when he came off the bench during a 2-2 home draw against Arsenal. This was his first game since announcing his departure on a free transfer.
Carragher's Comparison
Carragher compared Alexander-Arnold to Steve McManaman and Steven Gerrard, suggesting he chose to be like the former by leaving for Real Madrid. Keown believes this comparison may have fueled the fans' anger.
Keown's Defense of Alexander-Arnold
Keown praised Alexander-Arnold's reaction to the boos, as he clapped the home crowd at the end of the match. He also defended the player's right to seek new experiences and opportunities.
Jordan's Counterargument
Simon Jordan offered a different perspective, suggesting that Alexander-Arnold's decision to run down his contract and leave for free may have contributed to the fans' negative reaction.
