Ex-player Trent Alexander-Arnold

The reaction was more vicious than I expected, but I don’t particularly mind the boos. It’s all pantomime, anyway. I’m sure Owen’s somewhere having a little indignant whinge about it before getting lost in a painfully tedious monologue about his own career and forgetting who Trent is.

Defacing the mural is gross, though.

I have no problem with booing Trent as an opponent. My thing is that we never should have booed him when he was still playing for us.

My recollection is that Suarez got a nice applause when he was first announced, and then was booed mercilessly thereafter. Sterling was booed from the go because of how he left. Coutinho wasn’t booed when he was playing for us even when he clearly was agitating for a move to Barca - even with a fake back injury. Then he sucked so much at Barca that I don’t think anyone cared enough to boo when he came back with them.

Then Domino’s followed up with “you’ll never watch alone”. :rofl:

Why isn’t this merged. I’m told there’s already a topic when I start one by the forum police?

Merged with what?

Must confess to not being a natural boo merchant, but I might have struggled not to at Anfield the other day.

You missed the classic “The grass isn’t always greener on the other side” thread.

Torres and Owen are saying hi from that one

That’s a classic from which we all can learn.

Probably need to add Coutinho to that list…

Ouch

Yeah, I noticed that. Did they have any other interaction?

Nah. Mo’s Espresso Bar is CLOSED.

Doesn’t bother me whether he got booed or not. Some quarter of fans think he deserves it and has every right to do that. At this point of time, he is just an opposition player to me. As far as ex players are concerned, he is not a rat like Suarez’s level but he certainly shouldn’t be expecting red carpets like some other players who left will receive when they come back

Will Hendo get booed?

a) What do you want it merged with?

b) If you see a moderation issue, flag it and we’ll look into it. The mods aren’t omniscient.

Worse, ignored.

Body language specialists and “who interacted with each other post-match” analysis. Maybe they talked in another moment? In the Inside Anfield video you see plenty of Liverpool players or Liverpool related people having a word with him.

The lengths people go to for clicks these days is embarrassing.

Mac doing the A celebration was a bit of needle. There is absolutely nothing in this Mo thing at all.
