Why even put him in the squad? Seems to be more for him than for us. He’s gone, end of, leave him at home and everyone go about their day.
Everything today is now about Trent, when it really should about us being Champions.

Because we quite clearly still want to win games, Bradley can’t play a full 90, and we’re more inclined to play with someone who plays similarly to Bradley/Alexander-Arnold than someone who plays like Quansah?

Because he is managing Bradley’s minutes.
Sorry but the blame for booing lies with those fans and ultimately within himself.
Finding others to blame is just cheap.

End of the day fans have a right to express their feelings. Bloke is walking away from the club they love and many will have idolised him for the last few years.
I don’t agree with booing him but you pay your money you’re entitled to express your feelings and I can understand why some feel that way about the situation.

Can not understand the booing at all.
Wasn’t there so can’t comment if it was a bonehead minority or the mic’s were strategically placed but it was wrong.
Boo him when he plays against us… but while he wears our shirt and remains an integral part of everything we’ve achieved over the last 9 years… he deserves better than that.

Trent has made his decision, a lot of ‘Scouse’ Liverpool fans feel let down by him and he has said he is leaving, so they are just letting their feelings known and for them he might be wearing the Liverpool shirt but now isn’t one of them.
I am not ‘Scouse’ and therefore find it hard to be critical as they live and breathe the club more directly than us fans from afar and their hurt in someone they class as one of their own has decided to leave a successful Liverpool team.
Any word on why Chiesa wasn’t in the squad?
@cynicaloldgit how long before you mention neoliberalism?

I’d imagine there just simply wasn’t space? I think Gomez is our only long-term injury so someone was always going to miss out. I don’t think anyone would dispute he’s pretty much our 6th choice forward.
Definitely a minority and a notabe a counter response that tried to drown it out with cheers, but It was enough to notice though.
Virgil’s post game comments kind of left Trent out to dry. He reiterated Slot’s comments about not being able to tell the fans what to think and they are all professional and just have to get in with it.
This is not how we’d have responded in the past and so I’m kind surprised by Virgil’s non-plused response to it. I wonder if the SM abuse these guys get makes them bake a certain amount of this negativity in to anything they do now?

The same reason why he’s had about 5 mins of football this season, Arne doesn’t want him. Can’t be anymore clear cut.

I’m wondering whether announcing that he was leaving early was a bad idea. We didn’t say anything about Wijnaldum until the season was over and he wasn’t signing an extension.

Don’t agree with all this ‘we can’t tell fans how to react’ stuff. Of course we can. You don’t boo a player in a Liverpool shirt. YNWA.
Dickheads. Just giving the media the distraction they want to take the shine off our celebrations.
Trent’s gone. Ambivalence and support for those who remain is the best reaction.

That’s what I’ve been assuming since about November but people keep saying we need to wait for him to be fully fit.

The fact he is still not playing now, at a time when there isn’t much to play for and we’re down to one game a week, is definitely a stronger signal that his absence was earlier in the season.

Disappointed with the 2nd half performance and the so called best fans in the world booing Trent. Also it was stupid of Trent to go public about leaving before the last game of the season.

I think we all thought that Trent, being such a passionate scouser, that he would stay forever. We knew the big foreign teams were sniffing around, so we knew they might be in with a shout. Whatever has turned his head…money, better team, we don’t know, but he still states his love for Liverpool FC. He looked a lost soul (when the Arse took a drinks break…on no that was subs time.)..when the camera panned round to him…we’ve all applied for new jobs, some we got, some we didn’t…he got his new job…now wether he loves it, or their fans love him, time will only tell…it hurts to know he’s going, but time marches on..Trent you have been a credit to your team, your city and to your fans…proper fans…please place a clause in his leaving contract that he can return if he hates it at the new club…

I gave TAA MotM because I hate booing our players while they’re wearing the shirt.
It’s classless and pathetic in my opinion. The only player I might have booed in the time I’ve supported Liverpool was El Hadj Diouf, and even then it would have been difficult.
Trent has given us lots of moments to remember, but now he’s moving on. That’s his prerogative. Good luck to him. We move on, with grace and class.
Conor was brilliant first half and showed us in the second half why we need reinforcement at RB.
The game was better than I expected, but we should have killed it off. Just a bit of intensity missing, as might be expected in the circumstances.

I posted this in Trent’s thread, but thought it would be apt here.
Chloe, sums it up great in regards to the fans response and her feeling, but more importantly it also shows how Arne seems to have got this one wrong in bringing Trent on.
I have also seen Chris Pajak, also of redmen TV and, I feel I am in his camp, as he said he didn’t feel comfortable booing a player in a Liverpool shirt.
He then says it was mental that Arne Slot brough him on in that game as that type of reaction was always going to happen.
