WALK ON … THROUGH THE BOOS
During last week’s video in which Trent Alexander-Arnold revealed that he would be leaving Liverpool come season’s end, he referred to the “noise” surrounding his decision and hoped it would not drown out his team’s achievement in winning the Premier League title this season. And while his unsurprising news prompted even more unsurprising online wailing, hand-wringing and accusations of treachery, the perceived wisdom was that those who feel Alexander-Arnold has some sort of weird moral obligation to remain at Anfield until such time as Liverpool deem him surplus to their requirements were simply crazies on the internet. People who couldn’t handle being jilted for somebody better. And that match-going fans would respect the defender’s decision to move on to pastos nuevos and show their appreciation for all the happiness he has brought them in his years with the club.
