00:00So starting with Liverpool and obviously the big one Trent Alexander-Arnold, now a lot
00:07of talk coming out after his performance especially against Manchester United, maybe a bit of
00:12a turning point with the fans, some seem a bit sort of not knowing where to stand with
00:17him and his commitment, if you look back over his time at the club he's been unbelievable,
00:22obviously there was a big debate on Sky Sports as well, how do you sort of look at it and
00:28what's the latest situation because obviously Real Madrid are knocking, it does seem like
00:32a good fit, he's good mates with Jude Benningham as well, so it's quite an interesting situation
00:38and maybe a situation that a lot of fans didn't see coming or are a bit surprised to see at
00:44the moment.
00:45Yeah I think obviously the enquiry that's come in for him just before the January transfer
00:50window opens, I think it was a little bit of a surprise, no one is surprised that Real
00:55Madrid covers his signature but most people thought they'd wait until the summer to try
01:01and get him on a free transfer, there's contracts being up, there's been some theories to have
01:07Real Madrid as an inclinative because they've made an enquiry, would Trent Alexander-Arnold
01:12be open to leaving Madrid in January or is it a case of Real chanting their arm and thinking
01:21right let's try and do something here, Arnold Slott was convinced that Alexander-Arnold's
01:28performance wasn't affected by that at all, he spoke at a length at his post-match press
01:33conference but he knows he'll be in the minority when it comes to that, he knows that a lot
01:40of fans will be thinking Alexander-Arnold's head's been turned, maybe it hasn't been turned
01:45but maybe he just wasn't in the right frame of mind because he was pretty poor, he has
01:49been quite good defensively this season, Alexander-Arnold for all of his frailties
01:53as in the past but he did struggle and when the first goal came in, when in Sandro Martinez
02:00he gave the ball away and then just sort of roamed out of the right back area, looked
02:05like he got caught ball watching and look I want to stress it was only a minority, not
02:13even a handful but there was some vitriol towards Alexander-Arnold after the goal went
02:19in around me, to put it politely saying if you don't want to be here then go to Madrid.
02:28So it's a delicate situation heightened by the fact that Alexander-Arnold is a casualty
02:36product and you think that he should commit his future, he's talked about wanting to captain
02:41the club but he's courted by Real Madrid and look as long as this situation, this saga
02:48rumbles on then there's going to be all sorts of theories and the only way that Alexander-Arnold
02:54can stop that is by performing well.
