The two had a talk that the spectators heard during Liverpool’s victory.

The chilly confrontation between Trent Alexander-Arnold and Arne Slot during Liverpool’s victory over Brentford was clearly seen to the supporters of the club.

On Sunday, Liverpool defeated Brentford 2-0 at home, giving manager Arne Slot his first victory as the team’s manager.

At Anfield, Luis Diaz gave Liverpool the lead after just 13 minutes with a powerful goal that cashed in a vicious break from defence.

Liverpool spurned a number of chances before Mohamed Salah finally got their second, calmly slotting past Mark Flekken to secure the three points.

In their first home game under Slot, Liverpool looked quite impressive and ought to have scored more than twice.

Trent Alexander-Arnold was especially good; while his team was in possession, the full-back effectively played as a right-sided No. 10.

The 25-year-old was not happy to be substituted out for Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz in the 72nd minute, and spectators saw his apathetic response when Slot addressed him in the substitute bench.


The England international, whose contract is about to expire, has been connected to a transfer to Real Madrid.

The video of his icy exchange with Slot undoubtedly did not allay suspicions that he would be leaving Anfield.

One fan wrote on X, “He’s definitely off to Madrid,” while another said Trent’s response gave her “you’re not my dad vibes.”

“He keeps moping around like that, he’ll be in the u21s,” a another fan commented. Salah, Virgil van Dijk is acting professionally even though their futures are uncertain, but he’s pouting there.”

Nevertheless, some supporters wished to downplay the significance of the event.

One fan concluded, “It’s because he was subbed off, he wanted to finish the game.”

Someone else said: “I think Slot saw that he’s winning the match and decided to take off Diaz, Jota then Trent and Salah to protect them ahead of the United game.”
