What happed?
Liverpool comfortably progressed to the FA Cup fourth round with a dominant 4- 0 palm over League Two side Accrington Stanley on Saturday autumn. pretensions from Diogo Jota, captain Trent Alexander- Arnold, substitute Jaden Danns and Federico Chiesa sealed the palm at Anfield, icing the Reds remain competitive on all four fronts this season.
Big Picture
Alexander- Arnold scored his alternate thing of the autumn when he fired the ball into the top corner of the net from the edge of the box. It was a sensational strike, which led to Liverpool suckers prompting the club to keep him on a new contract amid interest from Real Madrid. still, the right- reverse was extensively criticised for a protective error during Liverpool’s 2 – 1 defeat to Manchester United which led to Lisandro Martínez scoring the opening thing. His critics included Roy Keane, who jokingly suggested that Alexander- Arnold would be more suited to playing for League Two club Tranmere Rovers than Real Madrid.
What did Slott say?
Speaking after the match, Slott defended his captain, saying” I can talk about that( thing) for hours, unthinkable. The biggest compliment Trent got was everyone’s response after the Manchester United game. Every player around the world, except perhaps a many, plays inadequately and that is impeccably normal, but as soon as Trent has a bad game, everyone has their own opinion about it. perhaps it’s because of the contract situation. I do not know if people would reply the same way if that was not the case. You have such a great first half of the season and you do not have a good game against United- and that was egregious to me, to you, to the suckers and the judges who watched the game- but a lot of them were relatively hard on him. I suppose it was good for him to play in our own colosseum and feel welcome again from the suckers, it was special moment as well and that can only help him and us.”
Do you know?
Alexander- Arnold’s current contract with Liverpool is set to expire at the end of this season, leaving him free to negotiate with other clubs this month. Reports suggest that Real Madrid are confident of securing his services via apre-contract agreement in January or a formal transfer in the summer.
What next for Liverpool?
Liverpool’s focus now turns to Tuesday’s pivotal Premier League clash against Nottingham Forest. Nuno Espirito Santo’s timber side presently sit third in the league table, just six points behind Liverpool, and remain the only platoon to have beaten the Reds this season. Alexander- Arnold’s performance will really be in the limelight formerly again, as he looks to make on his emotional caching in the FA Cup.
