A video showing Trent Alexander-Arnold’s demeanor after Liverpool’s 3-2 loss to Brighton has gone viral, with many speculating that the defender may be second-guessing his decision to leave the club. Alexander-Arnold was left on the bench as manager Arne Slot chose to give minutes to fringe players like Federico Chiesa and Jarell Quansah.
Once again, Conor Bradley started in place of the England international and made an immediate impact with an assist, suggesting Liverpool’s future remains promising—even as Alexander-Arnold nears a likely departure. But the right-back’s body language after the match has raised eyebrows.
Alexander-Arnold’s Mood Sparks Speculation
In the post-match footage shared on social media, Liverpool players are seen applauding the fans, who stayed upbeat despite seeing their team lose a lead twice. Even though they haven’t won since clinching the Premier League title, the traveling supporters remained celebratory, singing and dancing to mark the club’s 20th championship.
Alexander-Arnold, still wearing his training bib, was spotted trailing behind the group. A close-up shot showed him appearing somber as he turned from the crowd. His expression has sparked debate among fans, with many wondering what was on his mind.
Fan Reactions and Theories
The announcement of Alexander-Arnold’s exit has already racked up 34 million views on X (formerly Twitter).
As expected, social media was quick to offer interpretations. One fan commented, “He probably realizes he’s made a huge mistake,” while another added, “No other club will have fans like this.” Some took a harsher view, suggesting he looked entitled rather than regretful. One post read, “He thinks he deserves a better send-off,” and another remarked, “He’s taken all the joy out of winning a second league title with his boyhood club.
