Alexander-Arnold: Online hate or a true reflection of feeling?

New York Times chief football correspondent Rory Smith says Trent Alexander-Arnold's departure from Liverpool is "a double blow" for fans because not only is he leaving his boyhood club but he is leaving for free.

Smith formed part of the debate on Monday Night Club about the online criticism of Alexander-Arnold's exit and whether it extends into the stands at Anfield.

Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton added: "Could it be a dangerous thing in the long run with young Liverpool-born players, who have that attachment to the club, feel the club progressed them and go on to a good level, then feel 'I better leave early? They might be thinking 'I don't wan to go through the same thing'.

"It's quite a strange thing to think in that particular way. I was racking my brain to think where is this situation with Trent come from?"
