Liverpool fans showed their appreciation to Trent Alexander-Arnold after his performance against Accrington Stanley, following his nightmare display last time out at Anfield.
What a difference a week makes!
Last Sunday, Alexander-Arnold had a stinker against Man United, lacking both focus and quality to see widespread criticism come his way.
After a promising cameo at Tottenham in the Carabao Cup in midweek, the 26-year-old was a standout performer in Liverpool’s 4-0 win on Saturday.
Alexander-Arnold’s stunning strike gave the Reds a 2-0 lead, and he received a warm ovation when he was replaced in the second half.
These Liverpool fans hailed his performance on social media and in This Is Anfield’s comments, not least the manner in which he bounced back.
Credit to TAA for how he’s bounced back from his disappointment against United last week. Just six days ago, his head seemed all over the place & clearly impacting his football. Now, two encouraging displays & a spectacular goal later, last Sunday feels like a distant memory.

I gave him shit for his attitude and performance against United but Trent looks fully switched on and committed here. A proper captains performance leading by example #LIVACC

That strike from Trent was 30% technique and 70% “let’s shut some people up” pic.twitter.com/5rOOVNq3yx

It was nice to see Alexander-Arnold and the fans connect when he was substituted, with the player clearly appreciating the support for him.
Liverpool’s vice-captain is going through a tricky period off the field, with his future still undecided, but his performance was excellent.
Alexander-Arnold’s goal was the moment of the match, but his class on the ball also stood out, and his attitude could not be questioned like it was last weekend.
Now, it’s a case of taking this display to Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night in what will be a far greater test.
