Fans fume over performances of two Liverpool stars vs Man Utd and call for Arne Slot to take immediate action

Liverpool fans have called on manager Arne Slot to take swift action following underwhelming performances by Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson during the 2-2 draw against Manchester United at Anfield.

Despite extending their lead at the top of the Premier League table to seven points over Arsenal, the result left many fans frustrated with the defensive errors that cost Liverpool the chance to secure all three points.

Lisandro Martinez put United ahead in the 52nd minute, capitalizing on an error by Alexander-Arnold, who gave the ball away in the build-up and failed to close down Bruno Fernandes. However, Liverpool responded with a long-range effort from Cody Gakpo and a Mohamed Salah penalty to take a 2-1 lead by the 70th minute.

The lead was short-lived as Amad Diallo equalized, with Robertson failing to block the United forward’s shot inside the area. United nearly snatched a win in the dying moments when Harry Maguire missed a golden opportunity after the ball bobbled in front of him, sending his effort over the bar.

### Fan Reactions

Fans expressed their disappointment with Alexander-Arnold and Robertson, taking to social media to demand changes in the starting lineup:

– One fan wrote: “No words for this Trent performance. Can not believe he came out for the second half.”

– Another added: “Trent Alexander-Arnold was absolutely abysmal today.”

– A third commented: “I’m sorry, Robertson and Trent cannot be our starters anymore.”

– A fourth said: “Robertson needs dropping.”

– A fifth pointed out: “Slot had to take Trent off after United scored the first.”

Alexander-Arnold was substituted with five minutes remaining, replaced by Conor Bradley, in a move seen as an acknowledgment of his struggles during the game.

Looking Ahead

The criticism of Liverpool’s full-backs adds pressure on Slot to address defensive vulnerabilities as the Reds aim to maintain their lead in the Premier League title race. Fans are now eagerly awaiting Slot’s response in upcoming matches, with many calling for changes in the defensive lineup to ensure consistency and stability at the back.
