Richards said: "I was at the game, to be fair there were a lot of people clapping [Alexander-Arnold]...



He's going to one of the best football clubs in world football.

"To see him booed when he came on, it was just not a nice moment in football.

Shearer agreed, telling his colleagues: "I didn't like that.

I don't like fans booing players, [especially] after what he's done for Liverpool.

That said, others feel the fans ought to give the player their blessing, especially since he's a local lad who has won everything there is to win at Liverpool, and isn't leaving for a direct rival.

Time may yet soften the boos into applause, but for now, emotions continue to run high.
