Gary Neville admitted he was surprised to hear so many boos, with the Anfield crowd often seen as one of the most supportive in world football.

But although that is largely the case, it has been recalled that there was at least one other incident of a home player being booed by Liverpool fans during a game.

Opinion has been split amongst Liverpool fans as to whether it was right to boo Alexander-Arnold against Arsenal.

However, it was a louder majority who were unhappy with the No.

66 on Sunday and judging from reaction online, most are in agreement that Alexander-Arnold had it coming.

More fallout has been coming from all corners, including from The Athletic, who provide a good window into how unprecedented the wide-scale negativity was.

They claim that even Roy Hodgson – comfortably the worst Liverpool manager in the club’s long history – was never subjected to boos at Anfield.

Ironic chants of ‘Hodgson for England’ are said to be the worst the veteran coach ever received.

However, it is noted that this was not the first time boos have been heard for a home player.

It is recalled how Brazilian midfielder Lucas Leiva was booed when playing poorly during a 0-0 draw against Fulham in November 2008.

One player was booed for playing badly, the other for how he has treated the club.

In our opinion, Lucas should never have been booed by the Anfield crowd.

“You look at what goes on in the dressing room and you need a really good dressing room to be led by really strong people in there and they’re not always the best players.”

For Lucas, there was a road back to winning the Liverpool fans onside again.
