Roy Keane Slams Liverpool as 'Classless' Over Trent Alexander-Arnold Jeers

Roy Keane has criticized Liverpool fans for their treatment of Trent Alexander-Arnold during the club’s recent Champions League clash against Real Madrid. The former Manchester United captain described the jeers directed at the Liverpool right-back as “classless” and called on supporters to back their players instead of turning against them.



Alexander-Arnold faced intense boos from the Anfield crowd following mistakes that contributed to Liverpool’s defeat. Keane argued that the scrutiny was unfair, especially given the defender’s important role in Liverpool’s attacking play and overall success in recent seasons.

Speaking on a football analysis show, Keane emphasized that singling out individual players in such a harsh manner undermines the team spirit and morale. “You’ve got to support your players. We’ve seen Trent perform at the highest level, and yes, he’s made errors, but that’s football,” Keane said.

The criticism comes amid mounting pressure on Liverpool’s squad after a sluggish start to the campaign and disappointing results in Europe. Liverpool’s legendary status and recent trophies have raised expectations, and fans are eager for consistency and resilience from their stars.

Despite the backlash, Keane highlighted Alexander-Arnold’s quality and potential to regain form. “He’s one of the best attacking full-backs in the world when he’s on his game, and Liverpool’s play depends on that,” Keane added.

The debate raises broader questions about football fan culture and the balance between passion and respect. Keane urged supporters to remember the emotional toll public jeering can have on players, calling for more constructive encouragement during tough times.

Liverpool face critical fixtures in the coming weeks, with expectations high that the team will rally together and regain confidence, both on the pitch and among their fanbase.
