Eye-opening footage of Trent Alexander-Arnold following Liverpool's 3-2 defeat to Brighton has gone viral, with suggestions being made that he might be having regrets over his decision to leave the club. The full-back was an unused substitute during the game as Arne Slot gave an opportunity to some of his fringe players, such as Federico Chiesa and Jarell Quansah.
Conor Bradley took the England international's place once again and grabbed an impressive assist to kick things off, showing that the future remains bright amid the 26-year-old's impending departure, but the defender's reaction after the full-time whistle has raised some eyebrows.

Several suggestions have been made about the full-back
As expected, several fans have posted their theories behind what Alexander-Arnold's reaction to the away section may have been about, with one suggesting: "I think he knows, deep down, that he's made a huge mistake," and a second saying: "He knows deep down no matter what club he goes to, there will never be fans this passionate about their team."
Others were less concerned, with a third asking: "Oh dear, is someone regretting the consequences of his decisions now?" Meanwhile, there were those who believed that the defender wasn't regretting anything but instead was just acting spoiled, as a fourth added: "Don’t kid yourselves, that’s not regret, it’s entitlement. He genuinely believes he deserves a nicer send-off," while a fifth stated: "Won his second league title with his boyhood club and managed to take every ounce of joy out of it for himself. Absolute divvy."
