“You’re Not My Dad!” — Alexander-Arnold in icy exchange with Slot

Trent Alexander-Arnold got a lot of attention following his reaction after being subbed off in Liverpool versus Brentford game.

Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Brentford at Anfield should have been all about the goals and the masterclass from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah.

Instead, it’s the frosty interaction between Trent Alexander-Arnold and new manager Arne Slot that has everyone talking. The England international’s cold reaction after being subbed off in the 72nd minute has ignited fresh speculation about his future, with fans taking to social media to dissect every detail of the tense moment.

With just a year left on his contract and whispers of a potential move to Real Madrid, Trent’s apparent frustration has only fueled the fire. Some supporters see it as a clear sign of discontent, dubbing it a ‘you’re not my dad’ moment, while others downplay the incident, attributing his mood to being substituted early.

“He’s definitely off to Madrid,” one fan boldly declared on X, echoing the growing concern that Trent could be plotting a summer exit. Another fan chimed in, describing the incident as giving off serious “You’re not my dad” vibes, while some speculated that his sulking could lead to a demotion to the U21s if it continues.

However, not everyone is convinced that the sky is falling. A more level-headed segment of the fanbase believes Trent’s reaction was simply a reflection of his desire to stay on the pitch and help his team secure a more decisive win. “It’s because he was subbed off—he wanted to finish the game,” one supporter suggested, while another speculated that Slot was merely protecting key players ahead of the upcoming clash with Manchester United.

Still, with speculation about his future intensifying and Real Madrid reportedly keeping a close eye on the situation, the incident has left Liverpool fans on edge. Could this be the beginning of the end for Trent Alexander-Arnold at Anfield, or is it just a momentary lapse in an otherwise harmonious relationship with his new boss?
