“All over the place” – Roy Keane brutally slams Liverpool star for his poor performance against Manchester United

Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold was brutally slammed by Roy Keane for his poor defending during the 2-2 draw against Manchester United at Anfield.

The Reds were held to a 2-2 draw at Anfield by Ruben Amorim’s side in a thrilling match. While the first half was relatively calm, with United doing well to contain the in-form Liverpool side, while also creating several dangerous chances on the counter.

The second half was a more open game with plenty of chances at each end. The visitors took the lead in the 52nd minute through Lisandro Martinez, who smashed the ball into the net after being played in by Bruno Fernandes. Trent was at fault for Martinez’s goal, giving the ball away early in the build-up.

Cody Gakpo equalized almost immediately after, scoring with a superb finish after bothering De Ligt with a silky touch. And the Reds turned the game around in the 70th minute, with Salah scoring from the spot to give the home side a 2-1 lead.

It looked like the Reds would go on to win the game, but the Red Devils attacked from the left again, with Trent out of the picture, and Garnacho’s cross found Amad Diallo, who finished past Allison from close range to equalise.

Roy Keane criticizes Trent Alexander-Arnold’s performance

Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has been tipped to leave the club at the end of the season had a poor match, with the majority of United’s chances in both halves coming from his side. In addition to his role in the goals conceded, he was caught several times in the first half.

Speaking at half-time on Sky Sports, Roy Keane was at a loss for words to praise Liverpool’s right-back.

He said (quotes via The mirror):

“Trent Alexander-Arnold has been all over the place defensively. His defense has been schoolboy. He has to do better.”

“They talk about him going to Real Madrid. The way he defends, he’s going to Tranmere Rovers after this. He has to do better.”
