Trent Alexander-Arnold has questions to answer after he was spotted away from Liverpool during his New Year’s break, according to Richard Keys .showed the exit-linked Liverpool defender dining at the upscale Italian restaurant in Venice with his girlfriend, fuelling speculation about his future., criticised the trip, drawing comparisons to James Maddison , who faced backlash for attending a darts match during the break. Keys suggested that Alexander-Arnold should “answer” why he was away.
Keys calling for criticism of Alexander-Arnold feels misplaced, especially since Maddison shouldn’t have been slammed for his break either. In fact, the midfielder gained more support from fans after calling his critic a “wally”. Players need rest, and Keys’ finger-pointing holds little weight. Players across the league often take mini-breaks during this period. Criticism should be reserved for poor performances, not personal downtime.With a Carabao Cup semi-final against Tottenham on 8 January, Arne Slot will hope the full-back’s focus hasn’t wavered as his team continue to fight on all fronts.
