The match was reviewed by Roy Keane, Sky Sport’s expert commentator and Manchester United legend. Kean’s comment about Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool’s right-back, especially resonated.

According to Sofascore, Alexander-Arnold was one of Liverpool’s worst players in this game. He earned a grade of 6.7, the same as Andrew Robertson and Luis Diaz, and midfielder Curtis Jones got the worst grade for Liverpool, reports Index.hr.
This is not the first time Keane has commented on Alexander-Arnold, but the last time he did so was in a much more positive tone. It was at the end of October that Keane interrupted Jamie Carragher’s presentation on player loyalty and their status as legends with a line that caused hilarity in the Sky Sports studios.
There was talk of Alexander-Arnold’s possible departure from Liverpool, where he arrived as a 6-year-old in 2004 and for whose first team he made his debut in 2016. Then, just like now, the topic was a potential move to Real Madrid.
Carragher, who spent his entire career playing for Liverpool (1996-2013), claimed that by leaving the club Alexander-Arnold would damage the legacy he has with the fans, citing the examples of Michael Owen and Steve McManaman, who swapped Liverpool for Real.
“Michael Owen has gone, Steve McManaman as well, and they’ve both been great for the club. Liverpool fans don’t think they’re miraculous because they’ve left. That’s why Steven Gerrard is such a legend and is considered the greatest player in the club’s history. He’s stayed at Liverpool his whole career,” Carragher said in a serious tone, and then Keane chimed in.
Keane spent 12 years in Manchester United, he was the captain of the team with which he won seven titles in the Premier League, the Champions League and 17 trophies in total.
He caused hilarity in the studio with his comment on Carragher’s presentation. “Loyalty? You think that should be taken care of? All right. I’ve always said if you want loyalty, get a dog. I speak from experience.”
