I was upset by Trent's decision to leave, but it's in his hands and not the fans, and Real is arguably the greatest club in the world so it's not hard to see why he left, he should be treated graciously and welcomed back rather than heralded as a snake.

Trent is a great player & I was sorry to see him leave after being a great servant for LFC. However the best approach from the fans is to welcome him then support Liverpool to help them strive for a goal fest with 3 points against Real Madrid. Go Reds.

Ryan Gravenberch on his goal scoring form: “I think I listen to my dad more. He always tells me I need to shot more and shoot more. You saw what happened in the game against Villa, I shoot and it gets deflected. So I have to shoot more.”

I think booing TAA might be the only thing Liverpool will have to make noise about come Tuesday apart from booing their own performance that is.

It’s my first LFC game tomorrow, and I won’t be wasting my energy booing Trent. He’s a LFC legend for goodness sake! Won absolutely everything and was the scouser in our team while doing it!

Trent Alexander-Arnold returns to Liverpool on Tuesday for the first time since moving to Real Madrid, when he will discover if absence has made Anfield hearts grow fonder after the outpouring of ill-feeling that accompanied his decision to leave his boyhood club.
Alexander-Arnold fuelled anger among many Liverpool fans by announcing he was leaving at the end of his contract last summer, with supporters making their fury clear by booing him when he emerged as a substitute in the draw with Arsenal in May.
This was despite the 27-year-old - celebrated in song by the Kop as "the Scouser in our team" - having already played a pivotal role in bringing the Premier League title back to Liverpool.
He is in line to play for Real Madrid in the Champions League match after recovering from the hamstring injury that interrupted his start at the Bernabeu.
Alexander-Arnold will find out if time has healed wounds felt by Liverpool's followers - and will also have the opportunity to show what they have missed as the champions' form has faltered this season.
A 2-0 win for Liverpool over Aston Villa on Saturday, thanks to goals from Mo Salah and Ryan Gravenberch restored the good feeling at Anfield and more importantly for them, broke their four game losing streak.
The 33-year-old Egyptian could not believe his luck when he was gifted the ball from Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez's poor clearance before firing low into the unguarded net in first-half added time.
And then midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, back after missing three games with an ankle injury, sealed the three points in the 58th minute with a 20-yard shot that deflected in off Pau Torres to leave Martinez with no chance.
This is their first win in the league since a 2-1 victory over Everton on 20 September.

That's Phil setting us up nicely for the Liverpool Get Involved.
What reception would you give Trent Alexander-Arnold tomorrow evening at Anfield? Or what reception ARE you going to give him if you are heading to the game?
A gentle applause when he comes out to warm-up or are you going to boo until you run out of oooooo's?
Or are you going to sit on the fence and do neither. The silence would be deafening!

The smart money is on a mixed reception - with a section of Liverpool fans unlikely to forgive or forget the manner of his departure, initially on a free transfer, although Real later agreed a reported £8.4m fee to accelerate his arrival so he could play in the Club World Cup.
Feelings had cooled when Alexander-Arnold again came on as a substitute for Liverpool's final home game against Crystal Palace, when the trophy was presented to captain Virgil van Dijk by legendary former Liverpool defender Alan Hansen.
The warmer response was, perhaps, a reaction to public admonishment from former manager Jurgen Klopp, who was angered by Alexander-Arnold's vitriolic treatment from fans who previously idolised him.
Alexander-Arnold's status as the local boy who made good by winning two Premier Leagues, the Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, Super Cup and Club World Cup undoubtedly heightened emotions when he sought pastures new in Spain.

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank on opponents Copenhagen: "Of course I follow the results and the league. I have good colleagues and friends working in different clubs [in Denmark], knowing obviously a lot of people in Copenhagen.
"It's a very good team, they have very good European experience.
"I expect it to be a very difficult game - that's my go-to, no matter if a team is in form or out of form, the next game is the one everything can change.
"So we prepare like normal, very aware of the strength of Copenhagen and areas we would like to exploit. They have a very good coach and I expect a tough challenge and a tactical challenge."
