Andy Robertson shared his verdict, suggesting he too was uncomfortable with the booing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of emotion around it. It&#8217;s crucial in these moments that I don&#8217;t tell you how to feel and you don&#8217;t tell me how to feel about it. All I can do is tell you how I feel about it,&#8221; Robertson said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;First of all, I&#8217;m disappointed to lose my best mate. In the game, we&#8217;ve done it all together. He&#8217;s an amazing player and person. He&#8217;s made me a better player and that comes from the bottom of my heart. He&#8217;s taken me to levels where I never knew existed. He kept pushing me through the good years. And he&#8217;s made a choice.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/0_GettyImages-1892354069.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Owen\" loading=\"lazy\"  \/>Michael Owen has shared some advice on Trent Alexander-Arnold(Image: Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Should Trent Alexander-Arnold have been booed? <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/sport\/football\/news\/liverpool-alexander-arnold-boos-owen-35208485#comments-section\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Share your thoughts in the comments below<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;His legacy at this club is obvious there to see.

It&#8217;s not nice to see a friend get booed, it wasn&#8217;t nice.
