Fans Speculate on Conversation Between Alexander-Arnold and Jones After Everton Win Liverpool secured a 1-0 victory over Everton on Wednesday, extending their lead to 12 points at the top of the Premier League. Diogo Jota scored the match’s only goal, slotting past goalkeeper Jordan Pickford in the 57th minute. The win not only gave the Reds crucial three points but also bragging rights over their Merseyside rivals. Trent Alexander-Arnold, who was unavailable due to an injury sustained during last month's match against Paris Saint-Germain, watched the game from the stands. With Conor Bradley also sidelined, manager Arne Slot made a surprising tactical decision, deploying Curtis Jones, who typically plays in midfield, at right-back. Jones put in a stellar defensive performance, helping the team secure a clean sheet. The Interaction Between Alexander-Arnold and Jones After the final whistle, Jones shared a warm embrace with Alexander-Arnold, who was visibly supportive from the stands despite his absence from the pitch. The two were seen having a brief conversation, during which Alexander-Arnold was seen laughing moments after the exchange. This interaction sparked speculation among fans, with many suggesting that Jones may have jokingly told his teammate, "I’m taking your position." This playful remark, coupled with the visible camaraderie between the two Scousers, led to fans speculating about their conversation. Fans React to the Moment On social media, Liverpool supporters quickly weighed in on the moment. One fan tweeted, “I bet Curtis said ‘I’m taking your position’ and they both start laughing.” Another fan added, “You could tell he was super invested in Curtis’ performance,” referring to Alexander-Arnold’s apparent pride in Jones' display at right-back. Some fans, however, speculated that the conversation was more serious, with one user suggesting that Alexander-Arnold’s head might be elsewhere given ongoing transfer rumors surrounding his potential move to Real Madrid. Alexander-Arnold's Potential Exit As the season progresses, Alexander-Arnold’s future at Liverpool remains uncertain. The 26-year-old is out of contract this summer and has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid on a free transfer. Having spent his entire career at Liverpool, the prospect of leaving his boyhood club after 349 appearances has generated significant attention. Many believe that this season could be Alexander-Arnold’s last in a Liverpool shirt, as the club looks to navigate the challenges of losing one of their most influential players. While the speculation surrounding his future continues to swirl, Alexander-Arnold’s interaction with Jones after the win against Everton suggests that, despite the rumors, his commitment to the team remains strong as Liverpool fights for top honors this season.
