Jamie Carragher has been called out by rival fans for his Trent Alexander-Arnold comments on Monday Night Football after revealing what he's 'sick of'.
Alexander-Arnold announced his decision to leave Liverpool on Monday amid intense transfer speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid.
Mohamed Salah, who penned a new Liverpool deal last month, sent Alexander-Arnold a farewell message as a hidden 'threat' claim was made.
Speaking before Crystal Palace's Premier League fixture against Nottingham Forest on Monday, Carragher gave his take on Alexander-Arnold's decision to leave Liverpool.

In a passionate rant, Carragher said he was 'sick' of hearing journalists and 'people who have got no affiliation to Liverpool' speak out on the situation.
"There’s this thing that I’ve been reading throughout the day, obviously when the news breaks," he said on Sky Sports.
"You’ve got the reaction of Liverpool supporters, which are different. Some people wish him all the best, some people are really angry, some people are somewhere in the middle. I’m probably one of the ones who are somewhere in the middle.
"But I’m sick all day of reading about journalists, or other people who have got no affiliation to Liverpool, telling Liverpool supporters how they should feel."
Fans called out Carragher's comments, including Aston Villa supporters as they recalled the pundit's reaction to Jack Grealish's Villa Park reception upon returning to the club following his transfer to Manchester City.
One Villa fan wrote: "Don’t tell us how to feel then."
A second said: "Imagine @Carra23 slating Journalists for doing their jobs and giving opinions on a major sporting story, just like he does week in and week out. And also he’s a hypocritical as he’s told Villa fans how to feel over Grealish."
A third added: "You tried to tell us how to feel when Grealish left, not nice now is it? Double standards."
Carragher also admitted that he's 'not angry, just disappointed' with Alexander-Arnold and questioned why he might not feel success at Liverpool is not enough for him.
"I’m not angry, I’m just disappointed that as a local player, he doesn’t think Liverpool’s enough when it’s winning," he added.
"We’ve had players who have left in the past - Steve McManaman, Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard almost left - but that was because they were playing for Liverpool teams that weren’t as good as this Liverpool team.
"Now this Liverpool team is arguably in the best five or six teams in Europe. Just won a Premier League, and Liverpool could be on the verge of something really special over the next five or six years with the new manager."
