Curtis Jones was ‘forced’ to delete a social media post as Liverpool fans are convinced he aimed a dig at Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Curtis Jones’ now-deleted Instagram caption — “One of the good guys” — has added fuel to speculation of internal tensions at Liverpool, particularly surrounding Trent Alexander-Arnold’s confirmed departure at the end of the season. While Jones later re-uploaded the same image with a more neutral caption, “My brother,” the damage was done in the eyes of many fans, who interpreted it as a subtle dig.
The context is important: Trent’s decision to leave as a free agent has clearly divided the fanbase and may have had an impact inside the dressing room too. The fact that Arne Slot chose not to defend or condemn fan reaction, and merely emphasized team focus, suggests he’s walking a delicate line — aware that emotions are high but trying not to inflame them.
This small incident — a quickly pulled caption — may not confirm a rift, but it reflects real undercurrents of emotion and possible divided loyalties within the squad as one of Liverpool’s most iconic homegrown players prepares to exit.
