Trent Alexander-Arnold has been enjoying a great run of form in a new position as an inverted full-back. The Liverpool defender is now being deployed in a midfield position, which has seen him make a far bigger impact for Liverpool in recent games.
Questions have long been asked of Jurgen Klopp and his unwillingness to move him to a more advanced position, so why has he changed tact - and just how are they utilising him outside of his usual left-back role?
JJ Bull explains.

Finally an analysis to why Klopp shouldn’t play him in the centre… so many people in our fanbase criticise Klopp for not playing him there not understanding it wouldn’t just work
Second hand managers suck
Doesn’t have to play central, but he’s clearly a midfielder
To be fair, we do have a deep lying playmaker in Thiago, Trent is Thiago who can do more, have more type of passes in him, but not as smooth, not as quick like one touch pass. Trent can develop into that kind of midfielder, I mean Kimmich also changed from RB into one of the best DLP because of Pep, took him so long to finally become permanent midfielder because Javi Martinez and Thiago left and now have Pavard as defensive RB, no more creative RB like Kimmich. He can definitely work in midfield, he was a midfielder at academy days, Klopp just seen his strength and think how to maximize it differently.
@@seongthongchuah8356 thiago is much better at defensive duties and most of Liverpool's midfielders in last 5 years or so have been great at defending or had great defensive work rate. Trent is good at pass interceptions but except that he isn't that good
The analysist also said he can develop into the type of midfielder we need so just play him in the center.
I have always thought Beckham was the player who TAA reminded me of. He would have been a right midfielder in a 442 in the 90s for sure.
Yes
Yeah, and in the way that Beckham was terrible at anything resembling defensive actions. Not that it was really expected of him, but he should've made more than one good tackle in his entire career.
Beckham is better at freekicks but otherwise they have similar qualities
@@Finn_Lawlesswhat that’s so not true he was a workhorse
@@tedmoreau6652 You probably saw some flattering high-light videos. How much of his play did you personally observe from 1992 to the end?
Trent has everything to become the best inverted right-back in the world, people forget he is only 24 years old
One of the best? Yes.
The best? No. He doesn't have the same close control as a Zinchenko. He's not very press resistant.
@@Never_Wr0ng if he didn't have the close control he wouldn't have nutmegged Zinchenko and embarrassed him like that 😂
@@amolmehrotra1296 As good as that banter was, Unfortunately for you, Football has nothing to do with funny one-liners.
@@Never_Wr0ng how is that funny one liner, when that really happened? You think a player with no close control can do that easily?
@@Never_Wr0ng Zinchenko??? Lmaoo please stop
“Why would you make the best right back in the world a midfielder? I don’t under stand that”
- Klopp, 2022
Still a right back 2023
@@kieranemond9548 who cares right banks have changed now. Football evolves keep up.
@@kieranemond9548 sure, a right back who moves into midfield and has his RB duties covered by Konate.
@@Nofinator Don't Cancelo and zinchenko are also fullbacks or they are midfielders???? Did you even watch the video.
You appear to have missed the entire point being made in this video😂
Liga and Serie A teams have very different styles of play and it would be nice to see them covered on this channel (I'm a Milan fan). This sort of explainers are gold and would be absolutely amazing.
That would be good. They did cover Napoli which was one of their best vids.
@@commentarytalk1446 Napoli has a more english style of play tho
Think the Milan v Inter CL semi will be a good one for them to make a video on how those teams play
@@thePersonoyt Ah I see, you'd like coverage of more Italian style of football? Yeah that would be good as Pippo says Milan vs Inter one of the great Derby's in World football might be good chance for them to do that?
@@thePersonoytnot really.....
I feel sorry for him man. If he played for a team that had a true holding midfielder in their system or wing backs, he'd be considered as one of the best in the world. Recently he's kind've a victim of the system - but he has benefited from it too
Fabinho is washed
next season comeback is gonna be insane
That has kind of been the problem this season, Klopp has been playing the hand he wants rather than the hand he's got. The midfield are either past their prime or still carrying fatigue from last season and because the whole system relies on them being flexible and high energy it's made the job of those behind/ahead of them impossible.
@@Ibrahim-nf6yh nah I think fab has been decent what we're doing wrong in midfield is not being in the correct positions to press, we're not pressing with the same intensity as we used to
this means fab has to be more involved then he usually is which isn't his game
remember in 2019 when it'd be gini and hendo pressing and fab would support but he'd sit off and dominate that middle preventing teams going through our gaps in defence.
I think he has one good season in him left but he'll perform far better imo when we have players in the midfield with a higher output, and with trent being in a more inverted role the midfield is getting a little extra support at certain times
Trent IS the best right wing back in the world though you nonce. At 24 he has won EVERY trophy available (minus World Cup, where he doesn't typically start anyway) and will be the highest assisting defender of all time in the Premier League within 2 years alongside Robertson. HE IS 24 and is so good that when he has 2 assists, amazing passes, and a glorious game, it's nitpicked when he is dribbled passed a single time even when it doesn't turn into anything. THAT is class. Nobody has mentioned how he megged Zinchenko for the assist to tie the game against Arsenal because he's just that much better than Zinchenko and Zinchenko isn't under the same pressure to be flawless as Trent.
always very interesting getting a visualization in this 2d view over the field. gives me something to look out for while watching the matches at the weekend
also the FM addition when talking about not using a DLP and instead focusing on the aggressive pressing lines was fun to see :p
Its mostly overanalysed theory though. Not actual reality
All Liverpool need in the summer is at least 2 new midfielders who are better than Henderson and Jones and can make that counter-pressing football works again (for example Mac Allister and Mount), I don’t know who will be a 6 next to Trent (Fabinho or Bajcetic) but I’m not against signing a one more CDM and I think we really need a one more CB who can cover Konate and VVD or a fullback (preferably RB)
Well done
Well done lad. Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Endo, Quansah.
Nobody ever talks about TAA when he has a good defensive game. Ive seen many games where before the game, everybody will talk about how Trent is gonna struggle against the winger who's gonna give him "hell", but then TAA has a good game and shows how sound he can be 1v1 (defensively). TAA isn't a bad defender! Neither is he a great one, but his biggest fault in defence has been based on his attitude (like not bothering to jump in an arial duel). Also, why would you want to take someone who "cAnT dEfEnD" and put him in the (LFC) no.6 where (in the past) usually players like Fabinho, Henderson, Milner and even Thiago have had to be very defensively minded and reliable in the past?
Liverpool’s ideal midfielder which would combine Trent’s creativity, required defensive ability, and nimble passing actions, is unfortunately not one they can get. Its Joshua Kimmich
Better defensively ability..but alexander is way better passer and creator
@@LostGenerationn I would argue otherwise kimmich delivery is just as good if not better...kimmich has a record breaking season at rb the one season he decided to play there his assists were golden...Trent is just really good at what he does...and James has similar delivery with his crossing and even free kicks.....Trent is obviously not a rb though ...compare him to those who perform in the position rn and it's clear that he needs to play in a double pivot...he is the closest thing to kimmich
@@d.orlando6646 closest thing to kimmich?y'all shitting on TAA for one bad season huh...way better than kimmich on every aspect except defending
@@LostGenerationn So you're saying he's way better than one of the best midfielders of this generation. I guess they don't call you L for nothing
@@wannenburgwannenburg3695 best midfielders in the world kimmich? Top 10?
I agree entirely apart from the whole “breaking up the play, which Arnold isn’t good at”.
He’s literally had the third best ball recoveries in the league this year. So the stats would say otherwise tbh 🤔🤔
I found that strange as well, he's ranked top 5 in defensive recoveries in the keague virtually every season since he broke through into the 1st team, which is why the narrative "he can't defend" is so odd
Might be more from the eye rest or at crucial moments
@@_XPERIA_ Recovering the ball is only one part of defending. Teams target him because of his poor (by world class standards) positional awareness and concentration
@@Dionach I don’t think it’s poor positional awareness, he’s just following instructions which means he’s generally not in a conservative position. One on one he can get cooked by some wingers but he’s held his own against some top wingers over the years.
He just needs better cover.
Worth noting that when Alexander-Arnold was put in the first team at right back, it was the first time he'd ever played at right back. He spent his entire youth career as a central midfielder.
Which means he's not at a level to play cm is all that means, but they saw he had potential at rb
@@msstry1 that doesn't mean anything ..kimmich was a DM in the team and Pep played him at cb and rb......it isn't about Trent's quality it was about what was best for the team......compare Trent to James or Ben White...pavard Dalot cancelo....hakimi.....carvajal....all these great rb rn and Trent is clearly the odd ball .....Trent clearly is a potential midfield genius hiding behind the curtains
Also worth noting that when Trent played rugby he played at fullback.
@Invisible no it just means at that time we had 3 capable midfielders and he was that good creatively that he got his chance, abit like stevie g.
This isn't true at all. Trent made lots of appearances at right back at youth level. He was already mostly a right back before he ever played for Liverpool.
love the analysis on him needing space and time on the ball to impact the game, as he isn't that great under pressure in central areas. also, the use of FM graphics, I see you
TAA was a midfielder during his youth academy days..so no surprise
Even more significantly, this was exactly the kind of role he played. A deep-lying playmaker in a double six.
It's not really true though. All of his PL 2 appearances were at right back. He was already fully converted to right back before he ever played for Klopp.
Great analysis. People really don't understand that a being a Center mid is mostly psychological. It requires tremendous acumen, intelligence and cunning (Hence the importance of Fabhino, Casemiro and Rodri. They are all very cunning and have mastered the art of cheating). Not everyone is Bernando Silva who has the lungs of a marathoner & is comfortable in any province of the pitch. Trent issue is he doesn't have the fitness of a midfielder and the psychological endurance to function as one. Defirent mentality required there. It's not all that simple. What seperated Beckham from Trent was his fitness. I love Trent but he seems to fatigue quite easy, especially if the press doesn't work. This is why he's also not a WingBack. Very similar to Marcelo at Madrid or Verlvade, who has had to develop the interiority of his game and eschewed from playing in the wings as of late. I actually think it's probably easier to be a center-mid who is occassionally used as a rightback, ala Milner or Kimmich. The opposite is not true. Anyways, great analysis.
Great comment but I don’t know what the “interiority of his game” means?
even roberto carlos had enough when asked to play centre foward by uncle roy
Marcelo had great fitness in his prime
The only thing JJ didnt say is you can play Trent in a diamond 4-4-2 as the right sided CM who can drift wide
Trent played right back as it was probably his only way into the team at that time, but know he's blatantly world class he's probably bored out of his mind having to think about defending when he can nutmeg people and ping incredible Beckham like passes! 😆
Just like Joshua Kimmich.. started as a rb and then changed into cdm and be one of the best deeply playermaker in Europe at one point.. But Kimmich a slightly better in defensive duty i guess..
Very clear explanation, thank you 👍🏾
Interesting that you are exploring why some teams aren’t doing well and perhaps what they are missing. Like in this case as a result of system/player “misalignment”. Interested to see this more often with other teams. Is also a bit timeless of a concept there will always be teams playing “good and bad“. Keep it going!
Coaching and systems mean a lot more in football now. Back in the 90s you'd have a team technically much better than another, or fitter, stronger. But now the line is much less and there is technical talent and ability across the Premier League. If your manager doesn't use your skillset in an effective way, things are quicker to fall apart
With proper training and patience he can become a Pirlo - type player. He has all the attributes - The Passing, The Vision, Long balls ... He can definitely become a deep lying playmaker
As much as I like to see that happen it is difficult to find players like Pirlo or Xabi, De Rossi these days. They have different level of abilities which I think doesn't come from practice.
When it's come to the Tactics,Tifo always spot on ❤
This dude is clever ,exposing the little secrets ,great analysis, he just got a new sub from me
keeping him at right back also means you don't have to get a new right back. the market for one doesn't seem very good at the moment. starting at midfield would also mean he might get marked out of the game, while arriving into midfield or going up the wing allows some unpredictability. ond if a team were to mark him, it would free up other midfielders and players.
while he played very well against arsenal, i am not sure how well trent is on the turn for him to keep it up against high pressing, high level teams. but against teams that play deep blocks and would allow him time on the ball, this would be effective. if this season has any lessons for liverpool, one of the important ones is that the team will turn up for big games, but it's the matches against relegation threatened teams that throw curveballs.
i am happy with this development. he accumulated the most touches he's ever had in the leeds match. and fewer things, to me, are more enjoyable than watching trent pass the ball.
Love the Football Manager tactic screen...nice work
I've been playing Trent as a RW on Football Manager for years now. Funny thing is he can actually defend in the game but I do it anyway cause that crossing is absolute fire.
Havve been wanting this video for since last season
Brilliant analysis!!
Fantastic video. I've seen so many people argue that Trent should be moved into midfield, but to me it clearly wouldn't work, and this video explains exactly why. Trent's strength comes from his ability to send inch-perfect deep crosses from the right-back position. He just needs some tactical adjustments to meet that requirement. From that perspective, I can totally understand why someone like Trippier starts over Trent for England - he's not as good a crosser, but he's such a top-class all-round player that you don't need to build the team around him to the same extent.
I fully understand why people say TAA should play in midfield because it is more common sense. Great managers like Klopp however, love to amplify his team's strength and being a rightback gives him lot more time and space.
This is one of Tifo IRL’s best explainers - top job JJ.
Fantastic breakdown.
Brilliant video
Well clearly every team we played in pre-season (except Leicester) watched this video. Excellent analysis!
Finally some sense on the topic.
Great video
Finally a clear explanation
This is clever Analysis!
I bet Pep Guardiola dreams of an inverted RB like Alexander-Arnold.
Pep has fallen in love more with the centre backs role as a pose to inverted left or right backs. Since the departure of cancelo and Walker being out not fully fit.
well pep doesn't need Alexander-Arnold, he has de bruyne
@@abrehman7182but what about 2 de Bruyne in the line up
Stones is playing like the best inverted RB in the world currently.
it's a tricky one because TAA is simultaneously their best player, and their worst player
😂
Nah man I can name you five worse players than Trent in the team easily.
@Hamza a Gomez, Matip, henderson, fabinho and Elliot easily have had a worse season than Trent this year.
@Hamza a yes but he is being mis-profile in the midfield role, he is more of a 10 than a Right hand midfielder hence the criticism of him since he can't provide defensive cover to play in a Klopp midfield.
@@amolmehrotra1296 I’ll make sure no list of worst Liverpool players in 22/23 go by without vvd’s name on it.
After reading the comments now I feel special, I actually watched the video and then wrote a comment 😏
He is playing a little like Beckham who will tuck into the middle (albeit from RM instead of RB) and deliver beautiful passes from deep onto runners.
Of course that sweet right foot can still work to deliver crosses from wide if needed
I just don’t agree that if he’s in the midfield he won’t be good bc he won’t have space and time. I have seen TAA many times make quick decisions. He doesn’t always need a lot of time to make decisions. The only way to truly judge TAA in midfield is to actually watch him play midfield rather then speculate that he needs “space and time”
I've been thinking TTA should play more central for the past couple of years, also said the same about Wan-Bisaka. He could easily play as a central defender or midfield destroyer, because if he's on form no one gets past him. It might be a bit of a stretch, but at least for England they could be our answer to Pirlo, Gattuso plus a box to box type player just ahead of them could be interesting.
i live for the tifo irl piano jazz backround music
I wonder if you could have a 4-2-3-1 with a rotation with the 2nd 6 what is a more of a dribbler and defensively sound and and create with their dribbling to rotate with taa and then get the forward 4 to work with firmino as a 10 and then the normal front 3 so you can switch the rcdm and rb
About bloody time
Please arrange the shirt number in ascending order. The 5 and 6 and the 9 and 10 look great. But why is there another 10 in the middle. Where the beautiful number 7 and lucky 8. Tbh it’s just driving my brain crazy. 😂😂😂😂😂 nice video as usual guys. Love the content.
Remember when teenage Trent pocketed sane in ucl.
Next FM player role "inverted playmaker fullback"
I certainly think think the way Pep, and now Klopp, and possibly Arteta, are changing wide defender roles, has the FM team scrabbling to allow individual, out of possession player instructions.
So
An inverted wingback on support?
@@thanhtrinhngoc2444they don’t inverted nearly enough though
@@kyledittman8408 idk man
Put team instruction to be more disciplined or nothing at all, just not being more expressive. It works for me tho.
1 tip: tell your IWB-s to take more risks, train him the trait Try killer balls often and try long range pass (send to other flanks too if possible). Your IWB will boss creative outlet. Those long through balls from deep are just so magnificent.(try to have at least 12 points for passing and vision)
In love with the role man.
@@kyledittman8408 i also have 1 winger, 1 mezzala on the same side of the field and 1 advance forward.(4-3-3)
This is how the play i mentioned works. The winger stays wide to pin down FB. The mezzala will then move diagonally inside to channels and this movement will naturally drag the opponent's DM inside and draw the attention of 1 CD on that side inside. Right at that moment, the AF/poacher will take advantage of the space created between the DM, CD and that pinned FB (the halfspace is wide open). The IWB which is now standing in the exact location on our side of the field will have a clear view and passing lane straight towards that space created earlier for the AF to move into and the forward will be place in a very dangerous position right away. He can choose to face the GK for a narrow shot or a cut back pass to the mezzala to tap in.
The wider the attacking width is set, the more effective this play will be. Set the tempo to be really high cuz i want the IWB pass to be swift and decisive. Passing directness to be shorter tho cuz i dont want constant long balls. Attacking mentality.
Mid Block to draw opponent's def line up a little bit, press a little harder, not to hard tho and a standard def line of your own to prevent counters.
This tactic works well even in lower leagues cuz of its width. Stretches out back 3s like a charm. (Set the approach play to be UNDERLAP too for that side of the field - required)
it was about time
This is brilliant.
Love the video, can also maybe do a player comparison between KBD and Steven Gerrard. I think KBD is the player who matches Gerrard's playing style the most and is better than him in lot of sense.
if this takes off for big teams in football i wager that the 442 will come back to match this team in midfield during attacking play
“hybrid role” “midfielder” why is everyone acting like he isnt just being played in your average inverted fullback role.
tifo yess your analysis about that tactical but look at forest still there loose bcos look how easy forest get that goal. or if the opposition attack synchronization on their attack still cant like real where benzy and vini movement, forest and napoli. the ingredients is synchronization of player that can connect each other that is how it is to win the ball
I’ve always seen him as a modern Beckham playing out of position at right back, so why not play him at right wing. But thanks to this video I now know it’s more complicated than that.
He would play right wing in the old 4-4-2 systems but a modern winger in football is basically a striker
Homestly it's shocking how little klopp is getting out of TAA especially at these times where positions are just on paper and it's all about roles. It doesn't matter whether he plays at RB or CM what matters is that he should have much less defensive Responsibility and much more freedom where players are creating space to give him time to play his games. And he obviously must improve his tight-spaces game
Yes, i think what Klopp and boys haven't completely figured this season is low to push TAA forward and get him on the ball more without opening up the defense. TAA is clearly the number 1 playmaker in the team, and i think klopp has been trying to get him into more impact positions. There still needs fine adjustment but i think for it work we need someone like Fab always on the pitch. You could see it in Nottingham match, as soon as we got fab off and thiago in, the pressure on the defensive line was much greater. We need a Fab rotation player, this should be priority.
@@pseudonym9215 But the actual priority player is a proper defensively-solid right back to actually form a proper defensive line cuz arnold just isn't cutting it defensively at all
I think Clop should try to persuade Firming to stay on by moving him into midfield. He has the energy to run, the tactical awareness to to know when to press, he can work in tight spaces and find nice little through balls, he has great vision and imagination. Given how often Thiago is injured, he could get a lot more games in midfield and no need to spend a fortune on Bellingham.
There's a grand total of like 0 people in this comments section who actually watched the video lmao
Typical isn't they saw Trent and came straight to hate in the comment section.
I got bored at the middle half. You are correct.
Who would listen to this guy waffle after that Villa xG video?
@Minitell it's not even the same guy 😭😭😭 Villa fans r so insecure
I am tired of the narrative that trent is "defensively defficient" he is a decent to good defender he is just asked to play a certain position
What makes you think Henderson has the ability to turn quickly? Over thinking it really, Trent is better in every department when compared to Henderson.
I can't believe De Zerbi taught Guardiola and Klopp some tactics
Only thing kloop did is mke sure trent gets more cover its still a 4.3.3 .. kloop will bring players in to play his counter press style .. such as thuram who is a counter pressing player who can intersept and start the counter...
What if TAA becomes a regista and has a destroyer covering him like how Gattuso protected Pirlo; TAA reminds me of a prime Pirlo but with more defensive capabilities
I'll wait till you discuss Jose Mounrinho.
Not necessary, TAA can play as a sweeper, playing behind the defenders, so his pass will be long range and he definitely has time to make the perfect pass. Not only that, it also allows him to roam around behind or in front of the backline, it will create even more space and freedom to allow him to make that pass to the strikers.
nvr reulizd wl dun hes beng convrtd
Please send this to every liverpool fan who is abusing the comment section of every post and video telling klopp to move trent permanently to midfield
Shoutout to the editor for Bernardo Silva's head at 6:28 🎈😂
I love TTA
Thats true.
The space and time continuum... 😉
The best RB in the world
That's reece james
@@aakarmamtora3470have seen Reece James play recently?
@@aakarmamtora3470 nah that guy is so overrated it's a myth that he is any good. Hasn't completed two seasons playing 30 games, how is he the best right back when he never played that position, always played rwb, can't stay fit and play consistently, is fat and can't run, even his long range passing isn't as good as Trent. One good season in 2021 made everyone think he is any good. But he hasn't done anything since the UCL win.
That kind of gets me thinking, the profile of player who would be good in tight spaces while controlling the ball AND make good passes to break lines or create chances, I immediately think of Pedri as a current player...and no way Barcelona will sell him.
Trent's been going in to midfield literally the whole season. The only difference is now they are shuffling in to a back three to cover him. But he's still not quite as press resistant as you'd want a creating midfielder to be. He can't play Gerrard role, but he could play the Alonso role, the quarterback. But just like a quarterback he'd need a shield to make the passes.
First time seeing a 325 system in effect
Let's see how adaptable he is
Philip Lahm played in various positions and he was good at it too, so his Kimmich
It seems to work for Trent and the team the 3-2-2-3
But having Trent as inverter midfielder means the left back Robertson have to join a three-men defense which hinder him offensively as Trent have the freedom to operate from the midfield or from the flank another player is hindered and it's not shown yet is Salah who is now play a lone right winger and behind him is Henderson a RM who also have to cover on the right but doesn't have to capabilities to provide assistance to Salah who is also in that formation will have to swap roles in hendo to become the RM in one twos situation while hendo is more further up yet that's not his forte in this case you are not sacrificing any normal player but the player who is the main threat, the top scorer and the who that nay tactic should be build around not to find solutions for Trent you hinder others Robbo was the main assist provider on the as an LB now since he has to join Konate and VVD his way far from creating danger and his assists number is dropped for those reasons I don't think Klopp will make this formation his flagship tactic but he will run it for the remaining games if it works and gives him results untill he gets new creative midfielders next season then we will either see Trent goes back to his RB position or he has to compete with someone else in midfield
Isnt this how pep play stones?
Been waiting for this video after last game against Leeds lol 😂😂💯
So basically TAA has the skillset of a classic winger, but they already have Salah, so Klopp has to stick TAA somewhere else and hope the opponents don't exploit his weaknesses. If Liverpool can set up to create some time and space for TAA to operate as a 6, it could work over the long term. But there's still the defensive frailties to exploit when they don't have the ball, no matter where he plays because he just doesn't have good defensive awareness.
The thing is that Trent isn’t a horrible defender, but he’s not great, so when teams are running at him 15 times a game and Hendo is not there to provide help, he’s going to be beat some times
5:40 Unexpected FM
Been saying it for over 3 years that klopp should play him at midfield the passing is out of this world
Fabinho also look a lot better in the games Trent has played this inverted RB role. I feel like esp. with the midfield and press not being what it once was and with opposition figuring the team out a bit Trent has struggled a lot and this role suits him so much better. Fabinho has been left alone a lot but now even he looks a bit more comfortable.
Changing your system to facilitate a player who simply can't defend seems a lot more complicated than just replaceing him with someone who can.
That "player who simply can't defend" is a generational talent who does de bryune like things from rb spot, on the ball no one comes close to him
Dude everything you said was fairly on the ball but I honestly think that LFC needs to find a right sided version of Robbo with tgat higher ball winner stat and mire defensively munded than Trent at times ,if we could have a real solid FB and let Trent start drifting into the middle like a deep lying playmaker just like you said a Perlo type of long nicely weighted delivery of the ball landing nicely behind the defense on to a running players foot ,if we could get a top class RB and have Trent and him fight for that starting place , but all the while slowly introducing Trent every onther game into theudfle but slowly from the bench until he's fully ready ,prove he is better than what's already there , he can 💯 do it Stevey G was a FB I'd love it if our trent start producing beast mode performances Controlling the game from the middle like stevey did , Come on our kid trent , its just a little bit more work and your there our next Scouse super hero Captin ,it's written in the sand one man team as well, you deserve it lad ,well done
I just love the sound of JJ's voice. I don't care what he says. He does need to comb his hair.
Go JJ. 🏴. 🇬🇧
00:30 Did he really compare Trent with Pirlo. Pirlo didn‘t just play long passes from behind, he read and anticipated the game as well. Trent is not doing anything like that.
Klopp could eventually develop a false full-back role for TAA and Robertson. They invert to a midfield when the midfield line has been pushed higher.
he's turning into the new age Gerrard with a license to make beckham type crossing ability
He's playing the same position he just moves central from that position when Liverpool are in possession rather than moving forward from that position when Liverpool are in possession.
So he’s playing the zinchenko Cancelo roles
this how it is. did you know kimmich . ok why i use kimmich before he go to bayern or he at bayern, bayern fans like trent today many bayern hate (not hate him) anymway bcos he cant defend but only one thing is good is he kimmich is good in control the game so pep put him in wing back and kovac put him more deep between midfielder and fullback until right now he is Midfielder but in meantime kimmich will play as wingback
I like your pink jumper
+Nice
I feel like the only way Trent actually goes into midfield for us is if we switched to a 4231 and allowed him to play deep alongside Fab.
Would require Trent to be better receiving the ball with his back to goal and that’s definitely not something he’s good at.
@@craigbishop2529 he can develop that skill with time tho so id say its still a good idea
@@musicbyarwin_ easier said than done. He definitely can but anyone can but doesnt especially when youre 24 and already built a certain habit. Its much harder to change a player without hurting him and only so few actually manage to do it at an elite level. So no not really mate
@@marcorojas-vazquez6792 i mean yeah ofc its not easy, its gonna take some work. but youll never know if u dont try. im not saying that being a dm was his prophecy lol, im just open to the idea.
His best position would be RM in a 442 diamomd, but that wouldn't necessarily suit the rest of the team.
Javier Zanetti, one of the greatest fullbacks went into medfield in 4-3-1-2 for a few seasons.
It is all about adaptability
7:48 They did put a mane out of the way (sad)
Took way too long enough for klopp to do this honestly.
ارنولد لاعب جناح ايمن كلاسيكي تقليدي لايصلح ان يكون في عمق الوسط يفتقد سرعه بلكره ولمسه سريعه..
