Trent Alexander-Arnold - The Most Disrespected Player In Premier League
Trent Alexander-Arnold - The Most Disrespected Player In Premier League - Hry
It's funny because if you were to only look on social media you'd think Trent was a horrible player. Then you look at quotes from Dani Alves, Cafu, and Roberto Carlos (arguably the 3 greatest full-backs of the recent generations) about Trent, and it really puts things into perspective. Trent is quite literally generational, give respect where it's due.
You'd come to notice he's not made a real mistake since that early game v Bournemouth and people still try to latch on to that, I think because he's a RB not playing RB in attack people get confused and just don't know where to put him which is silly
Lahm getting major disrespect
Where’s lahm
Cafu on Trent Alexander-Arnold:
“They say you don’t defend and slate you. They used to do the same thing to me and Roberto Carlos, but I’d argue we managed to win something anyway. The style of the fullbacks has become robotic, there are fewer cuts without the ball.”
Cafu once appreciated Trent about his style of play.
The weird thing I find about Trent, is the disrespect he gets when he is one of the main reasons teams lose against Liverpool, he is responsible for so many key passes and assist that put teams to the sword, yet opposing fans behave like they don't see this.
I think he's mirco-analyzed so heavily that people expect perfection with him because he's quite unique in his role personally
@@Vizeh for sure. The British media is very critical of their own players when they're really word class. Just look at all the Harry Kane disrespect.
That's because most people commenting on social media don't understand how football works from a tactical point of view so they can't really see that most of the comebacks Liverpool had this season came from tactical changes that gave Trent more freedom to influence the game with the latest example being the fa cup game against Arsenal.
People like Gary Neville expect perfection from him yet the man himself doesn't understand how full backs have developed.
@@Vizeh Hes a shitty right back, if he was a winger or a wide mid he would be good but as a defender hes shit. His redeeming qualities have nothing to do with defense.
No one talks about how Zinchenko is an even worse defender than Trent yet gets away with it
Different types of players but to be fair I don't see many peopke give Zinchenko too much praise defensively either
@@Vizeh they technically both play the same inverted midfield role and they are both selected based on their attacking rather than defending
@@Kaijufied i feel like its due to how long both have been in the spotlight
Before arsenal, zinchenko was a bench player and had very little attention from the media.
Whereas, trent has been given more limelight in comparison.
The difference probably lies in expectation.
A lot of people would say trent is one of the best of his position but zinchenko still has a long way to go before even being considered the same way.
So yeah, id say both are with their ups and downs.
Zinchenko gets more flack than Trent what are you on about
@@Joewwbowlingvlogs Zinchenko gets more flack from Arsenal fans than Trent does from Liverpool fans, but overall Trent definitely gets it worse
I’ll always say, world cups and euros are won on moments of brilliance… whilst we have players like Bellingham, Kane, stones, etc… the only one which can ping a ball 50 yards straight to someone’s feet PERFECTLY is Trent. He is that moment of brilliance.
That individual quality is key, I get why being pragmatic and aiming to be resolute defensively first is the main aim but he’s just so good man
Exactly no one has his vision and passing ability in the England team
Kane comes close, he is honestly ridiculous.
@@PorterStats3 I agree, Kane is our BEST player in my opinion. I’m just talking about that one moment of magic that only Trent can produce, maybe Bellingham.
@@TheJWRB I meant with the passing, his passing is just like Trent’s.
Corner taken quickly has already cemented his legacy. He's not underrated, he has nothing left to prove. He is that man.
He's that guy
overrated goal
@@french_toast223 barca tears?
@@youri6371 im a real fan doughnut. its just a lame ass goal.
what real fan wouldnt consider that a sick goal
He coped well defensively without VVD, Gomez and Matip in the 2020/21 season.
Stats showed he was being dribbled past less per 90 min in comparison to Walker, Trippier and James who everyone claims are better defenders.
People act like Walker is perfect when I've seen him give away many penalties all due to rash challenges. The one against Palace in 2018/19 season sticks out for me and it's also the game where Andros Townsend scored an absolute screamer.
In any case, if the likes of Dani Alves and Roberto Carlos can carve successful careers as attacking full backs and be called world class then so can Trent.
Absolutely, people are selective I find with what to remember and what to forget haha
I think Walker has removed the rash challenges from his game over time. It's almost like he became a smarter and more experience player over time, which comes to the point; Trent is still only 25.
he is the most dribbled past player in the league, what are you talking about. In both per 90 and total times dribbled past.
@@adampb23
Wrong, he isn't and check the 2020/21 stats.
This comment nails it. Trent constantly gets criticised for supposedly being very weak defensively when Reece James, who when fit is often branded as the most complete right back in the world, is nowhere near as good going forward and in all honesty, isn't that much better in defense. He's certainly a better defensive fullback than Trent but he's nothing extraordinary either. Kyle Walker is the best defensive fullback in the league and even then he's not perfect defensively speaking (just recently he had a horrible moment against Mitoma this season even though City ended up winning that game)
When people were trying to justify Trent's admittedly bad form last season due to the lack of any midfield protection, the drop off in quality of Van Dijk that season and constant injuries to Liverpools backline, people dismissed those valid points and branded Trent a system player and without said system, he was absolutely useless
If Trent is just a useless system player because he played poorly when the entire defense and midfield was falling apart and when the attack was in a transitional phase then what does that make Man City's defense who've been constantly conceding goals and dropping points whenever Rodri is out? By that same logic are Ruben Dias, John Stones and Ederson complete frauds since they're constantly protected by the best cdm in the world?
A lot of the Trent hate comes from Liverpool hate imo. He's a generational player, someone who if I was English I would be screaming for him to start every single game for my country. It's so frustrating to see the disrespect he gets, because he is genuinely so good
Perhaps but I think that’s just a thing you see from social media where you see the worst from people, don’t see many lads that actually hates Liverpool fans to be fair personally
True. If he played in Man City he's already a best RB in the world
100% agree Trent doesn't get the credit he deserves if he was a midfielder with no defensive responsibility he will get no hate. He is world class pure talent.
His ability is insane, defensively I don't think he's bad at all either, it's almost like people wait for him to make a defensive mistake which happens once every 3-4 months then blast it everywhere
@Vizeh I agree with that. People are creating a vendetta against him. England with a midfield of (Rice, Trent and Bellingham) will be scary for teams in the euros
you think midfielders have no defensive responsibility?
@@cltuxunink Well probably less than a rb....
becuase hes not a defender, hes a midefeilder that was forced to play right back. Hes gotten cooked way too many times to call him a even decent defender.
Trent and Foden are the 2 most disrespected imo, both absolutely amazing
no there bad
I do think Foden is ignored a lot aswell and should be one of the main players in the England squad too
@@Vizeh if only Southgate actually watched Football 😭😭
@@Vizeh Derby county will will the treble with the PL CL FA cup
@@SCP-457-they’re* dumbo… if u trying to diss, at least get your English correct 🤦♂️
I'm a United fan, but Trent is the one Liverpool player that has always stood out to me since 2018. I really like how attack minded he is, and every time he progresses the ball, you could always feel a sense of danger. He's definitely in the category of defenders like Marcelo or Dani Alves in terms being very lethal offensively and okay defensively.
Trent at United would be a weird world to think of actually
@@Vizeh I wouldn't want him at United for his own good lol
Most of his hate comes from casuals thinking your right backshould only defend but then they will go and support Trippier and Theo Hernandez who are worse offensively and aren't even that good defensively either. Then they will use stats such as "Possession Lost" and "Crosses Attempted/Completed" making a case that he is a cross merchant not knowing Klopp runs the system through him, especially during the 2020/2021 campaign.
It's 100% lazy now, he had some poor form about 2 years ago but in my opinion has been solid enough since, he's not perfect defensively but a large amount of full backs aren't either
@@Vizeh Exactly! Walker was bad positionally against Newcastle for both of their goals last week, iirc. Trippier has been out out of form this season. I always say if you don't love watching Trent do his thing, you don't love football
I'll be honest. I didn't rate TAA as a right back in previous seasons because of his defensive liability, but this season, he has been the best RB in the league. TAA's offensive ability has never been questioned, but this season, his defensive ability has been just as good. Love the content mate, especially topics that aren't discussed as much as this one.
Thank you man, means a lot!
He was only a ‘liability’ because he doesn’t have the same role as a normal RB. Hell reece James plays in a back 5, yet Trent basically has to run back from being in midfield 😂
He was part of a team that conceded 22 goals in 18/19, and 26 in 21/22. He's a decent defender. He was just in a system that was misfiring and was targeted because the way he pays takes him out of defensive positions. Then he lost his confidence.
Fair enough pal. But his defensive errors are far over highlighted. He's a generational player and one of the best long passers of the ball ever in the league, he plays almost as a quarter-back. He's so good in possession, being a creator and making Liverpool tick, so what he isn't a perfect defensive player too? He's unique, and he's exceptionally good.
@@willrea9 good point.
Trent has his moments when he switches off, esp last season.
This season he's been rock solid. He was nothing short of fantastic against Arsenal Sunday.
Yeah I agree, I think he's been pretty good from when i've seen him
I started to watch football in 2017-18 after Liverpool lost that champions league final because all my friends were football fans and I wanted to be part of their banter and jokes, Trent was the first player who I really enjoy watching and made me fall in love with the spot and still he is and will be till he hangs his boots! World class
Love that mate, thank you for your comment!
People who actually know and understand football as a dynamic sports with ever changing tactical nature will see Trent as a once in a generation player. There isnt anyone in the world who can do what he does. He can play a RB, a 6, an 8, a winger and a 10. He has his weaknesses like everybody else, but he brings so much more into a game than anyone else.
When you talk about players like Marcelo, Alphonso Davies ,Jordi Alba and now Trent Alexander Arnold provide so much attacking threat that their defensive vulnerability is their third priority.
Trent defensive vulnerability is not his problem , he's such a world class player now its klopp problem to make a system which can compensate it. Trent has got the passing range of Kross or De bruyne level.
Exactly most don't really talk about Marcelo and say "he wasn't the best defensive full back in the world so he can't be elite", it's kind of crazy to see really
He is honestly so good I'm so sad that he is injured the one game we didn't have him starting we lost he is great take it from a Liverpool fan he is the closest thing with szoboszlai that we have to Steven Gerrard..
Btw Trent has been an amazing Defender at defending this season
Insanely talented player, he needs to start for England more
@@Vizeh and he has also been a great Defender at well defending the season and no one brings it up. But he will never be better than dean marney.
As a US Liverpool supporter, watching England tie US 0-0 with Trent on the bench was comical to me. The fact Southgate has a job after that performance is concerning…Trent is generational and he played 33 minutes in the tournament
As an American. He should be playing for England he’s such a talent. I wish we could’ve done something to make him part of our side. He’s a player that should be playing at the World Cup and international tournaments. But, England is on another level to us and he’s a Scouser through and through.
Aye I can't see a world where Trent would play for America but that would be funny to see
If he played for us in some universe, he’d be the best usmnt talent to ever play the game, bar none. He’s special.
@@Vizehhis maternal grandmother got married in New York City, i think that’s how he could have been eligible for the USMNT
@zachwachter8214 I think Trent Alexander Arnold could also of chosen to play Internationally for Jamaica 🇯🇲?
@@davidsaville5239on what basis? He definietly could play for US due his roots but jamaica???
I think it's also primarily because Trent doesn't operate within the realms of the fullback/right-back/invert/mesh that we've seen as the primary positions for the majority of the last 5-10 seasons. He's a special talent that takes the skills of passing of the likes of Beckham/Shweinsteiger/Xabi Alonso into a defensive position: almost a blend of multiple positions.
SAF kinda did a preview of what it was to come when Beckham was the playmaker/drifter for Man United until he moved to Real Madrid, however the play style of football/understanding of football rally remained the same at the time. Klopp is taking what SAF did and is pushing it- as formations are starting to become more fluid and more dynamic, making the static formations slowly becoming obsolete.
It's just we haven't seen it before in a defender that our fundamental knowledge of football is starting to show its age, and Klopp is fighting against that by making Liverpool so much more fluid this season, hence their current run of form. But, as a result, Trent's mistakes and flaws will be more highlighted to the basic principles of a right defender.
As a Liverpool fan I absolutely love Trent 95 percent of the time and truly believe he retires as the best Right Back the world has ever seen. I can deal with the 1 v 1 defending, but I cannot deal with how he positions himself defensively sometimes at the backpost, hes so utterly woeful at that
That's a fair take
Agreed with you until you said "retire as the best right back this world has ever seen" calm down mate you really stretched it too much
@@Ananas-280I don’t see anything wrong with that statement? As he says in the video, he’s only 25 he still has so much time to improve
He's playing 2 positions at the same time, ofc he's gonna be caught out of positions a few times. That's part of the "high risk, high reward" strategy Klopp uses. You cannot have it all, if you want him to control the game centrally as well as be prime Cafu in terms of positioning, that ain't gonna happen. You have to lose some to gain some.
@@billybutcher5975 Yes and No, Im fine with his positioning being more central or more advanced, but with Trent he has so many moments, mainly last season where he just has absolutely shocking positioning, not because he was "too advanced or central" but because he didn't read the play correctly and kept an attacker onside or let the attacker close him down at the back post and allowed the attacker to get the ball
From the moment I watched Trent play back in 2019, he immediately reminded me of David Beckham's playstyle. Amazing technique and passing range, free kick accuracy but also not the best defensively. IMO this is also why I think his natural position would be something like a RM (similarly to Becks) but because the game has evolved from the 4 - 4 - 2 formation he is stuck in a weird position despite his obvious talent
That's a very simple but clear way to describe him, I agree to be fair
Trent brings life into new football in my opinion such a skilful fun player to watch and he can take a free kick
I honestly think if england had a more progressive manager, we would've seen the three lions attempt to replicate that box midfield thing which Arteta and Pep made so popular.
Trent could start as a right back and than move into midfield to form a box with Rice-Bellingham and someone else like Foden/Gallagher/Maddison.
And than i open my eyes and remind myself that Southgate is still the manager.
I do rate trent very highly but I think southgate picking walker is more than fair in tournament football you need to be pragmatic hence why most attacking teams in tournaments come unstuck
One thing is without doubt, the insane quality in this England team should be winning something major by now, let's see at the Euros
If you look at the team we have, it is a massively offensive and aggressive team, even deep lying players like Rice and Bellingham all have attacking as their priority at their respective clubs. This England team is meant to play like Klopps Liverpool of 2018/19, high press, closing down, high energy overwhelming football (because the talent is there to do it). Unfortunately we have a manager that wants to play like Bolton from 2007.
I think we need to relax. Our entire national team squad is overrated due to our media and fans.
We don’t have any elite players other than Harry Kane. This expectation of winning tournaments is simply delusional. We say the likes of Saka, Foden, Rice etc are elite, but the truth is they’re not. They aren’t world class.
World class is Messi, Ronaldo etc. Other than Harry Kane, we have nobody who fits into that bracket.
He is a genius player, his vision and ability going forward is truly world class, not many players in the modern game can make 80 yard perfect passes in behind the defence like he does.
You have kind of become my go to. Straightforward. Honest. No unnecessary hype. Well done. Hope your channel continues to grow.
Trent is generational and one of the most disrespected players in the world, he’s one of the most gifted players you’ve ever watched!
The reason that he is my favorite player is because of how much joy it gives because of his creativity
Just subbed, finally a quality channel that isn’t just farming interactions with terrible takes, keep up the great work lad
Glad you did a vid like this on Trent he will go down as one of the best fullbacks in history he’s so under appreciated even by myself at times I have to admit but one little issue I have with him is not his defending but his consistency I think he plays all around good then he’ll perform a worldie of a game but then he seems to dip at times especially with his interceptions and tackles but overall it’ll be fine
Trent is arguably the best passer in the EPL bar KDB and probably the most creative player England have (IMO), his defensive issues are often overblown for the sake of joking on Liverpool and he's definitely better in that regard this season anyway. Given how much his composure has improved and with the absolute dearth of creativity in Southgate's England sides I have no clue how he doesn't play - especially given that Trips and Walker are both in their mid-30's and James is made of glass.
Beautiful unbiased video that even made me subscribe...it's sad that we have even pundits talk down on him consodering how important he is in the team...Well done for being unbiased
love your content man, i have been watching you for years.
Thank you mate!
With Southgate not “risking” Trent due to englands best chances, well we don’t come close to winning tournaments with “safety”, playing walker or James. May as well play englands joint best passer (with Kane) and actually try to win a tournament
This is actually a good point. You should actually make more videos about trent because he's actually very underrated. Actually spot on
Trent has insane technique but I think Klopp and Pep are the only managers who can utilize him to the best.
He deserves respect.Believe or not when I look Trent with ball
I always get amazed
‘It’s cause I want to win things’ nail on head! As much as defence is important, you can’t defend all game. You must had attack intent otherwise you’ve lost before you set foot on the pitch. Trent is a match winner as proven game after game this season, and seasons before.
I’m an Arsenal fan but you cannot deny how good Trent is. He might just be one of the best players in the prem
have never understood all the trent hate tbh, thanks for covering this
Loved the video mate and as someone who has watched almost every game he has played for Liverpool I agree with everything you said.
England doesn't deserve a quality player like Trent. No matter how much he does & how much quality he shows he gets compared to different players who are decent. If he messes up he gets screwed so badly but a player like Tripper or Walker screwup we are supposed to feel bad or sympathy for them. The social media & media in general have fucked up big time.
Can't even imagine the level of harassment he needs to go through for being a good player. He is only 25 ffs.
trent is one of those players who is just purely awesome. he’s an insanely stylized player which leads to people finding anything to use as ammo to criticize his style, even if those things are obviously outside of his particularly unique skill set. trent is as legit as it gets
Trent is criminally underrated. World class. One of the best right now.
Congrats on 400k!❤
Glad you made this video I don’t like Liverpool but like and respect Trent and his story of a local lad playing for his team. I’ve noticed too that recently he’s been getting disrespected a lot I don’t really get it tbh I think he’s great player personally. I’ve noticed a lot of the criticism has come from the other big 6 supporters but Liverpool fans well the majority of them still rate him everyone else doesn’t for some reason.
All of your points in this video are very solid!
Great vid, nice to see Trents ability and shortcomings talked about without some of the boring tribalism. Hopefully Southgate can actually figure out how to get him into the system.
"I can't even relate to what he does on a football pitch" - Gary Neville
Trent is the perfect modern footballer. A player who is perfect and essential to Klopp's system. Modern football isn't about traditional individual qualities anymore it's about serving the system of the manager and executing his tactics on the pitch. Having the right traits to fit the system is more important now. Other players like Ederson is another example of a modern footballer
Trent gives so much going forward. If I were Southgate I would certainly rotate him in more. I just wouldn’t play him against Mbappe or Vini Jr.
When its clicking for him, the upsides far outweigh the downsides. But if you need defensive stability and someone who wont lose his man, Trent is most certainly not your guy.
Great video u said it all 👏👏👏
Thank You for this! He gets more disrespect than almost any player I can think of.
Trent could cut open a well organized team with one pinged pass. The pass from trent to salah's goal against arenal was team splitting, and arsenal fans cant deny about that.
Its just very simple imo. No rightback effects the game as much as Trent. He is someone who can singlehandedly change a game. Someone like that should be one of the first names on the teamsheet, for whichever team they play
I think in Germany and Munich we have got the same problem with Joshua Kimmich. He has not the physicality for the CDM and not the pace for a RB. But he is very clever and a good playmaker with great passing and shooting. Maybe he should try the role of TAA in Liverpool. Our national team plays horrible and that could be a new system, that surprise our opponents. Tuchel and Nagelsmann are great coaches and could copy that system. Btw... nice video 👍
Trent Alexander Arnold is one of the most divisive players in the premier league. On one hand you have a guy who’s a generational talent one of the best fullbacks we’ve ever seen who’s basically a midfielder playing as a right back with his excellent range of passing and very good crossing, he’s doing things that even guys like Dani Alves and Marcelo couldn’t do in terms of their passing range and the guy has also revolutionized the role of a modern day fullback. Meanwhile on the other hand, people see him as an overrated player, a player hyped up because of English bias and the only agenda that people push towards him as that he’s not a world class right back due to the fact that he can’t defend.
Defensively he’s not bad but the thing is he can get exposed against pacy and tricky wingers and in big games that leaves Liverpool vulnerable from a defensive aspect of the game, but from an attacking perspective he’s as good as ever going forward and that makes him a player who’s simply too valuable to bench on any team. With the season that he’s having and how consistent he has been for Liverpool, I hope the praise Trent Alexander Arnold is getting much much louder than the criticism he got. A lot of people also believe that Liverpool aren’t playing him in his proper position and when watching him sometimes he can be a little one dimensional in his game, we’ll see if he’s a permanent midfielder or continues playing right back. As a right back on the field, he creates chances from anywhere and that’s an asset for any team and there’s always a debate on who’s the best fullback in the world and they have different strengths and weaknesses which is why sometimes it can be a silly debate and we have to remember that managers prioritize a lot when it comes to the type of fullback their team needs. Some go for more defensive ones like Kyle Walker Kieran Trippier Ben White and Reece James (when healthy), managers would want a creative fullback like Trent Alexander Arnold if their midfielders is all about tenacity energy and defensive cover. He’s not an overrated player and given his attacking output from the right back position for Liverpool, he can reach his potential even without being a very good defender as players have different qualities, strengths and weaknesses and I think we need to take that in consideration when discussing how good a fullback is.
Really enjoyed reading this, I can't disagree with much of what you said. The point of English bias could be a factor, as English players are seem to be easily "overhyped" and the pressure and expectation gets to them. I think the problem is that he's been so good for so long that the standards of what is expected is also so high that when he's having a great season it appears just like a "normal" season for him.
That thumbnail is spot on
Elimination round, a goal down with minutes to go, make sure you leave your most creative and most dangerous passer on the bench; Southgate is a football genius.
Actually, keeping Alexander-Arnold in midfield makes him a better defender, because he's closer to the action, closer to every ball that comes through the field. He's not a sprinter, so being closer puts him immediately in the way of would-be attackers.
Trent is a cavalier kind of player which is why he's so criticized there is no player you can compare him to but he is undeniably one of the best full-backs in the world it really doesn't matter what "Twitter" and "Pundits" have to say
2 years ago, Reece James was my number one because he was so dynamic. But Reece James and his type are brilliant acquisitions in attack from their position. Marcos Alonso use to cop it when he was Chelsea and he was so affective in attack.
Trent is an incredible corner kick taker. His corner kicks are just too perfect.
He’s really good defensively!! Top 3 player in the league currently imo
He's not very good defensively, he's very average but apart from that he is a crazy talent.
Hi Vizeh, I agree with everything on this video. But in the end not to mention Philipp Lahm as the most complete full back ever who was as good a Trent on the ball but also a defensiv beast, is a disgrace.
As for Trent's defending, I think in some games it also is just the gameplan to not follow an attacker all the way to the backline. Cause if he does, and he stops the attack, the ball will either go out of play or he's in a terrible position to launch a counterattack. However, as was very clear in the Arsenal game, each time Martinelli cut inside Konate was there to sweep up the ball. And in some cases he delivered it to Trent, who was then in a better position to go forward. Trent is a playmaker at RB, he's in a better position to dictate the play when he has a bit of room to go forward and launch a pass, which he does not get if he follows wingers all the way to the backline.
We human never love and appreciate unique and special people because we can’t accept them for their abilities but we look for their minor flaws but time will make them realize that Trent is generational talent and will revolutionize the rb for future generations
Never in my life have I seen a player more misunderstood and disrespected, “football is dead” social media cry for breath of fresh air players then disrespect Trent heavily when he’s changed how we have seen right backs
hey, a liverpool fan here. i think trent is not the ideal player at the right back, but he is not a defensive liability though..unlike many defenders in this world. his tackling is good, physicality is ok now, speed is also quite good. the thing he lacks in is def awareness, which again makes all the difference there is. but i'm so glad he plays under klopp as he becomes a difensive midfield player also covering the right side of the pitch mostly in our new system.
so he is a vital player for us as he radiates winning mentality out of him always. i'm not sad that he doesn't get picked so often in national squad. i'm scared he might get injured from there and miss liverpool games. he is so valuable for us. i think a england midfield trio of declan rice and trent in defensive mid and jude bellingham in attacking mid will be devastating. but we'll never see that in reality as people doesn't value trent's quality that much
As a Liverpool fans, i would say Trent worst attribute is concentration and defensive awareness.
since torres and gerrard, trent’s been my favourite liverpool player. i could watch him play for hours and never get bored. feel genuinely so lucky that we’ve got him
Its a difference of systems. Trent works in the Liverpool setup because the way the team play is, to an extent, built around how he plays. The England national team's game isn't built to accommodate how he plays so naturally he wouldn't fit in as smoothly as he does. But this whole thing about how people disrespect his defending is maddening. He's not that bad defensively and hes in the team not just to defend, but also to support the attack.
England scored zero goals against the US, trent not stepping on that pitch is criminal management
As a German sincerely leave it as it is Gareth, you're doing a great job
He's literally in the top 10 most talented footballers alive in the world today. It's insanity that he doesn't play from the start more often. Didn't he not even get a single minute at the world cup? Imagine that, losing in the QF in the 2nd half, you have Trent on the bench with Kane in the box and you don't bring him on. Criminal selection.
He’s a world class fullback but it’s just sometimes he gets beat way way too easy when he’s defending
Insanely Talented man
As a Liverpool fan, I could give 0 f**cks what everyone else think of Trent. He's a true Scouse lad and we know his quality. Could care less if the rest of England gives him credit.
Well said mate
Love the intro this vid
His offensive capabilities is generational, that's why his defensive capabilities got slagged even though he's pretty good. But if he don't play so offensive like how klopp want him to be, his defending would be rated much higher
As a LFC fan, I don't get why other Liverpool fans are up in arms whenever Trent is caught out of position while defending or when he gets skinned in 1v1. He's playing 2 positions at the same time, ofc he's gonna be caught out of positions a few times and ofc he'll be out of legs in the later half of the game. That's part of the "high risk, high reward" strategy Klopp uses. You cannot have it all, if you want him to control the game centrally as well as be prime Cafu in terms of positioning and defending, that ain't gonna happen. You have to lose some to gain some.
Also one thing I noticed over the years is fans of the other "Big 6" always prop up someone new to compare it to Trent and hilariously, its always Trent who comes out on top. First it was AWB (who's shit both offensively and defensively), then Reece James (made out of cheese at this point and if you look at his stats, he had his good years at Wigan)and now its Porro (who is still starting out and hasn't showed enough to be in the convo). The only other right back who's better than Trent is Walker coz he's the prototype of a traditional RB. If anything, Trent can be defined as a "quarterback" who controls the game from behind
Trent is already the greatest right back in pl history and will retire as a top 5 rb of all time. He is also the second best player this season(behind mo salah).
There are two musicians.
One plays the same song every night - he is good at it and because of the practice he very rarely makes mistakes.
The other plays a different song every night - sometimes it backfires, but more often it is a great performance.
Question: who is the better musician?
The problem is a vocal group of England fans and pundits seemingly preferring the former, rather than the latter.
I think he is a very good Rb but was always meant to be a midfielder. He is also unfortunate that being a rb he is often exposed to bad defending performences whereas you can't see his passing in his main postion.
Players ahead of their times are sometimes misunderstood. People think black and white. "he plays different of what i think a right back should, therefore he is overrated"
100%
American prem fan here. Trent is very entertaining to watch. Dude has a leg and great vision for deep through balls. He gets stuck in the mud on defense in the transition just watching the ball go by him while he has absolutely no one marked.
It's very enjoyable to watch
I think Trent is been sooo good so early doing unreal things at a young age that people hyper scrutinize him but he is generational player. If he was Brazilian that nation would love him and you’d see how they’d treat him, automatic starter
I’ve seen Trent’s brain completely shut off while defending .. like losing a man or just having poor defensive awareness. Stats don’t always show awareness . Sure he can make a tackle , but he lacks awareness at times . Going forward he’s one of the best fullbacks . Like you said , it depends on what you need .
The worst of him defending I don’t think is prevalent in recent months I don’t think, or at least the system doesn’t make it look that way as he’s positioned much further forward
@@Vizeh I definitely think the system he’s playing in this season covers him . If the center backs near him are having a bad game you’ll definitely see the worst of Trent
@@TroyAshley I agree 100%, in 20/21 w/o VVD and in 23/23 when VVD was shit, TAA was exposed. The turth is in football, you can get away with a weak defender at FB, not CB.
as an AFC fan who watches zinchenko week in week out, I found it strange how Trent gets skinned for his defensive abilities while zinny is constantly let off the hook
There is a lack of awareness at times when defending in the box, but otherwise defensively, I feel he has performed as well as any decent pl rb has been expected to perform
He’s not perfect by any means, but the idea that he’s a bad defender or is targeted very often is a stretch for me
Well said, a most needed corrective.
trent is good because hes a player with rare attributes for a right back and it requires a competent manager to play him at right back and tactically cover for his weaknesses as a right back. which is why he doesnt start for england, southgate is a tactically inept manager who doesnt take risks.
When you have someone like trent who is a maestro going forward , the defensive part of his game isnt his problem its the managers problem to solve
He's that good and earned the right that he's worth fitting in any team to suit him
I really believe if trent went into that mid spot his best thing he has and that is his passing he would be better that a defence spot
The issue with Trent's defending most times is getting caught ball watching or not marking well. If he gets to understanding where wingers are looking to come in on goal he can be the best RB as his other attributes are top tier.
Trent is by far not the worst defender in the Prem. But obviously needs to work on it a bit, because his attacking is one of the best.
Also in that Arsenal game when Martinelli came on and Trent struggle to stop him, it was only until Klopp made the change and put Connor Bradley in right back that's when Martinelli struggled to get past Bradley, and Trent was moved into midfield.
That's why you put players around him to cover for his weakness because he's that great of a player, Ancelotti did the same with Pirlo he's not an actual 6 by any means especially during those times but that's why guys like Gattuso, Seedorf, Ambrosini were brought in, Hendo was that guy for us before he left.
saying he is awful at defending and saying he is good at defending are both equally crazy statement
Mate this is a great video, it's funny how it's all gone a bit quiet on the mistakes Trippier, James, Ben White have been making this season. Trippier cost Newcastle 3 games. Trent hasn't made a mistake since Bournemouth and they won that game! Even on the weekend the narrative was Martinelli skinned Trent (he did twice, post match of course we find out he'd done in knee before that) yet on the other side of the pitch Nunez absolutely roasted Ben White for the entire second half - nothing mentioned about that. As a manager Trent would be in my team at right back every single time, and a man who has won it all seems to think the same at Liverpool and that's what matters.
If Trent was German, he'd be playing every match. He is somewhat the right-backs Thomas Müller. Simply created a new role in his position, we just haven't named that role yet. We Germans fancy intangible shit like that. For one, Trent is kind of a right-back version of a Segundo Volante. The front don't know where to go? Pass it back to Trent and he'll find room.
AND second, he is a mentality beast! Even if he doesn't play for England because of the match plan or whatever, he should be in the squad for the dressing room atmosphere!
