Clyne could only dream of being that good with the ball. He’ll have a tough time next season getting his place back if TAA stays at rb.
I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but something else that's so impressive about this kid, before the City game he had been destroyed publically by how poorly he dealt with both Rashford and Zaha, instead of letting that destroy his confidence, he came back stronger and completely bossed probably the best out and out winger in the league, that's a massive credit to him, and suggests he's going to keep getting better.
I suspect he'll do another season at full back, but fill in at midfield for some games with the aim to bed him in gradually as well as give us cover in a couple of positions.
Cup games have Trent in midfield written all over them next season.
The only reason why I am not so sure that will happen is the way Klopp treated Milner last season.
He trained and played solely as a left back, even on occasions when we thought it would be good to see him play as a midfielder.
Likewise this season he plays solely in midfield and doesn't seem to come into consideration for playing full back.
I think in Trent's case it will be one or the other, not both.
True. Although, perhaps he's just not good at defending right footed wingers playing on the left, looking to cut inside?
Leroy Sane is double footed and came inside a lot during those games, TAA worked on defender these players, and definitely improved.
So, he’s Brazilian.
Argentinian.
This. I think most would have been happy to see him benched if we had Clyne fully fit before the last 3 games.
He's young so I expect ups and downs but he took that criticism in his stride which bodes very well.
Long way to go mind, flanno looked superb in 13/14 and look how he turned out
That's a huge call. He has bags of promise to be a top player but the best in the league?
Potato potato
I didn’t think Flanno looked superb at all.
He did well defending in most cases but was obviously a very limited player.
*searches for the Spurs away thread 13/14
He was a solid enough right back, buy offered fuck all else.
Hard in the tackle
and he knew how to put his foot in too
Don’t mistake the euphoria around a local kid doing well for himself versus everyone thinking he was the best rb around.
Trent’s long term position, and maybe his defensive deficiencies, might be up for debate. But he’s super talented and will be in the first team or at the very least the squad for the next decade. Don’t think the sentiment was the same for Flanno.
You, again, went against the grain and laid into a local lad, a young one at that, that was doing well for himself.
Saying we could do better than Flanno might have garnered a very different reaction than ‘he’s shit’.
Seeing as you seem to care, something to think about.
I didn't say that he was back then, I'm saying it now, because I couldn't be arsed wording his shit-ness in more than one word. Yes, of course I used sentences like "not talented enough", "not Liverpool standard" or "not ready" etc to describe him because he WAS a kid. He's now a grown ass wife beater.
Also, saying he's shit is a bit subjective isn't it?
I mean compared to me he's fucking Cafu.
Compared to Cafu he's fucking shit.
You’re not in the minority. I agree.
But then I’ve never watched him play in midfield. If he’s miles better in the middle, then it would make sense to bring him inside.
If he’s ready I imagine Klopp will test him in the domestic cups.
I’ve no idea what point you’re trying to make there.
That's starting to make more and more sense, but he needs to make the move pretty soon if it's ever going to happen.
He only played in midfield at academy level. Since the U-18's he's been playing RB. Ashley Cole was a striker in the academy and then become a LB.
If it is going to happen, its not going to be anytime soon. I can see him competing with clyne at RB next season and physically he's definitely not ready. So are we going to build him into a quality RB and then switch him a few years down the line? I just can't see that happening.
[article]Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists Trent Alexander-Arnold's future is NOT in midfield.
There's a school of thought that the Academy graduate will ultimately play in midfield but Klopp says that isn't currently part of his plan.
"You need on the wings all that Trent combines. It is the speed, it is the cross and you cannot use these crosses from midfield," Klopp said.
"I have no reason to think about another position. I know he played the No 6 but that wouldn't have been possible last year (because of) physical things. He is growing in all parts which is good but I don't think about another position."[/article]
