I'm fine with him playing right back for as long as Jürgen wants, but a game last night it's hard to not think of him eventually as being deployed as a marauding, central midfielder. Could become a top 5 all-time LFC player.
I think we’d lose some of his impact if he played central. Sometimes think it would make sense having him play that role but against a team parking the bus, someone who can deliver a cross like him can be pivotal. Think we benefit more from having him out wide.
I’d say maybe we should drop to a back 3 with Fab going in there and pushing Robbo and Trent into midfield but it’s pretty much what happens anyway.
Trent will never be a world class defender because he has a long way to go defensively. But what he lacks at defending he more than makes up for in attack and will always be providing a lot more goals than what he costs us through his defending.
Not saying he’s a bad defender, some games he’s right on it, but other games he isn’t. In fact, I think we actually concede more goals from the left with Robbo having a lapse in concentration or his positioning.
