Trent Alexander-Arnold Player Thread (D)

Yes proving that individual fcuk ups cost points in games when the team are actually on top/playing well

My initial point is Trent at right back will cost us enough points in a season to prevent a title. If you agree or dont agree thats fine but I think tjhs group goes close with a right back who when a cross comes in top of him he doesnt sh*t his pants and concede sh*te soft goals against the run of play, while I also firmly believe we will create lots more chances with him as an out and out midfielder

Sorry Brian but your talking in riddles mate. All footballers are individuals, but they are a part of a team and it's that collective that is responsible for everything that happens on the pitch. It's part of the game, sometimes a player will be fantastic and help the team score a goal....sometimes he'll be fantastic, maybe score a brace and then do a complete f*ck up and that leads to conceding a goal.
At other times he'll be a bag of Sh*t, go missing and be the cause of a goal for the opposition, then out of the blue, the same player scores a 30 yard pile driver into the top corner to secure 3 points.....the game has far more factors that decide a game, let alone a title. Believing any one player can cause any team to win, or lose the league title is pure fantasy.

I agree there are too many factors in a game to single out one particular player or incident, barring extreme circumstances. Even then, you can't guarantee a result. This is football or life in general.

I do think if a problem persists, you have to fix it tho. E,g teams targeting trent and his inability to deal with crosses

Strange how people want to take a world class player and pick him apart. Good grief any team in the world would jump at the chance to have Trent and here we are talking sh*t about him. It boggles the mind.
