What’s the consensus on Trent….will he keep playing the inverted fullback or will Klopp ultimately move him to midfield full time? And if so, hat midfield position does he occupy? Don’t know that his defensive capabilities are such that he could occupy a Fab type role. Would he play more centrally as an attacking mid? And if he does make a full time move, how does that affect who we look to bring in this summer? Does that negate the need to bring in 2 mids and leave us needing just one and the another RB? Feel like this new role has given us a little boost but does it then create some other squad conundrums for us?
I'd like to see him playing central midfield, more as an 8 than as a 6, but of course these roles are not really set in stone. There are a lot of nuances. I imagine Jürgen will give both Bradley and Ramsay the opportunity to win the right back job in preseason, and you could still see another right back brought in.
As far as midfielders go, the biggest question to me is whether Fabinho will be moved on. He's been better the past month or so, but still is short of where he was, but he should still have some sell-on value. Henderson will still be in the squad. Bajcetic will be back. Curtis Jones seems to have reclaimed his future with the team. Harvey Elliott will be part of things. Thiago is still here, but to me
at least one top midfielder needs to be purchased, along with a center back and maybe a right back. These are players ready for the first Xi rather than any teenagers being bought (not that we won't do some more of that, just that these won't be the first options for the starting XI).
