In Trent's defense, he's never really been shown the love by the England camp. The message to him the last few years has been -- "You are behind Walker, James, and Trippier in the RB pecking order"
Trent holds the record for most goals and assists for a fullback in a single Prem season. Trent also holds the all-time assists record for fullbacks in the Prem. He may not have the best defensive attributes for the RB options in the England squad, but he is far and away the best in terms of attacking output.
He's been moved into CM (not his natural / best position) because he is viewed as not good enough to play at RB and there is a lack of quality options at CM.
Some players thrive on confidence and feeling important to the team. He may not be feeling the love from the England staff the way he did under Jürgen.
Either way, his performances in CM thus far have been dire. We need to keep him at RB for LFC.
