Trent Alexander-Arnold Player Thread (D)

We need pace to combat Vardy I would stick Joe on him.

Fabinho plays RB for Brazil doesn't he? Could do a job there. Though I think we'll start with Neco and see how he fares first half.

Fab definately able to cover RB if needed suppose depends on Thiago availability

Hes a huge loss is Trent. Vital to the way we play with his assists and all action style.

Will miss his coast to coast passes to Robbo this month.

yes, but this is great opportunity for Neco to step up, I've seen glimpses of how he can play before, he needs to play with more confidence gong forwards again.

TAA being out is as big a miss as VVD - he is a key player

It depends who we replace him with. If it’s Milner then it’s a massive drop off offensively but if it’s Neco then it makes up a lot of the offensive output though obviously not all. Defensively it’s not like Trent is great so not a huge miss there.

Can anyone please explain to me what he was thinking with that short pass on the very last corner?

We all know the Ref is gonna blow his whistle at any second, get that F***ing cross in to the box....we could have got a header, an own goal or even a penalty to win it but we will never know coz Trent had a brain fade and passed it short to Ox! Pissed me off that did!!!

He was awful today

Can’t remember if he ever had COVID but this season by his own standards he has been abysmal.

Said it in the match thread was weary and has been poor for a few games . Think he did have Covid pre season didn't he but really can't be an issue now can it

Did a pass in  that first half that was unreal. Just gets accepted as the norm but he is so talented.

Made a cock of a few to..

Yep he starting to believe his own hype, yes that was one hell of a pass but he did F**k all the rest of the game, looked like he couldn't be arsed. Some of those corners were abysmal.

Hasn't been at his best since coming back from injury,  hopefully will be up to speed soon

I think he had one good game, but I agree he has been below par.

Trents form has been awfull since his injury and the is no one to push him

When u watch James and Bissaka defend you see a stark contrast in what he provides on that side of the pitch. You ignore it when he is pinging assists, but he isn't doing that anymore. Robbo definitely starting to pull away from him in pure FB quality.

Buying a dude like James might be a nice move in the summer and allow TAA to get in the MF where he belongs

TAA has always benefitted defensively from having Virgil back with him so it’s no surprise that he looks a little suspect defensively. That said, he’s the best RB in the world and will continue to be for the foreseeable future.

Absolute bollocks I'm afraid. You're taking the best RB in the world and about 20 assists a season out the team.

Would just be another player in the midfield and you'd be taking his crosses out of his game.

He's been woeful this season so far no doubt but no need to knee jerk. He has far more talent than all the other right backs in the league and he'll be back in form before you know it.

I dunno mate. I could honestly see him being just as productive in the MF as he is on the flank. His effort just hasn't been the same since return from lockdown and his quality has definitely dipped. Perhaps its an injury he's playing through. I dunno. What I do know is teams target him an awful lot and he's not had the quality going forward this season. TAA is an amazing talent and I think the freedom to attack without as much pressure on defensive duties might open the team up a bit. I could see him being the next Xabi Alonso.

Think this place will be busy come full time....

Honestly, needs to sort himself out.
Been shocking now for a while and has, somehow, gotten even worse tonight.

Almost as if he believes his own hype and doesn't feel the need to try anymore.

Back to basics lad. Just head it out for a corner.

Needs dropping.
