Would agree that he can’t play as a cdm/6 so if we’re no longer playing 433/343 hybrid then Trent will have to play a different role.
Yep.
If I'm Arne Slot I'm sitting him down and going through all the best attacking RB there has been and getting him to buy into him being as good as one of them.
My opinion is he can be in the right system with the right coaching. He's not as horrendous a defender as some think he is and in a 4 2 3 1 with good DM cover he could thrive again.
But again it's where the players head is at as well. If he really doesn't want to be a defender anymore, as many people think, then there is a more difficult conversation to be had.
Can he be the right sided attacking player in the 3?
He's not a 10 for me either and MacAllister is that guy all day long.
