Look at today for example. Yes Doku completed some dribbles, but most times Trent funneled him to the byline or inside and Doku wasn’t really threatening for the most part. Yet the prevailing narrative is that he got destroyed by Doku.
He has actually been decent to good at defending this season yet people say he’s been a horrific defender. I don’t think this is quite true if you watch him play.
I won’t claim that he’s an amazing defender but he’s not a bad one either, he’s just a perfectly average to good defender but the narrative is that he’s a liability. It’s frustrating to see.
Allison caught the whole team by surprise, Van Dijk and Matip also got “rinsed.” It was a good counter attack off a large distribution error. Trent made a lot of big defensive plays today
yeah i actually was impressed. but 3 players in that sequence could’ve done slightly better and they wouldn’t have conceded
Yeah but same can be said for any goal. Somebody could have closed down Trent. As an LFC fan, I was just hoping to score and lose by less than 2
true. but i just feel trent needs to do a lot better than letting the defender just glide by him. more than made up for it
You can say that about any goal in fairness
Alisson made the initial error, then Szoboszlai and TAA got beaten far, far too easily.
Yes, the distribution error made the opportunity in the first place. But Liverpool don’t concede there if Aké doesn’t take two defenders out of the game with a pretty simple sidestep
So we can all agree that Trent wasn’t solely at fault for the goal then lol
