Topic: Trent Alexander-Arnold

[El Lobo]

Don't think he minds the headlines to be fair. Walker, Trippier and White who's been playing as a RB will go before Trent for him. Think Walker will be fit. The over the top criticism of Trent is ridiculous and Southgate doesn't help it.

When he's got a 26 man squad he's got plenty of scope to cover himself, he'll probably take Sancho for the same reason.

[Garlicbread]

I think he's definitely gonna be in the 26. Walker doesn't even play as a RB for England does he? He's one of the CBs I think. Hell, Trent was even selected Euros even if Trippier, James AND Walker was there admist rumors he wasn't gonna be included. Only an injury stopped him from taking part in that tournament.

Now if he's gonna play any at all. That is debatable, maybe a dead rubber group game if England has already qualified like the last World Cup.

And to cover his ass because if Trent gets left out, there's gonna be quite controversial and a big story and I think Southgate wants to avoid that.

Reckon he's nailed on for the squad but he'll only start if there's a dead rubber group game or third place play off. Might get a substitute appearance if they're desperate for a goal.

Mainly, he'd be a great impact player to bring on if needed. Southgate at 0-0 or 1-0 is as negative as they come but when forced to go for it he'll bring the creative players on.

According to the Guardian Ben White is being recalled.

In the same piece it says Trent is expected to be involved too. If anything Gomez probably won't be in it if Ben White makes it.




Tomori>Gomez apparently.

[Red Giant]

It seems he has bulked up needlessly quite a bit. Needs to be leaner. Random observation but had to be said 💪

Totally unique observation too!

[FlashGordon]

He hasn't exactly turned in to a linebacker in the NFL. He's not overly big, he was quite skinny. He's probably lost a bit of zip due to being overplayed. He was at his quickest ever last year and he had already bulked up a bit by then.

Did it really have to be said...?




...and said yet again?

[Knight]

I think Trent might have bulked up too much. Don't think anyone else has noticed so thought it worth a mention.

[darragh85]

the rumour is that trent wants to turn his attention towards Mr Olympia

["21C or 70F?" SchizoidWeatherMan!]

TAA said Hendo is criminally underrated. I tend to agree.

He himself is criminally underrated by non Liverpool fans.

[darragh85]

underrated by England because they havent a clue.

If henderson was in France or Italy he would be one of the main leaders in the team.

Imagine having the only player that has actually won something as a captain sitting on the bench while a head banger like Declan Rice plays and is highly regarded.

To be fair I think he's a pretty good player. England's midfield should be Hendo alongside Rice and Bellingham.

[Hazell]

That pass for the first goal, oh my. In fact, his passing in the first half overall was sublime.

in the first 45 we had Trent back.

[kavah]

Yes, what a pass, what a player

[Ghost Town]

Defensive masterclass

So no-one will mention it

[Chakan]

Was fantastic today

[Samie]

I don;t think he can defend lads.

[CS111]

Didn't put a foot wrong tonight.

[Wabaloolah]

absolutely had Barnes in his pocket, thoroughly deserved MOTM

[Zizou]

In brief, he was brilliant.

[Gnurglan]

Loved the way he defended his flank tonight vs Leicester.

[stockdam]

Loved the way he defended his flank tonight vs Leicester.

Yes he played very solidly.

[Rosario]

He’s looked a hell of a lot more like his old self these last couple of games.

[SerbianScouser]

It blows my mind he's still on 0 assists.

Surely it's only a matter of time before he starts doing his thing again.

[kasperoff]

Defended very well tonight. Looked really focussed and worked really hard. All basics to be honest, but he’s not been himself. Good to see him back.

[Caps4444]

Played well, especially defensively.  Only minor negative is the constant clipping the ball over the top.

[farawayred]

Can't defend.

[Clint Eastwood]

Great defender, needs to work on his attacking though.

[slaphead]

From the very start Leicester tried to target him, They kept trying and he kept showing them how good he is and Leicester looked frustrated. Very honest in his interview too. Great to hear. Keep it up lad

[macmanamanaman]

Great defender, needs to work on his attacking though.

cheeky swap with AwB?

[farawayred]

Why wouldn't Trent get an assist for the first goal? It was his shot / pass, it's not like Faez got the ball on the edge of the box turned to his goal and shot from there...

Official statisticians never give an assist when the opposing team scored an own goal. Cause its not an assist in the traditional sense, its an error leading to a goal from the defender.

Just like he didnt get an assist for the own goal vs Bournemouth

Fantasy PL do award assist points for those though, but he won't get one for the official record books.

[nerdster4]

Really well done

Wonderful defending followed immediately by a wonderful assist

[MonsLibpool]

He has been very good since the restart.

[RedBec1993]

He’s improved massively defensively and it’s slipped under the radar.
