Which right backs in the history of football displayed such a consistently high level at such a young age? I can't think of any. He has the potential to be one of the best to ever play his position. What impresses me the most is his ability to read and adapt to unexpected situations on the field. His corner against Barcelona is the stand out example of that, but he displayed it numerous times today as well. There was that situation in the 12th minute where he let the ball bounce of the cornerflag before he nutmegged Chillwell and sent in a perfect cross to the far post that Milner skied over, and it all happened in two seconds! You can't teach someone to improvise like that.
None. There have been some quality young fullbacks in the last century but all seemed to lack something to their game, especially consistency. Trent literally has it all. Maybe he lacks the sheer pace of some fullbacks, but even so he's not exactly slow.
I have to admit, when he first burst onto the scene he seemed to be like one of those players who started well, but never really progressed. How wrong I've been, he seems to address his weaknesses and get better every week. Still some idiots at my work who say he's a liability in defence ffs.
