Topic: Trent Alexander-Arnold

[stoopid yank]

Anyone remember Carragher at full back? Shudder.

He was god-awful at fullback.

He could defend but this was helped by the fact that he never went beyond the half way line. Don't recall too many assists for goals neither

Assisted the equaliser (his shot deflected off a defender) against Boro in 08-09 late in the game when Gerrard scored the winner, if that counts

my favourite torres goal - the incredible volley, pretty sure carra put in the pass (from in our half)

but yeah, dont recall many, wasn't why he was in the squad tho was it

[Ghost Town]

Hmm. I seem to recall the Carra Henchoz Hyypia Babbel backline being pretty solid, and we didn't really expect him to create did we? Be interesting to see modern stats for that period

[CraigDS]

David Villa selects Trent in his best XI currently

“He is fast, defends well and has great attacking ability with his crossing and set piece play. There aren’t many players that have better qualifications in this position currently.''

In midfield?

Not once did they concede less than 30 goals in the league. For all of Alexander-Arnold's weaknesses, he became a regular in a side that first made a CL-final, the season after won it, got 97 points and conceded 22 goals in the league, while setting a new record for assists for a fullback. I know which player I'd rather have in my team.

It's absurd to expect someone as influential to our attack to be Baresi in defence as well, he's probably the least protected player in our team as Salah is playing as a striker on his side, and yet he's more than decent enough and part of an excellent defence.

Carra highlighting TAA's defending again on MNF.
 
 

Did he really?? fucking hell

Like doing a review of a Lamborghini and spending all your time on the lack of luggage space

He's part of a back 4 that's conceded the 3rd least goals in the league. Think I'm right in saying we've caught people offside more than any other team ... so how can his defending be bad?!

And he's doing this at the same time as creating more xA than any other player in the ENTIRE league other than Kevin De Bruyne from fucking full back ??!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

He's trying too hard be liked by Neville. He does suffer a little bit from Stockholm syndrome.

[SamAteTheRedAcid]

Then refused to play fullback in the return fixture,  Skrtel played there instead, had a mare and we lost 2-0 IIRC. One of the major factors in losing the league that season. Good old Carra.

Was it the away Boro fixture he refused to play right back?

Edit: Beaten to it.

And was part of the best defence in the league last season, players like Neville and Carragher are simply jealous, TAA has a load more talent than they could ever wish to have, plus is already winning trophies at the highest level, he will go down as a footballing great, these other two despite there accolades dm honours were nowhere near being of that ilk, its jealousy simple as that.

Agreed, you could see Neville with a wee smirk as Carra was whinging about Trents defending, probably thinking 'I've got this daft fucker on the agenda now'

Neville really is an odious git. Second most punchable face in the world, just behind Foden.

[Goalposts for Jumpers]

I wonder if he's disappointed not to have won the Golden Boy award...



Probably not 

Still, a bit ridiculous he's not ahead of that top 3. Oh well, there's still next year.

I'm a little amazed he's behind Sancho.

[Roger Federer]

He doesn't seem to be eligible for the award this year - he's not even on the 20-man shortlist.

Is that for teenagers. Is he 20 these days? They grow up so fast!

Isn't he 21 now? Seems to have been part of the team for years already. 

[thekitkatshuffler]

The FA are investigating Trent's gambling connections.




At least I wouldn't be surprised. 

[rebel23]

How many assists is that now so far?

Thanks.  He's halfway to last seasons total!

[macmanamanaman]

I still remember being concerned why we were depending only on a young rookie rightback from the youth team and binning off Clyne....


 ....i still think letting go of Clyne will bite us.
Anyday now.

I know you’re making a joke but I feel I should point out that Clyne is still with us

[GreatEx]

Is Sterling still eligible for the young player award? That is, if Kane doesn't win it?

[deFacto please, you bastards]

At this stage last season he had 2 assists.

Right now he has 6.

[Clayton Bigsby]

Absolutely no need for this.

Re TAA it is scary how good he can get.

[Clayton Bigsby]

Neither are eligible. It's gonna be TAA v Madison I reckon and TAA will piss it

[PIPA23]

Bend it like Trent

[stevieG786]

What a player, him and Robbo, amazing

[xbugawugax]

think young gk ben foster will win it this year. sky is the limit for that young lad

Jlingz runner up. not really progressed as he should. But form is temporary. Beans is permanent.

This list includes Champions League his assist to Robbo. He has 5 in the PL.

[harleydanger]

Trent is at 1 assist in 3.

To put that into perspective, Gerrard was 1 in 5. Scholes was 1 in 9, Giggs was 1 in 4, Farbegas was 1 in 3.

He already has more PL assists than Xabi Alonso.
