We can trace the infection from Brentford to Spurs to Norwich with Ivan Toney as the initial unwitting vector.

this sounds like a terrible situation for leicester they should probably just forfeit the 3 points to us because we're poo poo and need them and also to avoid any asymptomatic spread.

Kind of like Dani Alves back when Barcelona were good.

4 clean sheets in 5 matches in November, definitely huge defensive problems in the side

Klopp's system basically makes the fullbacks wings, and the two outside center midfielders become something between fullbacks and center mids. I think it is Henderson who usually plays on TAA's side, he does a lot of the defending work left to a more traditional fullback. Also Jim "Big Jim" Milner, who is very good at it. It works well because it helps pin the opposing wingers and fullbacks deeper but TAA in particular can get pretty exposed if he's left to his own devices deep in his own end. Which, granted, not a lot of teams are actually able to do.

In the same vein why is Harry Kane only referred to by his full name at all times by commentators, as though if they said 'and Kane only has the keeper to beat' I'm going to assume he's about to chokeslam him and fires going to come up from the corner flags

TheRat posted:I don't care enough about Trent to get mad, he just puzzles me I guess. He's just not that good? Not that good at what, though? Defending? That's not his role in the team, as others have said. He pushes on and the midfielders cover for him. Lots of teams do/have done this. Unless you think he's not good going forward, in which case I don't know what to say. sassassin posted:I get annoyed that everyone calls Alexander-Arnold "Trent" like he's a mate, or Cher. 100% agree with this, but not just for him. Ole, Zlatan, Pep, etc. gently caress off. I guess it's because those players have long/difficult to spell names, but still.

“Andy” does the same stupid poo poo as Trentalexanderarnold but doesn’t get half the poo poo about it. Hopefully it’s because he’s not English. That being said, I love them both 4eva.

Also 7:40 is great because he’s in a very typical defensive right back position when Liverpool coughs up possession, and takes about 3 more seconds than everyone else to notice what’s going on Oops a goal

Here is my hot take: Trent is a good, humble guy and a valuable player and I think he will continue to improve. I think he had a good month and contributed a lot to Liverpool's success over the last couple of seasons even though he has had bad moments as a defender.

Next pass is into a tightly marked Liverpool player who loses possession Possession has changed, TAA should see west ham will overload Liverpool’s left if the man in possession carries forward, and he needs to compress with his CB, or at least keep pace with Fornals so the right CB isn’t left on an island  What in the world  Yes this is partially due to Klopp’s system leaving the centerbacks exposed if there’s a bad pass made into the central mids high up the pitch, but Trent was in a decent enough defensive position here and got absolutely lost on the counter. Between this and the ball watching on the third goal to give Zouma a free header he was directly at fault for 2 goals in a 1-3 loss that is why Liverpool isn’t top of the league.

What I think I'm getting here is that while he's not an objectively great player - in the sense he could slot into very many other top sides and be an upgrade - what he does works for this Liverpool side. Good for him, IMO.

He’s one of the best ball strikers in the league and plays his role very well but saying he’s the best player in the league for the month in which he got owned twice in a 6 pointer is a bit much Especially when Mo Salah is RIGHT THERE
