    Oh come on. We were a whisker away from a quadruple last season with Trent at RB in a 4-3-3.

    Thing is, always had henderson there to cover with his energy plus fab in a dm role to move across so never really wanted an issue on the break. With Elliott there not quite same defensive ability and seems like being targeted more and more.

    Wtf is she on about? Trent has never been as fast as Robbo, Mo, Mane, Virgil or even Joe. How do they get on these programs?

    The effort and the press was there, we have some players coming back that really give us opportunity to play how we want to play.

    Is is ok that we’re a few injuries away from not being able to do that? Probably not, but it’s September now and ain’t changing so just get over it

    Rio talking sense, showing that trent the new whipping boy wasn't at fault for the goal. He's moved to cut the pass out, matip should be covering.

    Regardless though, the question has to be asked do we want a solid right back, a Gary neville type or do we want what we've got a once in a generation talent

    Hendo had a little more running and pace then Elliott. If we're playing those three I mentioned in a 4-3-3 we will concede goal down that flank. I'm absolutely not saying Trent is a bad player - but he's an ordinary defender at best.

    That's not how I interpreted what he was saying. And Trent deserved whipping (and several others) last week, let's be honest. You're right about the talent though.

    He'd be a decent right back if he was...ummm - on the right, at the back. Even the Greek had to cover for him tonight.

    So the issue is not Trent or a 4-3-3, but rather who is played on the right of the 3 in midfield.

    He’s 23, just made his 50th appearance in the CL and has made 3 finals…

    He can do things that most cannot do, he should be embraced and challenged to improve - not battered and focused on week in week out

    I'm sure I've seen Trent cover across for whoever has played LB in a few a few games before.

    The issue is Trent in a 4-3-3 at rb when he has no pace in front of him.

    Congrats.

    Parole, full term or compassionate release?

    Not a chance mate.

    Matip is picking up no 7

    Trent has done the dumb thing, he's looked right at his guy and the half wandered has switched off in the general direction of the ball when salah is on blind. All he needed do was track his man.

    That's it.

    Matip is supposed to mark two?

    It's that simple, it's a really simple job to track that run and there is no danger.
