He's shown with several performances this season that he still has a lot to offer, but it will have to be somewhere else. In the past, the team was built around him but we're looking for the next generation now, so he'll only play a reduced role. Part of me would like to see Bobby stay for one more season, and be happy to be sub or injury back-up, but obviously he wants to keep playing for a while. He still has enough to squeeze 3 or 4 years out as a starter for the right club. I hope it doesn't all go tits up for him like it seems to have done for Mané - and a handful of others that have left us and struggled elsewhere.
some lads don't really see what they have in terms of forgiveness almost. our fans will forgive just about any mistakes as long as they work hard. (Internet warriors never count in this) the types of clubs these guys seem to want to go to have fans that won't forgive a single slip. mane is getting **** whipped at bayern but he's no bloody worse than he was at Liverpool. he misses chances, you leave him off and he will deliver finally. they didn't. coutinho got his cash and his free medals but no credit for them. he was just another squaddie to be tossed about or discarded. wijnaldum was snorted at by psg fans and tossed aside. I hope the money compensated for it. unfortunately firmino will most likely find the same thing out there. there's clubs in England as bad like Chelsea or some parts man utd now. there's a lot to be said for a player like nunez with 25 goals and a red card and not even getting his start getting absolute idolisation.
Bobby will not be loved like he is here. He's a special player, but he's not a typical forward. Liverpool fans recognised what he brought to the club. while proffesional commentators and pundits where critising his goal output, Liverpool fans where applauding his workrate and positional play. We knew what he brought and we got the best out of him. The odd cheeky bit of skill was always a bonus. I doubt he'll get the same patience or understanding else where. Edit: I really really hope he does though. Yhe lad is a genius.
yeah his nest years are long behind him. he was the major part of Brazil when neymar was out and they actually won something. between that and winning every English and European premier title he's had a career that perhaps he could never have expected. given coutinho never achieved that level of importance yet for massive cash from Barca and sat on benches for trophies while Bobby had to fight for his cash on incentive contract here speaks volumes to the way the game considers players stardom
how many have Barca shafted over thr past couple years alone on the free or cheap market? Best of luck to him but he has inneffect retired with that move and with his latest injury I think he should get 10mins in last home game for a standing ovation and that is it. let's all move on with what we need to get better with in the meantime and save the love in for that final game imo
nah, it's a pure retirement move and one of those silly Brazil players want to play for one of the big two moves. this lot are as likely to move him on in January and absolutely turn on him in media as play him. they need to take in millions upon millions to fix ffp to give gave a contract so what does firmino think here? he'll not be registered there until every other deal on the outgoing gets done.
I was surprised by the Barcelona link. As saint says, he's not getting any more football there than he is here. The only other thing about a move there is that the Brazilian team coach might be more likely to give him another chance.
So the clamour for Trent to play in the midfield increases. I’ve rarely wanted to be more wrong but the midfield creates, yes….so a big tick there…but it also covers, defends, breaks play up…..while not useless, this is his weakness…he struggles to stop a cross coming in and gets beaten way too often and doesn’t have the pace to recover. there, I’ve said it. Putting Trent permanently in midfield scares the crap out of me. like I said, I hope that I’m very, very wrong.
So he gets beaten very easily, can't stop a cross and has no pace and you think right back is his best position. **** me
So as Personally, I think that his best position in any team would be as a right wingback, with a right sided CB covering him. We don’t play that way so the second best is at RB with a very good right sided midfielder in front of him. putting him into the centre of midfield where someone running past him would expose the heart of our defence is not an attractive proposition to me. I’d rather play him at RB in that case as if he’s beaten, they’ve still got to beat the CB’s…..so it’s less risky. like I said, I hope I’ve read it all wrong, some people on here don’t like my opinion, clearly. But they’ve not voiced why he’d be better in midfield, just rubbished my opinion but given nothing as an alternative. People like that need to wind their neck in.
aka 343. but I was told no way. trent doesn't actually have to play. radical thought. if he ran as busily as robbo he'd be a lot better imo.
My apologies, so he's not playing in midfield, he's not playing right back, where are you playing him?
He played as a "wing back earlier in the season, people moaned that he was being caught out if position. He then stayed at right back and people moaned he wasn't creating. He's gone into midfield and people are still moaning. I like where he is now. Him and fabinho offer cover for the two centrebacks, its only been two games but we no longer have teams cutting right through us. We look much more solid. 3 goals conceded, non from tremt playing nominally as the 6. Of all the problems we've got this isn't one of them. We've been moaning all season about changing something, now klopp has tried something new and we've got the result, people still arnt bloody happy. Edit: I'm happy you've got a different opinion. Nothing to fallout over. Arguing over positions, tactics and personal is one of the joys of football.
