    People associate that type of hairstyle with gang members, criminals etc. Not saying it's anyone on this board but I've seen a lot of comments on Twitter criticising his hairstyle, not realising that it's a common style in black culture.

    Racial stereotyping as per usual ...

    It's unconscious racial bias. It's the same as how the media portray white people vs minorities. We saw so many articles about how Pogba's hair is daft etc but then people liking Foden's new style.

    We saw the same with how Sturridge was treated by our own fans - the guy is incredibly hard working and professional but because he dances and has a personality, people think he's arrogant, lazy, bad attitude.

    Its should be called out. That way it can become conscious, rather than used as an excuse.

    Can see it now.

    Trent has a bad game and his hair will be the problem <laugh><doh>

    Unfortunately when you do call it out, people get defensive and say it's 'pulling out the race card' or they think it's just'. The issue with this country (and everywhere else for that matter), non minorities think racism is only when you say racial slurs like p*ki and n*gger. That's just scratching the surface.

    Jesus lads. I just don't like his haircut compared to how it used to be, but it's his shout. Doesn't stop me rating him as a top player and a good Scouser <ok>

    Wasn't having a go at you pal or anyone else on this board - saw some idiots on Twitter with horrible comments and I took my frustration out on here :)

    Confirms what was said all along. Committee wanted Bobby and Depay. Brenda wanted Benteke.

    I was delighted too but not that he was injured and will miss the first week of preseason.

    I'm just making fun of his adverts and his hair do for the fun of it.

    If you recall I have a nice go at Harvey Elliott as well.

    I was happy about him missing the Euros. Would preferred him to not be picked than needing to get injured though.

    No one understands what MITO is saying so you're not on your own.

    Not bothered by hair cuts but that's a shocker from Trent. I don't mind dreads, I understand your culture comment too, neither are the issue for me. The issue is, it's been done terribly. It doesn't look good, it looks like a ten year olds done it!
