Just wondered about the Frimpong rumours - assume he would come as first choice, so does anyone know of any plans to move Trent to midfield? He would need a pre-season to adjust, but think he could be either a phenomenal Pirlo like no 6, or become our De Bruyne. Thanks for your thoughts.

Other than picklered I've seen nothing that we re in for him.

Being honest, it’s (just another) rumour that doesn’t really make sense. We have one of the best right backs in the world who is still maturing, we have two excellent prospects in Ramsey and Bradley. We need other positions improving as a priority.

What’s this obsession of moving Trent into midfield?

I think we have more interest in timber from Ajax and can see this happening if he's going to make the move it's now or never and I think he will give us a viable threat from the middle with his long shot ability. We could also switch him back to rb against low block teams. Can't see us signing timber to play cb at 5"9.

I hope he's solid ?.

In my opinion TAA has been shocking in defence and is too lazy and slow and has no positional sense at all. I’d love is to get a new right back. TAA is a great footballer. Just never a defender in a million years.

Trent is the best right back in the world. What he can do from right back is otherworldly. However, he needs to play in a system that suits him. The last two seasons have overcomplicated his game. Klopp seems to have finally identified that and reverted back to the old system, at least for the fullbacks.

Trent’s superpower is his ability make those longer passes and switches with his first touch. Nobody in world football right now can do this to his level.

Putting him in midfield would reduce the use of his superpower.

As for his defending - in the right system he’s adequate. If our system works, we’re very rarely having to chase runners in behind.

Poster Monty (born 1981?) Vs Klopp (one of the worlds best coaches) . Hmm I wonder who’s most likely to be right about Trent?

If the club can persuade him to compete with Trent then great. The kid would need plenty of self confidence and not chase an almost guaranteed starting place elsewhere. I think unlikely. Trent needs competition either way. I would go for Baku from Wolfsburg who can cover both Trent and Salah.

Okay then, I agree with everyone. Trent is the best defender in the world and never makes any mistakes. In fact he is probably the most in form player in the world and plays in the best team in the world that are also in the best form. That being said, we are struggling to compete in any competition this season and mostly this is to do with defence. But I will retract all my Trent comments. He is world class and doesn’t make any mistakes, so is Fabinho.

Today basically sums up what Trent is all about. Good to have in your team when you are playing well, but the last person you would want when things are bad. He’s had yet another shocker.

Trent’s potential is extraordinary obviously, but let’s be honest Robertson has been far more effective on the opposite side both offensively and defensively with far less natural ability, he’s simply a more rounded player. If you offered me a right footed Robertson clone I’d play him ahead of Trent all day long. Trent is a midfielder for me.

Exactly Westwood and yet again Trent was awful defensively today but fans will just blindly defend him. Can't blame tactics now because he isn't bombing forward enough. He's a midfielder as he was throughout his youth.

I just think the back 4 needs a good looking at. Trent for me at the very very least needs competition, he’s getting it so easy. VVD also, just seems a bit arrogant to the point of complacency. He’s a great defender and our best, but nowhere near the level he should be at. Konate to me looks great. But please, get rid of Gomez and Matip. I was defending Matip last year but he has proven all his doubters right this season. If we are going to play games like todays with kids in midfield, I think the defence are going to have to put in a shift. And today, they didn’t. I one did, and that’s why we lost, and it just seems to be happening every other week. Like what is the actual point in going and d*cking united 7-0 if we lose to Bournemouth. It’s pathetic and not good enough.

Like it or not, it's the way we play. Our two fullbacks need to be creating chances by getting forward. Robertson should have put us one up today and then it's a different game. It's the chance we take but this season the midfield can't offer the same insurance when they do go.

I'm sure that it has crossed Klopp's mind about TAA playing in midfield but I'm also sure that Klopp would think it would weaken TAA's best attributes.

Frimpongs manager is xabi alonso he joined the club as manager on 06 October 2022, they were then fourth from bottom they have now moved up to seventh place in the bundseliga, Frimpong made one and scored one today as they won 3-2 away from home.

"Well Done" Joe Buck he looks like a very, very good player.

His old team mate Steven Gerrard has flown to Istanbul for talks with Trabszonspor as their new manager.

Correction to the above i heard it on the radio first they are actually ninth in the bundesliga, but knowing xabi it wiil be higher than seventh at the end of the season?

Thunderbird 2 must be playing in his bedroom with his Thunderbird toys or Miss Penelope, or doing his homework for school tomorrow as he takes great delight in my posts?

Indeed in replying to a previous post of mine he said "go back to the asylum and your husband" calling into question my mental capabilities and sexual status?

it seems Trents game or the tactics with Trent has changed, he often drifts into the middle of the park where he is bound to be less effective. Whereas Robertson just stays on the outside and his effectiveness doesn't seem to have changed. He is still a fantastic passer and crosser of a ball which we shouldn't lose sight of. Fabinho looks like he is getting back to form with every game he has young Bacjetic next to him. Top 4 is still there we just need to get behind them . YNWA.

Hi 1jj,

You could repeat your reply to Monty for any football question regarding LFCs first eleven teams that have ever been posted on this forum while Jurgen has been manager, even to your own posts! unless of course you know more than Jurgen, my apologies if you do know more than Jurgen?

No one who has ever posted on this forum will ever have Jurgen's football knowledge or experience that is obvious! it also includes myself, you and everyone who writes a post on this LFC banter forum!

The posters role and Eds included is to discuss and express opinions, ideas, solutions, failures, errors, mistakes, signings to be made to improve the current LFC first team etc, some posters will disagree or agree with a posting, that is normal, hence why it is a healthy football "BANTER" forum.

I know more than Jurgen (nargh, nargh, nargh, nargh, nargh)?

Seeing Trent this season looks like he doesn't like defending and is not enjoying it. He could have done better against Bournemouth (the goal they scored) . Can he play in midfield? I don't know. But he is definitely not enjoying Right back now.

{Ed025's Note - its his boots Goan....he is too big for them mate, add to that his head being bigger than Birkenhead and i think we see the problem..
