Also you know fans seem utterly obsessed with money and spending. Those who were getting ready to moan about not spending are now moaning that Adidas will be pissed off about the Wirtz deal.
He’ll still make the world cup squad though. This is Tuchel experimenting around with his team. The uproar if Trent isn’t picked for the world cup squad will be massive.
That won’t bother Tuchel much. If Trent doesn’t get any playing time and only comes off the bench for a few minutes every now and then, Tuchel will be able to justify it.
He had wayy more of a chance of winning individual honours at Liverpool than anywhere else. No other top team has the luxury of leveraging his offensive skillset while covering up his defensive shortcomings.
At this stage of his career I highly doubt he can change.
Not interested in mocking him either. Have respect with what he’s done with and for Liverpool and also what the club has done for him. I wish him the best.
He’s not a Liverpool player anymore. End of. Whatever he does in his career isn’t for me to judge.
It’s not a disaster yet. He’s always been in and out with England for reasons we all know.
Now it’s up to him to claim his place over Carvajal, which he’s capable of doing.
I’m not going to cry or gloat either way.
If it’s daft to write off Kerkez after a couple of games, then it’s daft to write off Trent.
His biggest danger is their recruiting strategy. I wonder if they thought they were buying a right back. We know Trent isn’t that - he is a playmaker and needs others to cover for what he bring offensively.
