Hard to believe as good as Trent was with the ball at his feet, he was the dead opposite with it in his hands

I wonder if he was always overthinking. Also, in part it would also be deliberate as it allows the team to start with a shape for the situation - i.e. nearer our goal or theirs, early or late into the game, winning loosing, etc.. I dunno to be truthful - maybe I am a doing him a disservice mentioning it the way I did. My statement should be more neutral.

Put him in a side that revolves around the front three to score goals, rather than the back four and youāll see his output explode. Heās a top drawer player, one Iād love to have as Salahās replacement when Sahalās time at Liverpool comes to an end but itās moot point now.
Weirdly I donāt have a problem with it. I remember Tommy Smith winning the European Cup with a header from a corner. Donāt recall being too upset by it.

He looks a bit roughā¦
Gronnemark has spoken about how he got into it after recognizing how often team lose possession on their own throw ins. Given how many throw ins there are he thought there was a huge opportunity for teams who specifically work on how to get it back in play and reliably maintain quality possession. That was the basis of his work with us. While he will work on long throw routines they do slow the game down and so everyone at Liverpool felt it was better for us to focus on approaches that got the ball back into play quickly instead.
A portion of his work is technique to improve how far players can throw it and heās referenced robbos specifically responding well to that. While we werenāt doing that to pump it into the box it does increase the area of the pitch available to you and improve your chances of getting it back into play and keeping possession.

Taxi for Burn. Second yellow. Could have been a straight red for DOGSO

To be fair it did actually work I remember prior to them coming in every throw went to the opposition after that we seemed to retain possession.
