We can't understand Henderson when he speaks, so how the fuck are the Saudis going to understand him when he speaks?

Will be our biggest threat to the title this season I believe. Trent in midfield (like Stones) will put them on another level going forward and they've almost sorted their midfield out, whilst getting rid of the deadwood. All they really need is a Gvardiol type figure at the back to replace VVD when he declines.
Also Diaz and Jota back in business this season, with Gakpo and Nunez to improve.

They'll be there or there abouts. Anyone who thinks United or Newcastle will finish above them, is being far too optimistic.

Comparing john to him is stupid , he is nothing like as talented and klopp is just trying to copy us with lesser players

Not convinced klopp has a clear vision of what he wants his midfield to do. It's all based around the pace and effectiveness of the front three and a solid defence. Both of which were lacking for most of last season and no ammount of midfield signings will sort it. Also don't think klopp is able to adapt and come up with a new system like pep.
I might come across as negative, but that's because I think they are murdering cunts.

I think you’re right. On all your points.

Quite a fair and balanced view I think.

Never once labelled him as a Phenomenon. I just said I think they will go up another level if they use Trent as an inverted full back.

You said a bit more than them going up another level. You said he was one of the best passers in world football.

How could that not be characterIsing him as a phenomenon?
 
Complex Simplicity said:
Every player goes through a bad spell.
Stones had one, Foden, Grealish etc. Trent had an horrific time of it last season, but form is temporary and class is permanent.

Just because he's a Liverpool player, doesn't mean I have to withold an opinion I have for one of their players on this forum. I'd love to see him at City personally, he's a quality player and there's much more to his game than we know. I'd love to see what Pep could do with him.

I don’t remember Stones, Foden or Grealish having a bad spell.

Is the correct answer

Might be worth waiting to see if he can replicate his odd decent performance in midfield on a weekly basis against half decent teams before we label him as some kind of phenomenon.

He has already shown that he is the next coming with his performance against Malta and North Macedonia remember.
 
Complex Simplicity said:
He definitely has the skillset to play as an inverted full back into midfield like Stones did.

What are the specific skills you need to play this role? I’m curious.

I would think it would be positioning, and that’s one of his weakest assets at right back, alongside general awareness.

It's not a crime to actually praise a player from another club. I have my opinion, you clearly have yours. I'm not blinded by the hatred for another club.

We are talking about a player who's broken the assists record from his position in the Premier League. We aren't talking about Wan Bissaka or Joe Gomez.

It’s no good being an inverted full back if defensively you are a liability. Stones has it all, “Trent” doesn’t.

Can't be a bad passer of the ball with the amount of assists he gets.

In my opinion, he's got De Bruyne like vision (not saying he's anywhere near as good before people lose their shit). I'm not the first to say this also.

Problem with Trent is that he's so complacent. His marking is absolutely atrocious, and looks like he doesn't have a care in the world half of the time.
 
Blue Til Death said:
In fairness, he’s been nothing but utter gash as a right back from day one, had a couple of decent games in midfield against limited opposition … He’s good at the set piece and as you say a good passer of the ball when on form… I call him Truant not Trent, as he goes missing a lot in big games …

Each to their own though …

I think he's easily one of the country's most naturally talented players. I just see an enormous amount of potential there, and an empty headed individual who's arrogant, complacent and lazy. When a player goes past him, he's not bothered about getting back to defend. His lack of concentration is a weakness of his game.

If Pep got hold of him, I really do think we'd see a different player, but that's just my opinion. When Pep leaves City, I'd love him to manage England and see if this theory of mine comes to fruition.

Still more worried about them then Arsenal, they are either shit or breathing down our necks so it's time for the latter

They deffo need a new defensive midfielder, and not a prospect like Lavia but someone to immediately come in

Salah and Allison are world class, Robertson, Van Dijk could return to that level

The two midfielders they signed are good players

Get that DM, they'll be back

I agree, completely.

Guess time will tell, but I think this lot are our main threat for sure.

Arsenal, far too weak for me.
