[Oldham Exile]

Salah and Va Dyke are/have regressed, you don’t know if the 2 new signings will work, Mac Alistair had/has limitations and Alison is prone to the odd mistake and his distribution is shit.

Seriously do not see them in the top 4

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.

He definitely has the skillset to play as an inverted full back into midfield like Stones did.
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.

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.

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

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

I think he means when Foden had an appendectomy.

 

[cheekybids]

He has already shown that he is the next coming with his performance against Malta and North Macedonia remember.

Yeah but you’re forgetting he’s cut his dreads off, apparently this means business. (They fvking believe this shit)

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

I agree, he's nowhere near as talented as John, but who is? He's a rolls Royce.

PM me your dealers number.

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.

Not sure, but if the signings don't gell and they have another season like the last one I think klopp will fuck off this side of Xmas.

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.
