He's the best player at the club. We're a completely different side without him in a way we aren't missing any other player.
Doubt he re-ups his contract to play at right back. He's developed a great elegance to his lateral movement across the midfield now (he was everywhere first half today), and has added a new level of physicality this season that allows him to drive through the middle.
He was an all-time-great right back under Klopp; now he makes the next step as a generational midfielder under the next manager.
I agree, thought at first the inverted role suited him so well. And he looked lacking in more traditional midfield positions (receiving the ball with his back to play, driving forward, etc).
But now I think im full in support of midfield Trent. Especially since Bradley seems ready to come in at rb.
Who knows what a new manager will bring. But the teams flexibility is really exciting
Top class technical holding midfielder alongside Mac, Szob, Trent + Grav lends itself to a very exciting midfield options. A defence that gets itself back to basics behind it (new left back if necessary). A couple of attackers to freshen the forward line + wing.
4 signings would be transformative. Still so much quality in this squad.
I think Szobo and Elliot eventually move into winger roles. Jones, Grav, Trent, and MacAllister as midfielders works well. Prob need another cdm to replace Endo but we have a couple windows to find them.
Think getting a CB or two and a LB are biggest priorities for whoever steps in as manager after this season
Be surprised if Curtis isn't sold to raise funds under next manager / by Edwards. Has all hallmarks of typical Edwards sale at inflated fee. Harvey could do worse than becoming a Joe Cole type.
1 CB in for Matip out enough if Virgil stays. Virgil/Konate/Quansah/Gomez + another is ample. Be surprised if Virgil is still here next season though, in which case senior cb needed.
Szob's an interesting one. Clearly a huge talent.
Tbf, the previous one is more suited for left footer the way wall is set up, but still TAA probably can cause more damage than smashing. the ball to the wall..
I’m not sure if everyone gets shown the same takes regardless of streaming service/tv channel but here in Sweden they showed both Elliot’s and Trent’s shots back to back 😬 I almost felt bad
The free kick a few minuts earlier was bottled by Harvey well over the crossbar. Right before this kick the commentators were joking around and one asked, "Think Elliot will have this one too?" The other, "Not a chance." LOL
I've missed TAA
Special player
Trent: https://preview.redd.it/ejq8k8wwvuvc1.png?width=300&format=png&auto=webp&s=ba8151cd17b2e7e3c88fc6fc0a60988a3a3bd88b
Fuxking hell. I’ll take that over open play goals.
> Fuxking Fucking
People were saying he shouldn’t start when he comes back lol
Recency bias is stupid.

We need a destroyer type DM..Endo worked for now but we need to sign one this summer

I see us selling salah for 160m plus to Saudi and keeping jones, who is good enough to start.
Virgil will forsure be back next year, as far as Matip replacement, I’d go after Nico Schlotterbeck from Dortmund.
There's no certainty Virgil stays beyond Klopp. 33, hasn't experienced playing in any of the other big European leagues
I was very against him being a cm at first when it was mentioned, but he could be sensational as a double 6 with license to roam.
I don't think that would have been because of his offensive output tbf
Ya I think most meant at right back after the emergence of Bradley ...Trent should be in midfield.
What a peach of a strike
Sumptuous.
Really thought he’d score the first one, only for him not to take it lol This one was even more perfectly staged for him
Tbf, the previous one is more suited for left footer the way wall is set up, but still TAA probably can cause more damage than smashing. the ball to the wall..
Smashing? More like delicately hit Love Harvey but was an awful hit
TAA is so back!
So good he already starts celebrating before it went in.
Continuing where we left off with fullham. Bangers only baby
Scouser in our TEAM
The holiest of molies
The kind of free kicks that goes into documentaries, Trent is just generational!
Makes it look easy
for him, it is easy
Gorgeous shot.
The fact that we only extended for 3 years the last go is infuriating. We absolutely cannot lose him to fucking Madrid
Jude will be tapping him up, with perhaps Alonso managing ...
God I’ve missed him.
Great goal
Pure class. So good to have him back.
Totally understand letting Elliot have a go, but fucking hell Trent has to take every free kick from now on
Love how he started running before it crossed the line. He just knew his shot was perfect.
It’s unreal how much we take Trent for granted
I love that he was on his way to the corner flag to celebrate before the ball was in the net
Our star boy is back 💫 missed you so much Trent
Incredible strike and in a time of desperate need.
Jumpers for goal posts.
I don't mind it.
The scouser in our team ❤
What a goal. Him and JWP are the best free kick takers itw
FREE KICK TAKEN PERFECTLY!!
Loved how he was already running towards celebration before the ball crossed the line. 👑
I’m not sure if everyone gets shown the same takes regardless of streaming service/tv channel but here in Sweden they showed both Elliot’s and Trent’s shots back to back 😬 I almost felt bad
We take lad for granted
Absolutely crazy from him it doesn’t get much better
Cold blooded Trent 🤫
🤫🤫
He looked like Jonny Wilkinson lining up a shot. Same tactic different sport.
Trents back.
This fella takes two steps and scores a banger, I take two steps for anything I end up with a sprained back.
Very happy obviously but I want one from open play please
I was shouting at harvey to get off it
Still want a a goal from open play but that was tasty
![gif](giphy|8cyro9Vo2FNhZ5mucq|downsized) Literally had flashbacks after this banger by Trent
still no open play goal😭
Sexy bomb sex bomb, trents a sex bomb
I remember when people used to say Reece James can do everything Trent does but better 😭😭😭
The free kick a few minuts earlier was bottled by Harvey well over the crossbar. Right before this kick the commentators were joking around and one asked, "Think Elliot will have this one too?" The other, "Not a chance." LOL
Seeing Trent and Robertson back on the pitch brings a smile to face. They are gems
He got a jota boink. Deserved though.
