Trent is redefining the fullback role at age 20/21...he's a legend in the making. Rivals fans will just hate to admit it.
He basically controls the play for us...from right back!

Andy Robertson is a better all round FB than TAA for me. Almost as good going forward, much better defensively. Mind you, Mane is better than TAA defensively. 🤣
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Absolute nonsense.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You obviously see a lot more of TAA than me, but you can’t seriously think that he’s a top defender? Don’t get me wrong, he’s a fabulous player. Just think he is consistently pretty weak/found out at the defensive side of the game, when called upon.

He is a top defender yes. Anybody who believes he isn't obviously hasn't been paying attention and are basing their opinion on a few naive performances when he was 19/20.
He is consistently excellent at 21. Voted 19th in the Balon D'or, at 20, from full back.

That’s only many people on this thread that think that he’s suspect defensively.

It's because Rashford turned him inside out that one match...he'll forever be rubbish at defending after that.
Taa’s attacking attributes outweigh his limitations defensively. He’s not a bad defender by any means, he’s just nowhere near as good as the bloke on the other flank. You still have the best fullbacks in the league...
TAAs not a bad defender at all, at a young age hes already had some of the best talents around the world in his back pocket, Sane, Neymar etc.
Kante has been living off reputation for a while. Havent been that impressed for the past 2 seasons.

Hes had the odd bad game granted but how old is he 21?

Ah, the Balon D’Or, that well known measure of defensive prowess. Fair enough.
Already said I think TAA is a fabulous player. Just don’t rate his defending pretty much any time I’ve watched Liverpool on the box ... which is pretty much every week of the season. I’ve even had a soft spot for you guys ever since you signed King Kenny from my bhoys, so nothing anti-Pool from me.

While I really rate TAA and am a huge fan of his. This ‘redefining the role’ ad nauseam is so frequently repeated without any thought and it isn’t true

Robertson gets caught out with the cross field ball over his head more than Trent does tbh.

Trent simply has better technique. Like massivelt better and you only have to look at their passing and shooting for this.
I also think Salah's assists get overlooked a bit.

whoever thinks TAA cant defend just needs to watch this, theres others out there im sure, up against one of the most frightening wide forwards at the time. Even positionally he was pretty bang on that night at what 18/19 years of age?

I can’t remember the exact statistic but I believe he has the least successful tackle % out of any player in the league when It comes to one vs one take ins.
I read a good article about the language of football worldwide. We are one of the few nations who describe the position in a defensive manner with ‘fullback’
think hes proved on numerous occasions he can defend pretty well. And vs the top talent around like Neymar and Sane too. But people see what they want to see i guess. Zaha is the players hes had most trouble with but Klopp told him to just stay forward Zaha doesnt track back and we ended up winning 2nd half vs them because of it and it was highlighted on MOTD.
Interesting no one has mentioned Harry Kane yet. Still not sure if he is overrated or underrated, but you can always rely on him to get a goal for you.

If he pulled a Kevin Durant he would be appropriately rated.

There's not really any debate to be had that he should be in the top 10. Recent injuries and a dip in his goalscoring form mean he's lower than he should be.
