I guess its fatigue but just like Salah he is looking worse. The amount of wayward passes from him has got worse.
Unfortunately we can't rest him. as a a below par TAA is still better than ageing Milner at RB.
 
Don't like to see him roaming infield like a headless chicken. When Hendo is not playing nobody goes wide and we lack the width on the right.

He needs to do his own job and let the others do theirs.

Can anyone also explain for the spurs goal when the ball went high and long to Kane, what the hell was Trent doing in the middle of the park? He didn't make a challenge and the rest is history.
 
He's been a bit annoying lately, in that he's playing like Riquelme, lazily drifting into the inside right half space and waiting around to play the perfect through ball.

As a consequence, Salah is continually marked out of the game, because we have nobody making the run outside of Salah.

A little bit of back to basics is needed.

So why not play either Fabs at rigth back or better still
Gomez?

Its been multiple games where this has happened; i don't think it's trent getting lost and walking to the centre circle. Clearly klopp is telling him to cut inside; arguably to open more space for mane/hendo/keita to move in to

Yea that’s the impression i was under too. Last match he played a cracking through ball from a central position then stayed in that space for a few minutes attempting more of the same. No idea if the first occurrence was chance then he was told to stay there and try it some more or not.
 
The Title is gone. After City being knock out of the CL, they only have one thing to aim for now, the Title and I can not see them dropping points.

We should Play Gomez in the Fa Cup Go with Jota Mane and Salah as too.
Southampton Gomez at RB, Tsimikas LB and Konate and Matip at CB resting VVD again, front three Origi Firmino Elliott
For the Wolves game I would Go with Gomez for 50 - 60 mins RB &Tsimikas LB, Play Jones and the OX midfield a forward line of Minamino Firmino Origi,
I would drop Diaz, Salah, Jota Mane, Henderson, Fabs and Thiago, don't even have them on the bench

resting the likes of TAA, Jota, Diaz, Mane, Salah Henderson, Fabs and Thiago for the CL final.

"IF" City lose their next game then we can always reconsider the choices, But I can not see City dropping points and we have to give ourselves the best chance of picking up another CL Title
 
I never get the need for the Trent hate on here. I wouldn't have any other fullback in his place.
It not "Trent Hate"... You don't own a champion race horse and rest it in every race, or have a prise fighter and fight him every week,
He is normally a 8/10 or better player. He as looked like a 5/10 player of late. Needs the rest
 
I never get the need for the Trent hate on here. I wouldn't have any other fullback in his place.
No one said he is shit, or is asking for hm to be sold. He looks shattered, and though he can still the occasional worldie, his lapses sometimes gives the opposition the advantage.

No one hates him. I think most of us just think he might be over complicating things by running all over the pitch. He should go back to basics, stay on the right, preserve abit of stamina during games and get his game back. We need an all firing Trent for 2 finals.
 
Let’s just sign Ward-Prowse for the free-kicks. We haven’t bought a Saints player for too long!
Not against the idea, if he is available for under £30m. He is 28 this year, so I wouldn't want the club to splash £50m on him, which is what is quoted they wanted for him not so long ago
 
Love Trent, but he seems to have many lapses in concentration lately.
Quality is a bit off. I imagine he is mentally drained.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has said his appetite for silverware has only increased after becoming the youngest player to win all six major trophies available to an English club.


Liverpool’s FA Cup victory on Saturday ensured that, at the age of 23 years and 219 days, Alexander-Arnold has won the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Club World Cup and Uefa Super Cup.


Alexander-Arnold is the sixth player to complete that sextuple after Ryan Giggs, Denis Irwin, James Milner, César Azpilicueta and Andreas Christensen. Only Cristiano Ronaldo, when aged 23 years and 109 days, won the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup at a younger age than Liverpool’s gifted right-back.


“It feels special,” said Alexander-Arnold, who made his first-team debut less than six years ago. “Growing up you never think you will win all these trophies. You see legendary players who do that and you think it is unbelievable. To be able to say I have done that at such a young age is a dream come true and it is motivation to go on and carry on winning more trophies.


“Hopefully there is a lot more to come. The motivation is to win them all again and keep winning and keep adding to the trophy cabinet.


“Days like Saturday help me. I think it comes from within and thinking about what I want my legacy to be and where I think my potential is as a player. The sky is the limit really, so I want to push on and never be satisfied. I will keep my head down, try and win more trophies and hopefully at the end of my career I can be proud of what I have done.”


The FA Cup triumph against Chelsea also completed the set for Jürgen Klopp, who became the first manager in Liverpool’s rich history to win the European Cup, league title, FA Cup and League Cup. Liverpool could yet add the Premier League and Champions League to this season’s trophy haul and Alexander-Arnold credited a fellow member of the sextuple club, Milner, with maintaining high standards inside the dressing room.

“He is someone who keeps us all on our toes, he is massive in that dressing room,” Alexander-Arnold said of the 36-year-old, who is out of contract this summer but has been offered a one-year extension by Liverpool. “He is one of the biggest characters I have been around and it is credit to him.


“It is no surprise he has carried on winning everywhere he goes because he is relentless in what he does. He instils that mentality in us and he embodies that. Five years ago if anyone had told me I would achieve what I have achieved I don’t know what I would have said. It is very special and, hopefully, in five more years I am in an even better place than I am now. It has not gone too bad so far. Five or 10 years’ time and we will hopefully be talking about bigger and better things.”


Liverpool have won three consecutive finals against Chelsea on penalty shootouts and with a different goalkeeper in each one – Alisson in the FA Cup, Caoimhin Kelleher in the Carabao Cup and Adrián in the 2019 Super Cup. “Three different goalkeepers, three times winners. I said that in the changing room,” the goalkeeping coach, John Achterberg, said. “That is what you want. You need a little bit of luck as well as hard work. It makes all our day.”


Achterberg described Alisson’s performance at Wembley as “outstanding, awesome”. Klopp dedicated the trophy to neuro11, the company which has worked with Liverpool for the past year on penalty technique, but the goalkeeping coach insists ultimate responsibility for the team’s spot-kick success remains with the players.


“We work on things but in the end Ali makes the final decision,” Achterberg said. “We discuss everything. They have all been practising a lot on penalties this season. Obviously the guys from Germany came to work with them specifically, but more and more players have been practising after training and getting confidence. It is a big credit to them all because it is big pressure to take one. You win as a team. We analyse all these things and there is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes.”

Trent’s consistently influential and obviously plays a very bespoke - Klopp coaching driven- marauding right back role.

Quite how some fans still don’t get that is beyond me.
Exactly.

There is no way a right back would be allowed to drift into central midfield (for almost any team, never mind Liverpool), the way Trent did for large portions of the first half without getting a bollocking and substituted without the manager encouraging it. It was a deliberate strategy to try and catch Chelsea out with his passing. And he was outstanding as a more conventional right back from the second half onwards.
