If you have to make a tackle you have already made a mistake.

04 Jan 2021 17:33:50
Ak what are you talking about? So its tents fault that a player comes at him with the ball one v one? Lol.

04 Jan 2021 17:35:37
He can’t defend his rates are prob so high because it all comes down his flank.

akrubbish trying to sound smart by quoting Maldini.
Jay, if it all comes down Trent's flank and he can't defend wouldn't he get beaten more and have a lower tackle %?
Trent is one of the best right backs in the world.

I think his defensive positioning is the reason why people question his defending.

04 Jan 2021 18:18:48
That makes no sense Jay Dub Red. The fact he has a high tackle % when a lot of the play comes down his flank shows he is defending well not poorly?

04 Jan 2021 18:26:40
Lol don't follow your logic ak.

TAA has developed into a well rounded defender in both the offensive and defensive parts of the game. And clearly one of the best in the World. There are reasons the comparisons with Wan-Bissaka have stopped. Good ones. He'll have (and has had) his ups and downs. But he's definitely up there with the best in the World.

I love Trent and he’s a fabulous player. But I admit he’s not always been at his best this season. I’d probably say it’s more in an attacking view though than a defending point. However form is temporary and class is permanent and the cream always rises to the top so it’s only a matter of time before he is back to his best on a consistent basis.

Guys, I think ak’s post in a quote or paraphrased from something Maldini said years ago? Something about being in the right place so you don’t have to tackle.

How’s Trent going for u at the moment lads when hendo isn’t there to Babysit his position! He’s havin a mare!

04 Jan 2021 23:23:28
I reckon Trent will be very pleased his tackle creates such discussion!
