Lots of discussions about Trent which got me thinking. I know we probably need a like for like replacement for Mo (which is probably impossible) but does anyone think Trent could do a job there with Conor behind/ overlapping him? I'd like to try it to see if it could work.

Yeah let’s stick vvd up front aswell he scored a goal once.

I could see Trent playing as the 10 in a new formation but not on the wing. You need searing pace and tricky to break the line out wide.

Nah. Loke, I’m sure Trent can do a job like how Fabinho did a job at CB for a few games. But players need to be played where there strengths are and imo where they can buy in and have the biggest impact on the team. RW would be to fill a gap not a long term replacement for Mo.

I think TAA would be the playmaker as one of the two in a 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 formation. Not sure if we will ever play the formation but he might get a chance to showcase in Gareth’s side at the Euros.

Spot on, @Faith. Why would I want to play a player in another position just to "do a job" when we can play him at his best position and sign an actual specialist at the position we want him to "do a job at"? Never understood that logic, personally.

Trent is a central midfielder and that’s that.

The only person not to see it is the very successful professional Footballer manager Jurgen Klopp.
For a player who’s not a right back Trent’s done alright there over the years.

Trents a rightback, ever since he made his debut. don't think he would ever be a regular for us in the middle.
