Another game where Trent doesn't get on the pitch. I've seen a lot of back and forth on other platforms about whether people would take him back or not. Not for me personally, and I say that as someone who is over him leaving. I just don't fancy him as a player anymore. Ever since Ljinders and his Guardiola loving had him "inverting".
I really didn't enjoy the last couple of months of watching Trent at Anfield. Wandering round in the middle of the pitch thinking he's Pirlo. The days of him bombing down that right hand side getting assists were gone long before he left us. He's not been any good since 2023.

I think it's funny all the people blaming Ljinders for Trent inverting instead of the actual manager at the time.

Trent was still very influential. Yeah he didn't do what he did in 2019, but that's because players grow over time. Teams figured out how to defend his and Robbo's threats, so we had to evolve. Its crazy to expect a player to keep on playing the same way throughout. He became more of a build up playmaker than a final ball player. In my opinion, we haven't replaced him at all. Last season particularly we failed to progress the ball from deep, and this season too, we massively struggle in that.
I am not sure I want him back, but to claim he wasn't good for us since 2023 is outright lies. Our build up play was completely built around him. I do agree his performances were not the same after 2023, but I put that more down to his declining willingness to defend rather than anything else.

"Over him leaving" but still posting about him.
Sure.

Trent would transform this team and immediately improve Wirtz, Isak and Barcola by getting the ball to them early. Anyone who says otherwise watched a whole season without understanding what the problem was. It is no coincidence that Salah went from having one of his best seasons to one where he was absolute dross. Being another year older doesn't explain that. I think we had 8 different players at right back last season. I don't think they put in one decent cross between them.
Neither did any of them improve the defence. Disagree with me if you want, but I will guarantee that you are the same ones who have wiped the things Michael Owen did to win trophies for the club from your memories because he had the temerity to join Manchester United when Liverpool didn't want him and his alternative was Hull City, then in the Championship. In fact Owen should be even more of a legend, as United haven't been the same since, and his transfer did them more harm than it did us.

@Flash, I don't get it either. The same people that were happy that Trent left are the same people who cannot keep his name out their mouths.
Or off their keyboards.
Bonkers!
