Another one is Salah. He can be great all game, create chances, beat his man and be a threat but if he scores or assist after the 80th minute he automatically “covered a stinker with G/A”

Matt Smith :
He isn't a good defender but is fantastic on the ball going forward that's the problem, it's why walker was first choice for England and tuchel clearly doesn't trust him

This is such a great take, it’s sad but footballers have to think about PR these days and Trent lost such a devoted mouth piece in Liverpool fans - it’s almost like he’s been forgotten now

Eze Obasi :
facts, I used to push that he was the best rb oat, now I push that he can’t defend, and Reece James is better than him

Bruno Fernandes suffers from this a lot too i think— his game has matured a lot in the last few yrs and he’s always been rewlly well-respected by staff & teammates as a leader, but he’ll always be called too erratic, too emotional/angry, hero-ball, not a good captain etc. the thing is narratives like this don’t allow room for change/growth, kind of like when your family constantly sees you as you were 5 yrs ago rather than now.

This in isolation is correct but it’s also not a holistic picture. Trent is also a player that needs to be platformed and built around, which he will

Except the narrative goes beyond just the media, every manager he’s worked under has criticised his defensive abilities.

It's Paul Scholes all over again - by the time a manager works out the perfect position for a TAA, he'll have retired

Liverpool fans were is virtual security on socials, especially against all the agendas. Now that he's lost that, all the agenda will ironically go undefended.
Trent has to be so undisputable that Madrid fans start defending him and once he gets that he will be bullet proof. Just look at Marcelo lol

I literally forgot about Trents existence since he left Liverpool

The Giroud reference is crazy to see in real time. the way ppl are forgetting half a decade of him being a horrible striker for a team that could win the leauge its just insane

Sabri :
Honestly this has been the situation his entire career, it’s just whenever this would come up before Liverpool fans would back him on every occasion, until he does something phenomenal at Madrid he won’t get that same praise and support

People always said he was terrible defensively. They got in Frimpong and they realize how good Trent actually was.

Daniel - Believe More :
Unfortunately true but this is why it’s important to think for yourself and not just go with what pundits or media outlets say. Trent has been consistently class imo

Enzo Fernandez had the worst narrative to best performance if u know what I mean

Madrid will rotate in UCL and league and he will perform when asked

panados95 :
I agree with you, and as a liverpool fan, yeah, I'm not gonna be the one to defend him now, but it's almost a bit sad to see no one is backing him anymore-- I do think he went to madrid cause he thought he'd get that recognition playing there, so it is a bit ironic if it never happens anyway he just loses the only people who were pushing the narrative the other way

Owen should be in all timer conversations but the way he left Liverpool ( and the fact that no fanbase backs him) we completely leave him out of these conversations. He should be near Suarez and Lewa (more BDors than both combined) but no one cares

Jamie :
His defense isn't anywhere near good enough to be the most talented right back. Now if you stretched it out to like right wing back maybe.
