We did have a Mailbox today. You can read it between worrying about your club...
The Mailbox is talking Liverpool and says one way to fix Liverpool’s midfield problems might be a Trent switch.I’m finding its easier to watch Liverpool lately, not because we are playing any better, far from it, but more that I am acclimatising to the new norm – that of Liverpool as a mid-table outfit.
The man used to be a monster, forever stretching a long leg in and toe-poking the ball away so that we could counter attack at pace. He was never quick but his astute positioning combined with the natural Liverpool swarm, meant he was never required to cover huge expanses, just certain areas at certain times. Our defensive structure was well oiled and super effective.
If, and I would bet my mortgage this isn’t the case, regardless of our final league position we have already secretly organised a Bellingham, Rice and Mount transfer sweep in the summer to entirely rectify our problems, fine. Not dipping into the market when you have a perfect plan for the summer is acceptable and understandable.
Faced with the perennial criticism that TAA is an aberration defensively, he would grind those enormous white teeth and insist against all available evidence that it wasn’t the case. ‘He doesn’t get enough cover, he needs more help, he actually played really bloody well despite us conceding 5 goals exclusively from his side’. The defence of his defence has become ludicrous.
Plus, it will inject some youth and dynamism into our treacle tart of a midfield. Trent isn’t lightning quick but he certainly isn’t slow either. He has a good engine and won’t be required to constantly chase up and down the wing. Plus he has roughly four hundred thousand assists. The boy can pass, if nothing else he can really, really pass. Why not play him in the passy positions, Kloppo?
