      Love this quote, so true - Pep Lijnders: "Talent without fire is like a Ferrari without fuel. And fire is something that Trent has."

      Top quote regarding young Trent that, going to be some player this lad.

      Needs to start ahead of Clyne for our last two games. Clyne has got away with murder this season and has a guaranteed ( unmerited ) starting place.

      It would be fantastic to see AA nailing down a starting place next season, love it when kids come through the youth system.

      Best dead ball deliveries I've seen in manys a day. That alone was good to see. Shame Matips header didn't go in.

      Thought he looked nervy defensively, but improved as the game went on. His mistake cost us a goal, but he is young and will learn from it.  Offensively, he is very good, and the more he plays, I can see him reaching exceptional standards.

      The lad took a couple of excellent corners and also a really good free kick. I'd let him take them all any time he plays, was really impressed. I thought he did alright today, still think he needs to muscle up a bit more but he looks like a player. I thhave be Clyne will be first choice once he is fit again but in the mean tie I'm happy to have TAA in the team. I still can't fathom why JĆ¼rgen brought him off for Gomez so late in the game. You could argue that that cost us the win the end.

      He looks good. He looked better on the ball than the others. A real talent and a fan of the club. Got muscled off the ball a couple of times, but it is Watford in the EPL so you would expect that of an 18 yr old.

      Very, Clyne has a job on his hands to get back into the team..

      TAA is a starter for me.

      Outside of worrying about the offsides on the goal I thought he defended well. Back to back games in which he had a mistake that was during a goal, but those things happen to young players. What doesn't usually happen is they play this good. He will make mistakes for sure, but I think he is the best RB we have on the team and with his love for our club and city perhaps a future captain if his play continues to evolve. That's probably going a bit far for now, so I'll just enjoy the win he helped contribute to and toast that free kick goal 🍻

      It is a risk that we need to take with him. He is a little risky in defense but overall play is brilliant. I honestly think that when Clyne will be back, we can use Trent in Salah's place as well. He's very good going forward.

      He has the balls to take corners and free-kick, where Aspas to learn from him.

      Key to this lads game is to return him to the midfield which I believe is where he started from.

      I don't mind him benching Gini or Emre to be honest.

      I think that's where we'll get the best out of him.

      Mentioned this in the match thread yesterday. I think he's the best passer in our current Starting XI. Seems to be a very classy passer of the ball and has the guts to make a key pass as well. With his defensive capabilities being better than what we've got as well, I think he could make a decent #6 type. Maybe a bit undersized for the role, but if his positioning and awareness in the midfield are up to scratch, I think he'd be an improvement on what we've got.

      Clyne's a steady performer at RB as well when fit, I think TAA could improve us elsewhere once Clyne gets back. If not, then he'll force a fight out of Clyne and maybe get the best out of him.

      Absolutely nuts imo mate. He's looked so good with the ball because you often get time at right back to pick a pass. Not saying he's not technically very good (he is - and will only get better) but stick him in midfield and the first time he misplaces a pass under pressure you'll knock his confidence. Right back is arguably his best future position but I do agree it's great that it's an argument at all. We could well see him as a #6 in the long term but not yet. He is some talent, just think we need to ease him in for now. Very impressed with his delivery from set pieces v Watford and obviously great goal last night.

      Going to have to disagree a bit here. I've played both RB and CDM for many years. If you're a proper CDM, you're setting the tempo and the tone of the game. TAA was pressed for a pass much more than Hendo was yesterday and he still managed to deliver precision passes. There's a ton more space and vision in the center of the park then there is on the flank. And having a pacey winger sprinting at you to take the ball off you and have maybe one man to beat is a lot more pressure than having a CM trying to space you out and cut your options, and (maybe, but not usually) trying to pick the ball off you at which point he still has both CB's to beat.

      Certainly wouldn't suggest throwing him out in the middle of the park out of the blue against a top side. It's something he'd have to train into (could take months if it is to work) and he'd have to be eased into the role by starting against weaker sides. And obviously I would prefer for us to bring in an actual #6, but for me - I'm always searching for ways to get Hendo out of that role, think he'd be better suited a bit further up the field.

      can't one of TAA or Clyne play on the left, would seem the logical solution to our problems and they must both be better than Milner in that role.

      Hasn't Clyne already played left-back for the club, plus haven't we just spent Ā£10 million on left back too!!

      Won't be long until Clyne will be surplus to requirements.

      Again I will need to check his games with the Junior team, but like I earlier stated he started as a midfielder and not a right back.

      As per size I remember when Pep played a certain Sergio Busquets in the Barca midfield. I'm one for if he's good enough he should play regardless of age, size or experience. But then again I'm just a fotty enthusiast so cant argue with the professionals.

      I believe he's better or has a petential to be better than what we currently have in the midfield.

      Stick him there

      Hasn't Klopp already made overtures about him playing further up the pitch on the right, think you'd stifle him a little bit by sticking him in midfield, at the moment he's a perfect outlet for us on the right and puts over some decent crosses.

      IMO mate the first name if we need to replace Gini or Can it will be Grujic. I even like to see Woodburn / Ejaria get a chance there while keep TAA at right FB starter.

      Watching MOTD just reminded me what a shocker defensively TAA had today but it also highlighted that every game I have seen him up against a decent attacker he has been absolutely rinsed.

      He is no doubt a huge talent but the ask on him against talented grown up attackers is not doing him any favours.

      Just watching him play I'm not sure he is a defender I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in midfield eventually because defensively he is as bad as Moreno.

      In future for his sake I hope Klopp picks him against the defensive sides where we are going to be on top for the majority of the game.
