The champions league final was the clue. Even Mane saw itPool in trouble bruh.
They need to do some things.
Champions League hasn't even started and thats the pinnacle of club soccer. Right now teams only focus on their leagues but once Champions League matches take place in between league games it gets even better.Fam the excuses started flying right after Man U scored. I’ve ruled them out as my team. Don’t wanna deal with that fanbase
I’m probably just gonna root for players. Americans, Mexicans, and Salvadorans (if we ever get another player in europe lol).
My main takeaway from watching 3 weeks worth of the Premier League is that regular season games matter so much more compared to american sports. The flipside to that, tho, is knowing your season is over after 4 games would kind of suck. Also, if a team runs away with the title and is clearly gonna win with multiple weeks left in the season. That would be kind of wack for neutral viewers. But I’m definitely gonna keep following along. I’m slowly getting to know these little storylines between players, cosches, teams, etc.
Was his best overall game so far. Love what he brings to the team. His agility for his size is wild
What makes him not?Verde Shuttles you told me TAA was a generational talent.
His defensive capabilitiesWhat makes him not?
Say you were a CB and they told you to get forward constantly in a match and assist in scoring/creating a goal. Can you do both defend and score? Yes, but you will be a liability on one side of the ball. Trent isn't fast enough to go so high up the pitch at full pace and try to create chances. and if it doesn't work, to then immediately track back on the other side to try and stop a counter being made by some pacey winger/counter-attacking team. Sometimes he's pushed so far up and slanted in the middle that it doesn't make any sense.He's defensive capabilities
No I get it. I do. I also think he's actually able to defend he just doesn't want to. He saves energy for offense which makes sense when you have vvd and kanoute behind you.Say you were a CB and they told you to get forward constantly in a match and assist in scoring/creating a goal.

I've been saying it for a while. Convert him into a midfielder and sign an RB whose job is to defend or leave him as RB who makes a daring run like that 3-4 times a game. With him as a midfielder, it grants us more depth and someone who is versatile enough that if he needs to fill in that RB role for a game or two, he can. But this advanced role that he's been in for the last few years is just not working out these days. He's getting blamed for the tactics of the manager. Anyone who watches football and has at least an eye can tell.
Could he defend a bit better? Yeah, but regardless the way we are playing is just suitable for this roster. He won't start over Reece James cause the medias current trend is to label him as a defensive liability as opposed to looking at the tactics. They were doing it since last season. He's better than Reece, but the difference is Reece is in a role where he doesn't have to break the norm and do way more than he can and thus, he will look good.No I get it. I do.

But labeling him generational is a bit much. He probably won't even start over Reece James
It's all based on Deschamps and player health imo.
