This was a poor job by all these guys. They completely missed what he was saying, turning it and twisting it to make it sound like he just woke up and wanted to start defending. That’s not what he was saying. How about Walker’s defending in the Euro final? Had that been Trent the conversation would still be going on. Maybe look at Klopp’s tactics. He forced Trent so high and wide that he was constantly isolated in wide open spaces when tracking back. But no, these guys just say the same old garbage.

Funny, Trent played against Barca and kept them out when we won 4- nil. He was also considered the best right back in the world while winning the league and Champions League with the Reds. It was only after the worst season under Klopp that people started questioning Trent. Trent was a scapegoat for a an ageing midfield that had run out of gas and since then he has been as good as anyone else in world football. Defending is a matter of attitude at times, and to hear Trents statement, he is trying to get even better, and that's great, but I'm sick of this Trent can't defend bullshit.
I agree with you 100%. Trent is just saying the new coach should him improve as a player,.. it's not necessarily a criticism of Klopp. That is the job of any new coach in any club.
It's not about defending. It's about desire. Desire to track your runner all the way. Desire to get back in position knowing that you're teammates will be exposed. Desire to win every individual battle. Alexander-Arnold The Great is a weak cat.
@@alexndirangu8259 Says who? I haven't seen anyone claim Alexander-Arnold The Great is an FSG Liverpool legend. Do you consider Giroud to be a France legend? 🤣🤣🤣
With Klopp, he always tried to protect him, particularly with Henderson and the way the midfield was setup when it was at its peak, the problem was more the last 2-3 years where that midfield was no longer up to scratch, and changes made to the midfield exposed Trent more. To protect him again, Klopp pushed him more inverted into midfield. I'm sure the coaching staff did work with him, but their answer was more to try protect him or reduce that responsibility. The good thing is it ends the debate on if Trent wants to be a midfielder or a full back.
Klopp should have protected him by selling him. Then, he could do all the pretty boy things for clubs like West Ham and not worry about the uglier side.
@@cjewe1z What a mistake that would have been, how would he have replaced nearly 100 goals and assists, and certainly there would be no comeback win over Barca. Almost every player in his squads played their part in Klopps era, Trent played a bigger part in that success than most.
I am just happy that Trent is so engaged now, it might mean he stays! Like it is said here maybe Klopp was protecting him more as he was younger but now he is a senior player.
4:21 hes not far wrong but more serious. But not Van Dijk, Konate as him continuously covering Trent defensively has played a part in why he was continuously injured, being around 6f4 and all that sprinting
@@ginomoujik8488 Maybe is contributed to the amount of injuries Matip got as well. Also, Konate is not just tall. He's very bulky as well. Probably even more than Van Dijk. Of course, he's going to get injured sprinting, trying to cover that donkey, Alexander-Arnold The Great.
No but its a matter of perspective-situations change, teams change and the game changes. There are reasons why he is the vice captain and that statement is one of them. He steps up and commits to improvement publicly. You guys are wrong.
At this point, it looks like you guys are just hating... Trent has been acknowledged by many people, even outside the country. Even the legend himself, Roberto Carlos, admires him. It's sad that these kinds of comments come from so-called journalists in his own country. He's so good with the ball, yet people focus on his mistakes and call him the worst defender. As far as I'm concerned, he's never been a bad defender. You were never close to what he has achieved as a player, nor are you anywhere near his quality. So maybe try to work better now, so people might remember you as good journalists.
Trent sees the media like all of us and knows people criticizes him for his defending and its expected for him to say this to Slot and try improve on it
It's obviously about his contract, imo. Too many people are saying "He's not a good enough defender, it's ok if he goes", but he must want the big money contract.
TAA sounds rather immature here. Klopp has improved probably 90% of the players in his managerial career. He gave TAA his big break in football and gave him the freedom to utilise his strengths. Defending is about focus and effort, and TAA wanted to play MF so it’s on him if he’s not better defensively
No, he shielded Trent in play, made Hendo and Konate cover for him. Whether or not he was worked with especially to improve his defence Im not sure. But not at the level he claims now.
Arnold's comments are a classic targeted 'come and get me Real Madrid because suddenly I'm serious about my defending' moment. Nothing to do with Liverpool.
It also could be him preparing for the worst case scenario to make himself look good so he doesn't get the backlash from the fans. Why is he talking about becoming a better defender now? Even if he had ambitions of being a midfielder, he would have had to do some defensive work. Alexander-Arnold The Great is a fraud.
you guys taking it out of context. You have no idea if Klopp just wanted him to be more free in games, which it looked like over the years. Trent only started showing defensive issues when hendo got older and Gini left. Obviously the game plan was to get Trent further up the pitch and have Hendo Matip and Fab cover his defensive duties and you no what it workek because they won trophies. So I don't get what this discussion is about.
Klopp defense is difference to others, Klopp likes attackers do more off the ball to prevent any passes that give wingers easy run on the wings as his attacking style keep wingers busy helping on defense. How dared these people criticized someone who know more than them and do well in coaching
Pundits taking what Trent said and making it sound as if Klopp was not trying to teach him. Absolute nonsense, its very likely that Klopp kept everything in house and did not want his players talking like this to the press. Its also likely that Arne Slot likes to see that attitude they are different coaches doing things slightly differently after all with there squads.
Not quite. They were rightly ridiculing Alexander-Arnold The Great for realising this now. It's better that this donkey keeps his big mouth shut. He has nothing of value to say. It's always about 'me'.🤣🤣🤣
Doesn't really matter what they say the fact of the matter is Trent Alexander Arnold has been slightly better in defense this season and it has shown. So I'm happy, in life not everyone is going like and understand what you say or do. TAA just keep on improving under Slot's guidance 🙏🏽.
Better late than never. Some players in the past ,current and future will never learn until the day they died. That is life of most people in every all walks of life.
Good. The FSG Slot Machine is letting him know that he will do whatever it takes to win games. He doesn't care about Alexander-Arnold The Great's ego and need to be loved. (That's Mrs. Alexander-Arnold The Great's job.)🤣🤣🤣
Klopp relied on Trent to not defend properly, the entire strategy under Klopp was built on it. It's not obvious to me that Slot should be either.. I don't want to see Trent in the back third basically ever, or he's wasted his career and tallent.
Liverpool fans seem upset and they took Arnold's words as they were without considering its impact. Now, even if he comments at him in dressing room or press, all Know, its because "Arnold asked Slot to do so" What is unprecedented, is Player telling Manager that how he should treat him & Instead of keeping the conversation secret, he let the world know. He has undermine Slot's authority in front of the whole world. If slot is the boss, he would know how to treat anyone without these suggestions.
Im reading he doesn't want to be a midfielder anymore, he has accepted being a right back moving into midfild. Thats what i took from what TAA said. These ESPN... Disappointed if thats all they got from what he said.
Klopp did overprotect Trent, which made Trent to put less and less effort on the defense. Why do you need someone calling you out when you see someone goes past you and you just watch? What can anyone say.. The amount of times the opposition created chances and scored not just because they went around Trent like a cone, but because they could play the ball inside after Matip or Konate stopped the progress of the winger and their player was free because Trent didn't try to recover, is enough for anyone to stop and call themselves out.
Exactly. I've been saying this since the 2021/2022 season when Alexander-Arnold The Great's stupidity cost FSG Liverpool the PL and UCL. The goals against Leicester and Madrid are the two most pivotal ones.
It's all talk. He told the world that he sees things others don't and allowed Vinicius to score in the 2022 UCL Final a couple of days later. He told the world that it means more. Well, FSG Liverpool won a CC. So, a CC means more. Now, he's running his mouth again about how ambitious he is. It's more about making himself look good, that he did his best, before walking for free. He's protecting his 'image' and his 'brand'. As if he's that important... 🤣🤣🤣
Trent's defending wasn't an issue with Klopp because he asked Trent to play RB, RWB, CMF, RMF, RW, all over the place, that's why his defending was poor, in wrong starting position
Not really. Alexander-Arnold The Great is still getting beaten easily. The Slot Machine's system exposes him less and it looks like he's been instructed to choose the moments he goes out of position. A good player wouldn't need to be coached those things at age 26.
Stevie he is always negative abt The team and players he supports the panel is getting it wrong Alexander Arnold will never say bad things about klopp, klopp he gave him The opportunity to play media always want to make a story where there no story
When you run out of content to speak on, you take quotes from players, do an autopsy from all the worst possible angles, and call it a fair "critique"/"critical analysis".
So a player can't prefer a new managers MAN MANAGEMENT n approach because the older coach n staff picked him to play n won trophies? Maybe trent didn't wanna cause controversy or be punished by sayin it under klopp. PLUS u are attacking n twisting he's words now after he has improved under a new coach, IMAGINE he said this if klopp WAS THERE!!! u lit would say he's arrogant, not good enough, blaming the one coach who picks him because MEDIA, JUST LIKE NOW .. clearly have an agenda
For those commenting slot is best,if u think he is let him win EPL,klop had develop Trent not just him look at Eliot,is he not great,under klop Southgate playing him in midfield and the pundit then criticizing klop y he can't play him in the same position,now new manager of national team who knows what Trent can deliver while playing at the right back,he became the man of the match,the same pundit who criticize klop for not playing him now say he has improved, Trent maybe want to become best in the national team by defending,then these pundit got it wrong,NO LFC MANAGER WILL BE GREAT THAN KLOP
These guys are such idiots, he’s just saying he wants to improve his game defensively to the point he becomes a feared defender, nothing wrong with that. In the Klopp system the team benefited more from him being an attacking force and so the defensive responsibilities were sometimes not over emphasized by Klopp, if he thinks a new coach can get him to where he wants to be defensively then there’s nothing wrong with that
"Oh, now you can defend." yes lads he cemented his place in defence, at one of the top sides in the world by being incapable of defending. He had a season or 2 when he struggled because he couldn't be arsed and had his sights set on becoming a cm, but this narrative of never being able to defend needs to die. When he replaced Clyne, he wasn't racking up assists and was a competent defender. Unsure when left sided, cb VVD was covering for him, either. But go on with your sensationalist nonsense.
@cjewe1z The reporter was telling Trent how Slot was complimenting him on his defending against both Milan, when he kept Rafael Leao quiet, and Bournemouth. Then Trent complemented him back by saying he believes he’s benefiting from the Dutch coach’s attention to detail as they sit together to analyse his defending. He even pointed it out that they went through 20 clips of him in the Milan game where he could have defended better. What I took from that, Klopp didn't focus on his weaknesses like Slot is doing, that's all. So I don't understand what these pundits are on about 😅
@@sirvirgil6049 A top player should be intelligent enough to realise that he's making mistakes in every game or not making the effort he should. If I was Alexander-Arnold The Great, I would have taken steps to improve my defending by either busting a gut to stop my opponent or hiring a defensive coach. I question why he's made it publics now, that his contract is expiring. Did he not want to be a better defender the last two to three years that he's been making mistakes in every game?
@cjewe1z for me, it's really weird that you think he didn't take his defending seriously. Ever since he made his debut for us, the midea and pundits have always questioned his defending and rightly so. The last few games we have seen that his defending has improved with the new manager, it might be the new system or Slot has just been honest with him on these one on one meetings they are having. Personally, I'm not going to chat about his attitude. I just wanted to point out that what the pundits were saying is wrong because it's out of context.
Surely you guys are grown men and understand this situation better. Have you thought maybe this is a comment that Trent will later use to build as a criticism on his way to Real Madrid. Or have you thought that this may be a way of him saying what is currently going on with him getting criticised. Or maybe the guy is just being honest and is of an age now that he realises the weaker side to his game and wants to become the all round best. You guys are idiots.

@@cjewe1z The "weak cat" was a Liverpool legend by age 22..🤷🏾♀️‼️
@@alexndirangu8259 Says who? I haven't seen anyone claim Alexander-Arnold The Great is an FSG Liverpool legend. Do you consider Giroud to be a France legend? 🤣🤣🤣
@@cjewe1z Obviously you're not a Liverpool fan. End of...
With Klopp, he always tried to protect him, particularly with Henderson and the way the midfield was setup when it was at its peak, the problem was more the last 2-3 years where that midfield was no longer up to scratch, and changes made to the midfield exposed Trent more. To protect him again, Klopp pushed him more inverted into midfield. I'm sure the coaching staff did work with him, but their answer was more to try protect him or reduce that responsibility. The good thing is it ends the debate on if Trent wants to be a midfielder or a full back.
Klopp should have protected him by selling him. Then, he could do all the pretty boy things for clubs like West Ham and not worry about the uglier side.
@@cjewe1z What a mistake that would have been, how would he have replaced nearly 100 goals and assists, and certainly there would be no comeback win over Barca. Almost every player in his squads played their part in Klopps era, Trent played a bigger part in that success than most.
I am just happy that Trent is so engaged now, it might mean he stays! Like it is said here maybe Klopp was protecting him more as he was younger but now he is a senior player.
4:21 hes not far wrong but more serious. But not Van Dijk, Konate as him continuously covering Trent defensively has played a part in why he was continuously injured, being around 6f4 and all that sprinting
People didn't appreciate the amount of work Matip had to put in babysitting Trent.
@@ginomoujik8488 Maybe is contributed to the amount of injuries Matip got as well. Also, Konate is not just tall. He's very bulky as well. Probably even more than Van Dijk. Of course, he's going to get injured sprinting, trying to cover that donkey, Alexander-Arnold The Great.
You're forgetting his contributions to attack & goals
@@PN-ve9lf Football is not about just attack.
Can't believe how these people try to cook up their stories from just a couple of statements from an interview...😅😂
He hasn't been defending that great but as an attacking asset he has been more than great!
No but its a matter of perspective-situations change, teams change and the game changes. There are reasons why he is the vice captain and that statement is one of them. He steps up and commits to improvement publicly. You guys are wrong.
Imagine if a Manchester United players said this
At this point, it looks like you guys are just hating... Trent has been acknowledged by many people, even outside the country. Even the legend himself, Roberto Carlos, admires him. It's sad that these kinds of comments come from so-called journalists in his own country. He's so good with the ball, yet people focus on his mistakes and call him the worst defender. As far as I'm concerned, he's never been a bad defender.
You were never close to what he has achieved as a player, nor are you anywhere near his quality. So maybe try to work better now, so people might remember you as good journalists.
What is wrong with what the pundits said? It does make sense.
Everyone seems to forget TAA’s last coach before Slot was Southgate during a major tourney. Wouldn’t put all the attention from that comment on Klopp…
Trent sees the media like all of us and knows people criticizes him for his defending and its expected for him to say this to Slot and try improve on it
It's obviously about his contract, imo. Too many people are saying "He's not a good enough defender, it's ok if he goes", but he must want the big money contract.
TAA sounds rather immature here. Klopp has improved probably 90% of the players in his managerial career. He gave TAA his big break in football and gave him the freedom to utilise his strengths. Defending is about focus and effort, and TAA wanted to play MF so it’s on him if he’s not better defensively
Idiot klopp is a manager slot is a fucking coach he is doing what pep does for us back then
No, he shielded Trent in play, made Hendo and Konate cover for him. Whether or not he was worked with especially to improve his defence Im not sure. But not at the level he claims now.
'Immature'? 'Stupid' would be the appropriate word.
Arnold's comments are a classic targeted 'come and get me Real Madrid because suddenly I'm serious about my defending' moment. Nothing to do with Liverpool.
It also could be him preparing for the worst case scenario to make himself look good so he doesn't get the backlash from the fans. Why is he talking about becoming a better defender now? Even if he had ambitions of being a midfielder, he would have had to do some defensive work. Alexander-Arnold The Great is a fraud.
Trent is liverpools first choice right back.
He's good enough for me.
Media,pundits and ex players trying to make a few bob aren't that important.
you guys taking it out of context. You have no idea if Klopp just wanted him to be more free in games, which it looked like over the years. Trent only started showing defensive issues when hendo got older and Gini left. Obviously the game plan was to get Trent further up the pitch and have Hendo Matip and Fab cover his defensive duties and you no what it workek because they won trophies. So I don't get what this discussion is about.
Klopp was grooming Alexander-Arnold The Great to become his son-in-law. 🤣🤣🤣
Klopp defense is difference to others, Klopp likes attackers do more off the ball to prevent any passes that give wingers easy run on the wings as his attacking style keep wingers busy helping on defense. How dared these people criticized someone who know more than them and do well in coaching
It wasn't ment to be a dig at klopp. Just noting slot is bit more of a technical manager which is a new avenue to better his game.
Everything taken out of context
Pundits taking what Trent said and making it sound as if Klopp was not trying to teach him.
Absolute nonsense, its very likely that Klopp kept everything in house and did not want his players talking like this to the press. Its also likely that Arne Slot likes to see that attitude they are different coaches doing things slightly differently after all with there squads.
Not quite. They were rightly ridiculing Alexander-Arnold The Great for realising this now. It's better that this donkey keeps his big mouth shut. He has nothing of value to say. It's always about 'me'.🤣🤣🤣
Doesn't really matter what they say the fact of the matter is Trent Alexander Arnold has been slightly better in defense this season and it has shown. So I'm happy, in life not everyone is going like and understand what you say or do. TAA just keep on improving under Slot's guidance 🙏🏽.
He should have realised that after the 2022 UCL Final. 🤣🤣🤣
He better improves his defending now and fast before RM game!
😂 vini
@@TonyJaa-247 pace merchant and needs pens🤣
Before his big move to Madrid
Improving his defending will require intelligence. Nothing I have seen of this donkey shows that he has intelligence.
Better late than never. Some players in the past ,current and future will never learn until the day they died. That is life of most people in every all walks of life.
Better late? Yeah, after costing FSG Liverpool so many games/points/trophies. 🤣🤣🤣
Trent adored Klopp, he cried his eyes out the day he left it's easy enough to find. It's Slot coming that seems to have unsettled him.
Good. The FSG Slot Machine is letting him know that he will do whatever it takes to win games. He doesn't care about Alexander-Arnold The Great's ego and need to be loved. (That's Mrs. Alexander-Arnold The Great's job.)🤣🤣🤣
I've been doing good, now I want to be better!'
Klopp relied on Trent to not defend properly, the entire strategy under Klopp was built on it. It's not obvious to me that Slot should be either.. I don't want to see Trent in the back third basically ever, or he's wasted his career and tallent.
1:55 why’s ur man got a framed photo of himself squaring up to a ref💀💀
Give the guy a break. all he is saying is he still knows he has room to develop. His role is different under Slot than Klop
Trent missed “someone who wants to move to Madrid in the summer”
Love these panels, love them 🤣🤣🤣
Leave Klopp out of this. Klopp won everything while being at Liverpool. Every single top tier trophy.
He give up on his mild field dream… this is great
Liverpool fans seem upset and they took Arnold's words as they were without considering its impact. Now, even if he comments at him in dressing room or press, all Know, its because "Arnold asked Slot to do so" What is unprecedented, is Player telling Manager that how he should treat him & Instead of keeping the conversation secret, he let the world know.
He has undermine Slot's authority in front of the whole world.
If slot is the boss, he would know how to treat anyone without these suggestions.
Alexander-Arnold The Great is one of the stupidest players I have ever seen play, and he says some of the stupidest things as well.
Im reading he doesn't want to be a midfielder anymore, he has accepted being a right back moving into midfild. Thats what i took from what TAA said. These ESPN... Disappointed if thats all they got from what he said.
Alexander-Arnold The Great should have come to that realisation two or three years ago. Him coming to that conclusion now shows that he is stupid.
I don't understand what you want you guys, TAA Knows what it means to be around the great Klopp and what he is in this time around
How can a group of people be this dense? or is it an act for those sweet clicks?
Klopp did overprotect Trent, which made Trent to put less and less effort on the defense.
Why do you need someone calling you out when you see someone goes past you and you just watch? What can anyone say.. The amount of times the opposition created chances and scored not just because they went around Trent like a cone, but because they could play the ball inside after Matip or Konate stopped the progress of the winger and their player was free because Trent didn't try to recover, is enough for anyone to stop and call themselves out.
Exactly. I've been saying this since the 2021/2022 season when Alexander-Arnold The Great's stupidity cost FSG Liverpool the PL and UCL. The goals against Leicester and Madrid are the two most pivotal ones.
ESPN FC is a joke 😂
The people criticizing this video have NO SENSE OF HUMOUR or Cheek.
Nothing to with Klopp. Trent should have sorted out his defense problems by getting advice from other defenders e.g. Steve Nicole!
Translation:
Slot has been digging out Trent in team meetings for letting players get past him.
Good. Kopp was to invested in making Alexander-Arnold The Great his son-in-law to do that. 🤣🤣🤣
Michael Oliver was paid 20,000 pounds by the city owner and flown down to Abu Dhabi to ref a game. How is he still allowed to referee their games?
Much to do about nothing to keep the lights on. We need a new panel
TRENT, THAT IS A GREAT MATURE SPEECH 🎤 NOW LIVE UP TO DEVELOPING IN TRAINING ON YOUR WEAKNESSES!
It's all talk. He told the world that he sees things others don't and allowed Vinicius to score in the 2022 UCL Final a couple of days later. He told the world that it means more. Well, FSG Liverpool won a CC. So, a CC means more. Now, he's running his mouth again about how ambitious he is. It's more about making himself look good, that he did his best, before walking for free. He's protecting his 'image' and his 'brand'. As if he's that important... 🤣🤣🤣
I watch this because these guys just make me laugh.....
I read the comment because I can witness stupidity.
Trent's defending wasn't an issue with Klopp because he asked Trent to play RB, RWB, CMF, RMF, RW, all over the place, that's why his defending was poor, in wrong starting position
A player has to be stupid to carelessly run all over the field, leaving his teammates exposed.
Klopp could not make Trent a better defender over the years as we have seen but Trent under Slot is becoming a much better defender.
Not really. Alexander-Arnold The Great is still getting beaten easily. The Slot Machine's system exposes him less and it looks like he's been instructed to choose the moments he goes out of position. A good player wouldn't need to be coached those things at age 26.
He’s not good at defending. Excellent going forward. That’s it
That's half a player. Football isn't just about doing all the pretty boy things.
We know that i wasnt under klopp obviously
Thank you!
West Ham have had a hard start and Chelsea,s 3 nil win didnt really reflect the game and 5 - 1 flattered us to be fair so i think theyl be ok. YNWA
Listen to these leftover forgotten footballers 😅
Chill Trent
Come on guys it his mindset he wants to be the best so what's wrong
These pundits are really pathetic.
Sign your contract then we believe you
Klopp made him Good, to be Best he has to be Phillip Lahm and eventually play Midfield
Which he's not intelligent enough to do. His inflated ego isn't going to do it.
I would play Trent at no10. Bradley or even Gomes can play as right back.
You know whats more atrocious than trent defending? Hiring PR to defend him in the comments section.
Indeed.
Stevie he is always negative abt The team and players he supports the panel is getting it wrong Alexander Arnold will never say bad things about klopp, klopp he gave him The opportunity to play media always want to make a story where there no story
When you run out of content to speak on, you take quotes from players, do an autopsy from all the worst possible angles, and call it a fair "critique"/"critical analysis".
So a player can't prefer a new managers MAN MANAGEMENT n approach because the older coach n staff picked him to play n won trophies? Maybe trent didn't wanna cause controversy or be punished by sayin it under klopp.
PLUS u are attacking n twisting he's words now after he has improved under a new coach, IMAGINE he said this if klopp WAS THERE!!! u lit would say he's arrogant, not good enough, blaming the one coach who picks him because MEDIA, JUST LIKE NOW .. clearly have an agenda
For those commenting slot is best,if u think he is let him win EPL,klop had develop Trent not just him look at Eliot,is he not great,under klop Southgate playing him in midfield and the pundit then criticizing klop y he can't play him in the same position,now new manager of national team who knows what Trent can deliver while playing at the right back,he became the man of the match,the same pundit who criticize klop for not playing him now say he has improved, Trent maybe want to become best in the national team by defending,then these pundit got it wrong,NO LFC MANAGER WILL BE GREAT THAN KLOP
These guys are such idiots, he’s just saying he wants to improve his game defensively to the point he becomes a feared defender, nothing wrong with that. In the Klopp system the team benefited more from him being an attacking force and so the defensive responsibilities were sometimes not over emphasized by Klopp, if he thinks a new coach can get him to where he wants to be defensively then there’s nothing wrong with that
"Oh, now you can defend." yes lads he cemented his place in defence, at one of the top sides in the world by being incapable of defending. He had a season or 2 when he struggled because he couldn't be arsed and had his sights set on becoming a cm, but this narrative of never being able to defend needs to die. When he replaced Clyne, he wasn't racking up assists and was a competent defender. Unsure when left sided, cb VVD was covering for him, either. But go on with your sensationalist nonsense.
That means Alexander-Arnold The Great has attitude problems. Why would a top professional go two or three seasons without being arsed?
Kloop protact him and this Coch knows he will drop him
They all missed Trent's point 😅, you'll have to understand the question first
What's the question then?
@cjewe1z The reporter was telling Trent how Slot was complimenting him on his defending against both Milan, when he kept Rafael Leao quiet, and Bournemouth. Then Trent complemented him back by saying he believes he’s benefiting from the Dutch coach’s attention to detail as they sit together to analyse his defending. He even pointed it out that they went through 20 clips of him in the Milan game where he could have defended better.
What I took from that, Klopp didn't focus on his weaknesses like Slot is doing, that's all.
So I don't understand what these pundits are on about 😅
@@sirvirgil6049 A top player should be intelligent enough to realise that he's making mistakes in every game or not making the effort he should. If I was Alexander-Arnold The Great, I would have taken steps to improve my defending by either busting a gut to stop my opponent or hiring a defensive coach. I question why he's made it publics now, that his contract is expiring. Did he not want to be a better defender the last two to three years that he's been making mistakes in every game?
@cjewe1z for me, it's really weird that you think he didn't take his defending seriously.
Ever since he made his debut for us, the midea and pundits have always questioned his defending and rightly so.
The last few games we have seen that his defending has improved with the new manager, it might be the new system or Slot has just been honest with him on these one on one meetings they are having.
Personally, I'm not going to chat about his attitude.
I just wanted to point out that what the pundits were saying is wrong because it's out of context.
@@sirvirgil6049 What did they say that's out of context? Everything they said made sense and was valid.
This is just his ego scapegoating Klopp for his personal defensive failures over the years
Exactly. Why Alexander-Arnold The Great declare that he wanted to improve publicly before?
That was weak and water in a bar of Alex. I lost a little respect for him on this. Hold yourself accountable dude.
espn old heads fc
Surely you guys are grown men and understand this situation better. Have you thought maybe this is a comment that Trent will later use to build as a criticism on his way to Real Madrid. Or have you thought that this may be a way of him saying what is currently going on with him getting criticised. Or maybe the guy is just being honest and is of an age now that he realises the weaker side to his game and wants to become the all round best. You guys are idiots.
It's time to shut down this show, it's just sad how they're stopping so low to create controversy for some views.
The test is coming against Real Madrid. We'll see if those claims are true.
😬😬 trent into S&M or what?
Ale Moreno is B-rated Stephen A Smith. His forced laugh is always soooo weird.
I just realized this ppl are bunch of mistakes. Is there any defender 100% accurate, or better than TAA
YNWA
Bro is getting ready for that move to barca nexr summer.
Who even is that bald guy? No one knows.
Well this was shamefull
😂
Could it have something to do with being in the last year of his contract and looking for a renewal at a lot more money. Frankly he is overrated.
Shame on you.
