So Trent has nearly 45 assists in the PL, which is crazy as a rb/wb, but how high can he climb up the life time PL assist table?
150ish games played. Giggs record stands at 162. Even over 600+ games that record is incredible. Seems he would need to maintain his form, with few major injuries, for a long period of time to even have a chance with that one.
Fabregas sits 2nd with 111, which actually seems realistic noting how important Trent is to Liverpools supply to the strikers.
The fact he is deployed as a rather unique rb means he is only 12-13 off Scholes life time record already. I don't think we will see another rb with his numbers in my lifetime.
The fact so few other teams have mimicked Liverpools set up is a testiment to just how good the kid is. Feel he has some holes in his game but he is basically like a cannon deployed on the right side 😅 definitely compensates in a team that rely on retaining the ball anyway.
Where do you think he will end up? All time record for a defender? Above Lampard, Fabregas?
I think he can beat everyone bar Giggs personally. That records just disgustingly good.

Nope just saying what I’ve (and many others have ) observed. He’s just not a great defender, he isn’t terrible, but he’s the weak link.
That said, I think he’s quite a unique player, who I really rate. I’d happily have him in our team, his delivery and passing is an incredible asset. I’d swap any of our fullbacks for him or Robertson any day. Both have phenomenal output. How many pl assists does Robertson have? Must be similar numbers to Trent, to have fullbacks who can consistently provide like that is a hell of weapon to have

Yet he’s probably made less mistakes in defence than any one of United’s back 4.

look, i'm pretty sure that robbo has been the one caught behind the line than any other defeder playing peoepl on.
I'm pretty sure matip has made some astoundingly poor passes that have coughed up chances.
In fact i am pretty sure vvd has not covered over to help aneone either.
In short trent is "picked on" due to lazy pundit rubbish stemming back to 4 or 5 years ago rather than any real "evidence.
Is trent the best under a high cross to the back stick? no.
Are there worse full backs under that high ball? yes plenty.
Is trent deliberately pushed right on as a winger/wing back a lot of the time. Yes.
does trent make clearances i nthe box as last man. Absolutely yes.
"weak link" is a fallacy. Our system is entirely designed around shutting off space for players to receive passes. If all 11 stop doing it then the whole system falls down.

Every team has a weak link, unless they are all exactly as good as eachother, if we put world class Reece James in our team he'd been the weaklink still as he's not as good as robbo or the other defenders..

I think cancelo or James in Liverpool’s team would post similar numbers. Is James younger too? But what trents doing is incredible.

We keep a lot of clean sheets, imagine if trent wasn't this goal leaking disaster.....we'd be at 100%

literally no hope.
your comment utterly betrays your ignorance of how trent is making those assists.
mount is the guy taking most corners at chelsea for exmaple, then alonso and at city its KDB.
did you know (you didn't but its impolite not to ask) that trent has taken 96 corners to mount's 53.
in fact robertson has taken 53 corners for us as well.
again free kicks. mount alonso havertz for chelsea and for city mostly mahrez, kdB and gundogan.
So while trent has 10 assists, mason mount has 6. you'll note again i'm comparing a full back to an attacker. (all prem btw)
cancelo has 5 assists and james 5. if they want to reach TAA numbers they just need to push their respective free kick and corner takers aside.
........................
the ignorance while wumming is staggering LOL. I could come on here and rip TAA apart on the wum if i chose to.
I could point out that in fact TAA has made less through balls than cancelo (15 to 13)
that TAA has made more crosses than anyone else in the prem 183 and yet has a miserable 10 assists to his name and has had to pad the stat with top number of corners and frees as well.
If you kick enough balls over eventually you will look good.
but no, these wums chose to use a line from 4 years ago about how rashford skinned a 19 year old twice in one game and its stuck since LOL
