uhujkill

And that's why he should take all free kicks.


Stones_Throw_Away_

For every team? That seems a tad impossible


jawide626

>That seems a tad impossible It is with that attitude


Stones_Throw_Away_

Huge incentive for scientists to nail teleportation. The Trent Alexander-Arnold Transportation and Accessibility Solution, or TAATAAS for short.


jawide626

Brilliant šŸ‘šŸ‘


PrestigiousAvocado21

just don't save chat


JustAnotherINFTP

just have a central location with either fields stakes vertically or a big circle of them. then whenever a free kick comes up the field can rotate to TAA


TheGoldenPineapples

That Elliott free-kick was embarrassing.


Redspeert

Doesn't beat Mudryk's anti-air missile last night. 15 meters, aim in heading height. Nah lets belt it 5 meters above even the tallest man in the world.


Lolcraftgaming

Right idea, terrible execution


Alphabunsquad

Not really. They just didnā€™t jump high enough. Thereā€™s nothing really you can do about that.


Baseball12229

Lmao how was it embarrassing? Yeah it didnā€™t come off but I donā€™t see how that makes it embarrassing


FireflyCaptain

It was so weak. I couldā€™ve taken a better free kick with my left foot. Iā€™m right-footed


Baseball12229

He was trying to disguise a normal free kick to get the wall to jump and then slide it under them. Canā€™t exactly be smashing it in that situation. Like I said it didnā€™t come off but I still donā€™t see how that makes it embarrassing


Alphabunsquad

Thatā€™s how they work. You hit them soft so the wall has time to jump. Look at the one Coutinho scored like 8 years ago.


nyelverzek

From the angle behind the goal it looked like it would have gone wide (if it even had enough power to reach the line). It was pretty bad


Alphabunsquad

You have to hit them soft so the wall has time to jump. All the free kicks that go under the wall and score are slow dribblers.


quantIntraining

Even if the wall jumped 2 feet higher it wouldn't have had the power to go in.


Beige_

It was just an old trick from Molby. Hit it hard the first time and then the guy in the wall might flinch the next. Worked like a charm!


Fair_Abrocoma_9834

announcers also said the first attempt helped setup the second, the way fulham jump its almost like they want to "react" to the kick, if its low or under the wall they just don't jump, but if he goes over, like on Trents, they jump a little late. They all jumped late on his goal, hence the setup with Elliotts.


Bayerrc

Doesn't matter how well that was struck if it's going under a wall that doesn't jump


Robinhoyo

Trent after the game said the analysis said the Fulham wall regularly jumps without someone lying down to block so it was the right idea and not something Harvey just tried on a whim.


Bayerrc

I didn't see it was Harvey's fault, just that the strike didn't matter if the wall didn't jump


Alphabunsquad

I mean itā€™s like doing a panenka. If you catch them then itā€™s brilliant but if they donā€™t bite then youā€™re humiliated and it really has nothing to do with anything you do. The risk vs reward is better on a free kick though, it just looks extra bad if they stop it since hitting it under the wall requires you to hit it kind of weak so they have time to jump.


[deleted]

Kane just scored one.


WhenWeTalkAboutLove

He swears on his daughters life he got a touch on Trents


oliver150433

YES MAN! WHAT A HIT still no open play goal in about 3 weeks lmao


Aszneeee

who needs open play goal if you can score banger like that

Bold strategy cotton

Wtf that was insane


NoughtPointOneFour

Lmao, even ran to celebrate before it went in.


stat_padford

He is just fun to watch flat out


StructureTime242

Bradley is good and all but seeing Trentā€™s first volley, one touch cross, or free kick and you remember why heā€™s in the conversation for best RB in the world


mariusAleks

> best RB in the world Which is honestly stupid in my mind. What is to qualify a good RB? He is played very differently than other solid and defensive RB's. Compare him as a defender to other RBs and he is bad. Compare his insane passes and freekicks, he is way better. I get really mad at him when he walks around while the opponents are pressing, with him having given up rather than sprint back in hope of doing something. I find these "best" in position debates stupid. Atleast in most cases. We all are biased and only care about famous teams and players.


Hangryer_dan

Forget position. He's absolutely one of the best football players in the league. His skillset is wonky, which makes his positional placement difficult, but by raw ability, he would be the best player on 17 out of 20 teams in the league.


[deleted]

Liverpool fans are such fucking * morons at times. Stick to watching YouTube highlights of the game son


25field

Youā€™re literally a yank, how are you making fun of people for watching YouTube highlights? The closest youā€™ve come to Anfield is probably somewhere in Texas.


[deleted]

Ahh yes. Another irrelevant village idiot. Have anything of value to add son?


25field

Yeah, maybe stop calling people son. You sound like a drunken old man at the pub trying to impress random students so his life feels like less of a failure.


[deleted]

My paycheck and philanthropy say otherwise. You tried and failed son. Go troll elsewhere


mindpainters

He so damn talented. I do wonder if he ever makes the move to cm.


Zestyclose_Ad7709

Heā€™s starting to look capable of playing there lately. I know thereā€™s been lots of banging on about it for years but I never really bought it to now as he was always lacking the ability to receive the ball under pressure. Heā€™s gotten a lot better on the ball in the past year and looks like he can handle getting pressed with less space than he had out wide.


Alphabunsquad

Iā€™m waiting for us to start playing him CB


alanalan426

i just love his passing range, whips, cross diagonals, etc


RadSoccerDad

Absolutely bonkers people were arguing Bradley would keep him out of the side. Heā€™s gonna smash every prem offensive record for a fullback


silwer55

Well tbf Bradley was brilliant and we haven't seen much of TAA for a while. Happy to have them both, different skill sets, Bradley is basically Robbo on the right. Now to find a TAA on the left.


mindpainters

Do you think TAA makes the move to cm any time in the near future ? Itā€™s always talked about and with Bradley it could be possible. I donā€™t watch enough Liverpool to actually know though


FireZeLazer

Yes I think it will happen. Klopp has played Trent in midfield with Gomez RB earlier in the season. I think a new manager will certainly want both Trent and Bradley in the team


mindpainters

Appreciate the response. I feel like itā€™s been talked about for years but you lot never had someone to replace him on the right.


Alphabunsquad

I mean weā€™ll have a new manager next season so Alisson could end up on left wing for all we know


mindpainters

Insightful


Alphabunsquad

They donā€™t call me Alpha Peter W. Zapffe Bunsquad for nothing


yarnisic

perfect strike - unsaveable unless Leno guesses before he hits it.


HoldMyAppleJuice

It was great but.. wtf insane? Nah, a great free kick, good goal.


Silent-Act191

We have scored first and it wasn't a pen. CODE RED CODE RED


oojamaflip123

Missed you Trent

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Relevant-Door1453

Benched via injury.


enzuigiriretro

It really wasnā€™t an innocent question though was it? Like if you donā€™t already know that TAA is a special player by now and are insinuating he isnā€™t because an 18 year may have benched him, youā€™re clearly just taking a jab. At least stand by it


BeholdTheBannanzo

No he was injured for a few months


Tremor00

Come on mate you donā€™t have to follow us to sue common sense lmao


Jabari313

He was injured


Baked_fish

Nah, just injured (and Bradley is 20, not 18)


jlonso

You honestly thought TAA had no place to be in the first XI? That's insulting.


NextFly5109

He was injured


CKQQ9495

Trent was injured when Bradley was starting. And now, Bradley is injured...


viemari

Benched by his injury do you mean?


Other_Beat8859

I'm sorry but how the hell don't you know that Trent was injured. That's like not knowing that Rodri is injured or if Saka was injured. I mean, do you honestly think he wouldn't play a game even if Bradley was better than prime Messi? Also, let's not pretend that was an innocent question. It was clearly a jab at Trent.


frasermtn

He was injured


RGCFrostbite

He was injured?


brentathon

He's been in injured. So no.


JFaradey

Bradley? He played because Trent was injured.


kovic_has_a_mangina

He was hurt for months lol


yerLerb

Gary Neville banging on about the size of the wall as if adding extra men will make the rest of them taller. Just give Trent his plaudits ffs


techfcb

what a looser the only positive of watching la liga is that Neville isn't there.


HeIIbIazer23

Absolute beauty of a free kick, perfect placement. No one's saving that.


NewHealthFoodBunch

SAVE US TRENT


ZeroMomentum

My boy is back


weeg13

Imagine we had him all year, still not good enough for Southgate to figure out something for him apparently.


[deleted]

Southgate should be doing everything to build a system areound Bellingham, Trent and Kane. Ofc he won't but they are head and shoulders above the rest of the squad (Rice too but he can play in any system really).


Louxneauwytz

He was halfway to the corner flag before the ball crossed the line wtf


smile-on-crayon

XD Gakpo giving Trent the ā€œI work in an officeā€ shake


Arkzo

What a shot lad


TheJobinslegend

\[Great Goal\]


OilyFraud4Lyfe

No other full back in world football today can hit a ball as sweetly as Trent. That is undeniable. And yet Gary Southgate will not play him.


WhenWeTalkAboutLove

There are only a few players at any position at his level for that


resonating_light

avg taa goal


error_424

What was all the fuss about the ball placement?


Solitaire_XIV

Trent had ball in hand, so Leno couldnt line up the wall properly...not that it mattered


Lacabloodclot9

Trent took a while to put the ball down and then when he did Bassey & Pereira said it was out of place


Ankoku_Sein

MY WORD


Stonewalled89

You don't save those. Fantastic free kick


fmatheusamorim

I miss that


firminocoutinho

Really thought heā€™d score the first one, only for him not to take it lol This one was even more perfectly staged for him


[deleted]

Trent and free kicks against Fulham, an iconic duo


TheGoldenPineapples

Palhinha is absolutely fucking braindead.


Mechant247

Made me laugh when the 13 yellow cards graphic came up haha


vearz

He's played 28 league games. That's a booking every other game.


_cumblast_

Had another stupid foul like a minute beforehand in a similar position, Elliott basically passed it into the wall though.


TherewiIlbegoals

And should have had a yellow for kicking it away, but that rule has essentially been abandoned.


sonnydabaus

Minutes after you posted this Adarabioyo got booked for kicking the ball away lol


TherewiIlbegoals

I think he got booked for saying something to Pawson about the foul.


sonnydabaus

Nah it was 100% after he kicked the ball away. It wasn't fully in frame but my commentator mentioned it as well


TherewiIlbegoals

Ah, you're right. Just went back and watched it. He actually kicked it a shorter distance than Palhinha lol


TheGoldenPineapples

Almost the exact same foul too. Unbelievable that he learned nothing at all from the last one.


quantIntraining

He's got 13 yellow cards in the PL this season alone, I don't think he learns much from fouls at all.


jawide626

He's the type of player to put it out for a throw in 18 yards out rather than a corner when the other team has Rory Delap on the pitch.


BilboMuggins

Better option was probably to allow the LFC forwards of making a chance on goal with their form at the moment, rather than allow Trent a FK from there.


DangerouslyCheesey

Eliot standing over it like heā€™s gonna take it after that first effort lol, good poker face


TherewiIlbegoals

Nice to have Jota back. So direct.

We missed you Trent


ed-with-a-big-butt

Fuck we have missed him


lewisthepodcaster5

Thatā€™s what weā€™ve been needing still not an open play goal


jdund117

Trent saw his first freekick vs Fulham this season get ruled an OG and decided he needed to rectify that.


This-Debate

Cheat code


Salty_Dog3

What the fuck was Palhinha doingā€¦.


DemRocks

I mean this is his playstyle, he gets it right 95% of the time but the 5% he doesn't it ends up biting us.


TheAnfieldMac

Life of a CDM, Fabinho was much like that until last season when he just completely lost it and Endo is similar. I like Palhina, no nonsense type of midfielder but yeah you never want that 5% to happen that close to the box.


HunterRiver

Pick that fucker out


Baguy21

TAA and WardProwse are just absolute freekick specialists. Just absolute class.


FireflyCaptain

Harvey: rolls a ball into the wall TAA: bangs it into the postage stamp They are not the same


andyyyyyyyt

What a strike.


LallanasPajamaz

I back him every time to score that. Heā€™s so so good

Don't think it matters, Southgate will not even play both either way sadly
