Kevin De Bruyne has the best right foot in the game right now I’d say, but surely this kid isn’t too far away.

Aye. Reminded me of that Stevie Me goal in the Kop end v Pompey.

Didn’t get a single minute did he? Nice one Gareth.

His passing and crossing is out of this world. What a talent we have.

On the Sky post match show, I don't truly remember who said it, maybe Carragher, but someone compared him to Dani Alves with the way he can influence a game from right back in an attacking sense and I thought that was pretty fitting and the ultimate compliment.

 

Alves in his prime was better technically but Trent really does seem to be able to have a similar impact with the way he creates so many chances and the way the ball finds him.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

He is a great player, a gem.

Alves was more comfortable on the ball and a bit quicker, but the Brazilian was not close to being as good a crosser of the ball as Trent is. Trent is probably the best crosser of the ball in the world at the moment, after Kevin De Bruyne.

I thought the comparison in terms of their attacking influence was accurate, but in terms of their skills, I agree. They're a bit different in that regard.

There was a pass in there that Robbo had to break his stride for, room for improvement there. His pass for the peno wasn't in that clip, looked like an aimless hoof but given it was Trent I'd say it was a pass.

I wonder if we'll ever see him in midfield now, there's no real reason to given his impact from full back. Pretty rare that you get a full back running games but he's pretty much doing that at times and he's 21, phenomenonal talent.

[moof]

He is one of the best players in the world 

[Baltar]

He's always going to have the odd defensive lapse since he's not a natural defender but in our system it does not matter. Our full backs primary purpose is to attack, and I love seeing this. He's also going to vulnerable to really speedy attackers since he's not that quick but it helps to have hardworking midfielders who are happy to help the defence as much as possible. For that reason I doubt we'll see too much of Keita and Ox since Gini and Hendo provide better defensive cover. I'd hate to see TAA curb his attacking instincts for the sake of defending so having our regular 3 midfielders playing as much as possible is going to be important.

He creates three chances for every one he gives away. Which is fine by me.

The team right now is set up for him to do this -- always space to move into as Salah positions as our furthest forward player and one or two players focused on covering for him when he does.

He would be pretty ineffective in our midfield set up as it is currently imo. He is not real good in tight spaces and isn't particularly quick or strong on the ball. Plus I am not sure he has the workrate needed for this set up.

He wouldn't never get the time he has on the ball now.

He was shit against the Mancs but brilliant yesterday 

[VladimirIlyich]

He's not a great player yet,but if he carries on at a similar rate he will be one very soon. It's like most of our players when looked at individually,they range from very good to excellent but put them into a team situation and they are magnificent,almost unbeatable in fact. Without the team ethic Sadio and Mo would be lesser players for it but its what makes them stand out from others in a similar bracket. Great days indeed.

He might have been already suffering from that illness against the Mancs. I don't think I've ever seen him so quiet.

The thought did cross my mind and it was very uncharacteristic

Crouchy on Trent: “I played with Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso, I gotta say his passing is right up there”
