He's arguably becoming one of the best LB's in the world.

He is already there, but still getting better.

Solid in defense and has become a true asset with his crossing ability. He stands to make huge money soon.

Would he be starting for England if he wasn’t for USMNT?

Likely. England has had a revolving door at LB lately.

He’s playing really good. Played awesome against City a while back and I watched today and he was locked in.

I can't think of a LB in the PL I would take over Robinson right now. Jedi and Cuenca both seem to get better every time they take the pitch.

Definitely one of the top LBs in the world. And, such a motor. Guy never stops running.

The only one I can think of that is close is the Hungarian kid at Bournemouth. Besides that, no one in the Prem.

He had Salah in his pocket Saturday. I think he’s one of the best 1v1 defenders in the prem regardless of position.

Anyone think he goes somewhere during the upcoming transfer window?

I wanted him to be the replacement for Shaw at United, afraid that won't be the case now. Can he play wingback or is he strictly a fullback?

He is basically a wingback already, but can defend really well to boot.

Think TAA on the left side…

Defending well and Alexander Arnold in the same sentence, does not compute.

Not what I meant, but could have worded it better.

Should have said “TAA on the left, but with defense”.

I don't see the comparison at all... he is much more of a traditional LB.. to be fair, not sure any current FBs offensive game compares to Trents... his skillset in that position is unique..

That said, I think he'd be a much needed upgrade at LB, which we really need at Anfield... I don't see it happening due to his age, unless he could be had for a bargain fee.. which I doubt..

I don’t think he is on par with Trent’s offensive game, but he definitely has become very reliable in that part of his game.
