Brilliant my arse. If Klopp's brilliant then so am I and countless others.
Loads have been saying to just move him up the field. He wants to create and has zero interest in defending.

I have noticed this about him. He is extremely stubborn.
He threw away that season without van Dijk by playing midfielders at CB for half the season instead of the likes of Philips. They immediately improved when he stopped messing around, way too late.
He has done the same again here and I hope United can make him pay for waiting so long to change things up.
Every manager has his weaknesses, he is a fantastic coach, but this isn’t the first time he has been too stubborn to change and paid for it.
He is stubborn, like picking Robertson for too many games when Tsimikas was doing better.
But the bolded part is where you have to worry. Once he's changed something it works fantastically well for for around two seasons before it's sussed.
Edit: as for TAA I thought he wouldn't cut it in midfield (crowded out, panic passing to nobody) but he has blown my mind. He's a better version of what we hoped Thiago might be. The reincarnation of Pirlo.
And Southgate was frown upon when he tried him in midfield.

Yeah, that’s why I am concerned. 7 wins in a row is ominous. Beating you guys out for top 4 really is crucial.
It’s a massive summer for Liverpool too though. Gakpo/Jota are good players, but it remains to be seen if they can be as ruthless as they were with Mane. I don’t think Darwin will ever be a good enough footballer in spite of his physical gifts.
Questions about van Dijk after the season he has had too, and it is absolutely crucial that they nail the midfield signings. Another Keita would be a disaster at this stage if they have any hope to getting back to the heights they were at.
It should be a very interesting summer at both clubs.
Was terrible for the villa goal.
Pundits saying he was terrible today.

I know people focus on Trent but Diaz gets away with it big time. Doesn’t score or really assist, if he played for us he would be crucified on here
He has been terrible all season. Shouldn’t be starting
to be honest, it's truly visionary stuff from Klopp to see that a player who is absolutely shite at defending shouldn't be playing in defence
Disagree on Diaz. Between Jan 2022 and before the World Cup he was one of Liverpools most productive players.
He’s literally just returned from injury. He’s a top quality player. feck Liverpool.
Right at the end he put a ball across his own goal that Villa almost pounced on. That would have been hilarious if they scored from it.
Before the World Cup? He scored nearly all of his goals v Bournemouth! One assist or something as well.
He doesn’t cross well, doesn’t really score, isn’t a threat over the top.
He’s a hard worker but beyond that he’s famous for nearly scoring and being ‘Unlucky’ and that has disappeared for a long time as well.
That was crazy. Their revolution should start with benching TAA. He's the scouse Maguire.
Decline? He's the second coming of Messi.
Phenomenal player on the ball, you have to build around him though. I don't see Mac Allister doing his running for him.
Was about to come here and say Trent had a great game last night.
This comment has brought me back to earth
Bloody hell
He can’t even trap simple ten-yard passes anymore!
I also don’t think I’ve ever seen such a casual demeanour from a player who’s been dispossessed or ran past as what we frequently see from him. It’s astonishing.

He was better at 19-20 years old than he is now.
Throughout the course of the season he'll probably create more goals than he'll cause at the other end. But I'd wager the games he makes the mistakes they end up dropping points but the games he creates goals in and win due to that goal would be a lot less, thus actually costing his team points throughout the season.
Glad this new hybrid role has revived him. I still wish he could be coached some basic defending
you a United fan?it isn't. That was a hall mark of old school number 10s. He plays like and yet is used in the defensive third. Klopp plain indulges him.
Baffled me too
Seriously, it's get a room time with those two. Anyway, I'll be slated for this on RAWK in due course but this knock he picked up might show Klopp there is life beyond TAA.
His injury is not such great news for non-LFC fans.
Signed in on the wrong account?
He is being sarcastic. In the "hybrid role" today he gifted Bournemouth a goal.
Trent has qualities that are not far off Lionel Messi.
He’s the same shit standard he was at last year alongside the rest of them.
He wouldn't be the first youngster to fly too close to the sun and see his wax wings melt
Vice captain headache. Love to see it.
Playing him inverted was a bad idea. I’d play him wide. Like really wide. Like outside the pitch wide.
Thought he was a CM these days...?
Have they gotten any full back cover this season? Or is this going to be a weekly highlight?
He can cost you a goal from any position
They both have feet and can run.
He's certainly delivering a Messi today.
Qualities not far off Lionel Blair…
A disaster of a defender. If he couldn’t strike a football, I doubt he would be playing in a top team.
