Why are you expecting anything different? He's a Scouser, obviously he has zero interest in doing a job.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

Jeez.
Did the same for Sancho's goal as well.
Although it wasn't his fault he just ambled into the area an didn't even attempt to close him down.
So much for booking them tickets to the final hey Jurgen.

It’s a shame really, he comes across as such a nice, humble lad.
He does? can't say I've ever seen an interview of him
No, he doesn’t
Tweet in post #2.
It’s more like he can’t be bothered to defend. He’s so lazy off the ball.
Good then I can continue to hate him!
If England plays trent maguire and henderson and even shaw in the same team forget about it ,going nowhere.
The lack of defensive ability is one thing. You can absolutely justify carrying that given everything else he typically brings.
But when he's showing a seeming lack of effort and disinterest in even trying to defend it's a different matter. He's been defending like someone who thinks he shouldn't have to defend.

That was horrendous for the third goal. He could at least pretend like he gives a shite.
They look like us from last season. Lazy af
Great post.
They look like us from the first two games of this season.
Maybe they should drop a couple of lazy arse defenders too
He can’t defend but I’ll still have him in my team though
We did it and got success with Elanga of all players!

Its ridiculous at this point, is not only that he's bad at defending but he doesnt seem to care. He doesnt even put on the work or effort, Napoli's second goal seems like their xbox control got disconected, its a classic 1-2 move and he just stand still. As if its not his job to actually defend? 
looks extremely bizarre.
looks extremely bizarre.Achilles heel in that Liverpool squad that will leave gaping holes for the opposition to exploit. The fact he can't defend or gives 0 effort in doing so is even worse.
What's the point of having a RB that can't defend.
Trent is the inverse of AWB, if you could fuse them together they'd be perfect
He seems completely disinterested in defending. It's actually bizarre rewatching him on some of the goals from tonight.
Their whole team looks totally disinterested to be fair
AWB’s shit ability going forward with Trent’s shit defensive game.
Sounds great!
I sure hope Klopp doesn't follow EtH's blue print and drop the overpriced center back and the out of form english full back then carry them on a jog. They may actually look decent again
Same issue as Shaw really, slow to get back which exposes the CB.
It makes you wonder what exactly is wrong with these lads. They clearly don't care as much as they should.

I'm all for shitting on him but it's not like this is new information, he just used to have better cover from the likes of Henderson and Wijnaldum.
Elliot offers him no cover whatsoever so it's not really a surprise that opposition are getting more joy these days down that flank.
He will probably be back to his "best" when Henderson comes back in.

Legend! Even Shaw has ambled quicker than that

Pretty horrendous from all three of them; Trent is stood still whilst Gomez and Fabinho turn but don’t even attempt to chase? Mind numbing stuff.
He’s so good going forward that his disastrous defending is being carried all this time. But his defending has got so bad it’s actually a liability having him anywhere in the defensive third. I’m not sure what klopp can do to get him to be half useful in defence. He’d do well in a wing back team but klopp is never going to use that system.
2 Napoli players taking out 4 Liverpool defenders with a simple pass and move
. Incredible.Stock shortage on inhalers?
I'm sure even a wingback is tasked with some defensive duties and I doubt this guy can even do the basics right consistently.

I'm unsure if he has regressed as a player or if Liverpool's overperfomance over recent years has hugely masked his weaknesses, but either way I hope they keep playing him. He is terrible.
Touted as the next David Luiz
Trent gets cooked every week at this point, the casual attitude to defending is laughable when playing RB. He needs some accountability for his performances, they've been horrendous.
