How "Bad" Players Succeed In Modern Football 

Firmino is a false footballer. His weakness is playing football.

​@@xMythpug What are you waffling about?

@@xMythpug even heard of Anthony spinner Never know what is goal and assist 🤔🤣

It also makes opposing teams predictable. They all toss the ball into the channel/behind Trent or try to get their winger 1v1 with him. Robbo is having a nice time not getting targetted (as much as I love him, he's not a defence-first FB either).

And because of Konate and Matip's skill getting past Trent rarely means anything

He’s conceded only 2 goal contributions to his winger all season, I’d say he’s more than capable defensively

Depends on situation and team. If taa played at Burnley, do you think he's as good of RB. On Liverpool is lack of defensive ability can be mitigated. At Burnley, taa would have to do more defensively and in that situation taa ain't as good of RB as one would think unless you have a great manager who can figure out how to mitigate that

I seeing him keep doing great save. The "can't save" is so weird to me

@@theflashgordon193 Nah as a city fan he is pretty average overall, but he was sensational in the UCL run last season

​@@theflashgordon193he has one of the worst save percentages in the prem

@@theflashgordon193 He just has a terrible percentage, I think he was better than 3 keepers last season, one of which was Mark Travers, who conceded 9 to liverpool in one of his only games

There are people who belive the Earth is flat, or life events are influenced by position of planetary bodies. Everyone else can a) see his poor positioning and shotstopping, and b) look at the stats/models, which confirm the eye test. If anything, Ederson looks better than he actually is. His numbers really are shocking. A CB or CM can cover for Trent A-A, you can't cover for your keeper without getting a red card.

not only messi and ronaldo, he was also overshadowed by neymar and mbappe in PSG. Always the second man.

The most crucial thing for Real Madrid was help from the referees

I agree but trent ain't a bad footballer , like he's only bad at defending they is nothing else trent is bad at literally.

Hes not that fast and strong​@@datboyboltyyy3468

​@@datboyboltyyy3468Well thats sucks for a defender, doesnt it?

​@@LiftandCoa he is much more supposed to be a playmaker than a defender anyway, just like Pirlo and Frenkie de Jong, those two are Defensive Midfielder yet they are shit defensively that they need someone to cover their defensive weakness like Gattuso (for Pirlo) and Schone (for de Jong)

​@@ahmadmuliawan0008Who is Schone

Allison is terrible at passing makes way more errors than Ederson.... Recently Edison has been comming up with big saves more often a definite improvement

As I know, Vicario can distribute

I'd take a gk who can stop shots over a gk who can distribute any day of the week

@@robinramkhalawan468bro….

@@tylerdordon99 same. My friend is a Benfica fan, their keeper, Trubin, have won them games while my keeper Raya have lost us games

Kdb is being compared to midfielders trent is being compared to fullbacks, so kdb's numbers are way more impressive

Missed the important text?

I mean I know Kevin is good, but certainly did not expect 99th percentile for EVERYTHING

@@KidneyJones not to mention its 22/23, i would love to see trent's best season compared to KDB's best season, cause it would be a washout

a keepers ability isn't measured by his feet, it is measured by what he is supposed to do, keep balls from going past the goal line!

​@@SanusiAdewalehe's fucking becoming better than his past...

Doesn't mean he's way better than he used to be, he just have better defenders in front of him @@abdullahsajjad9682

Allison is the best keeper in the league. BTW I'm Chelsea fan

but if the keepers has the balls, how can others score against keepers?@@SanusiAdewale

No it isn't his defensive IQ is as good as a snail. And is always going to be a liability because of it. He is great offensively but against a le who is a 6/10 or above he can't defend them.

@@galaxyknight7309he is an inverted right back now this suits him much more

⁠@@galaxyknight7309that’s just nonsense! If you actually look at his stats for the last 5-6 years his defensive numbers are mostly on par with the leagues other full backs! The amount of times I’ve seen other high class full backs make mistakes that is never mentioned in the same way TAA is unbelievable yet it’s never mentioned 🤦 Games where he has dominated with regards to his defensive role is literally ignored, out of ALL the players on the pitch for example, he had the best defensive stats in the whole game against Man City, yet, after the game, people nonsensically went on about Doku and his ‘successful’ dribbles simply cause he played LW and TAA is RB when in fact the ONLY attacking move he created from his dribbling was against Mac Alister that led to a shot going wide Give us stats instead of you nonsensically rambling on bud Let me ask, if he is THAT bad, every team that fails to capitalise on him being the worst defender in the whole universe actually means they’ve failed, he is that bad surely if teams don’t get a goal from his lack of defensive ability means that they’ve done a worse job at attacking right? So that means their attackers are worse than TAA? 😂 Dear god, what utter shite people like you talk

@@user-dm2nx4yu5o First of all the video just proved that defensively he is below above Secondly there mistakes are more forgivable because there are better at defending but yes it should be covered the same way I agree because I mistake is a mistake but I understand why sometimes it isn't to the same extent but it is still covered for the most part. I do agree he was good against man city and the criticism was unnecessary The video proves he's bad defensively I don't need too. Don't ever call me bud I understand your passionate and want to defend Trent because you think I'm wrong but have some respect. And lastly teams have capitalized on him. In 1v1 situations he almost always beaten and just because they don't score or win doesn't mean they didn't take advantage of his defensive flaws. That last point respectfully was pathetic. Lastly again have some respect I understand this is the Internet but if you won't talk to me like this in rela life don't say it online.

​@@user-dm2nx4yu5o"Best defensive stats in the whole game vs Man City" stopped reading there 🤦‍♂️

he is average player to be honest there is so many players with his strengths and even better

@@abdotaher9109 bang average unless it france and with occasional great finish at times.

@@abdotaher9109 You don`t get to start ahead Benzema for many years in the France side, if you`re an average player. while Benzema is undoubtedly the more talented all around player, what Giroud is good at, being a target man and using his physicality, are things Benzema are worse at then Giroud, and Giroud is also a great big game player, he shows up consistently when France needs him to.

Griezmann u mean

@@thetruth4654 stop yapping benzema was suspended that’s the only reason giroud was playing

Did u not watch the video or?

​@@deenofm3620im also wondering the same things 😂.

​@@deenofm3620bro deluded 😂😂

His shot stopping has definitely improved. But whenever city is caught lacking (which they do a lot these days) he'll concede. something like De Gea. Good but still concedes a lot.

He's not a "great" shot stopper, he's improved but he's average at best

thats a favourable decision for most instances in life, not just sometimes

One could equally argue the problem is the lack of goals. I.e., Arsenal don't score enough goals to compensate for the defence. Games are won by goal difference. Attack and defence are not more important than each other, beyond saying you can't win without scoring at least once. In the 2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22 seasons, Arsenal scored 56-61 goals in the league. Was the problem the defence? Same deal for 1992/3 and the following three seasons. OK in 1994/95 the problem was also the defence.

😂muller has the second most assist in history

Muller is one the best player of this generation

@@muntasirprovab thats the thing, he knows how to assist with football IQ instead of crazy passes making him effective at long therm

@@legoc-3po845 but being good at passing is not necessarily having an insanely accurate and long passing range. It is picking the right pass. I understand the point u are trying to make but don't be disrespecting muller like that.

Muller rarely ever loses the ball

Got so many vids ready for Jan/Feb

@@FootballMadeSimple Will be looking forward to it 👀

In all past UCLs he didn't though... Up until the treble season

hes been horrid in ever imp game and this is coming frm cit fan

This season he has been pretty bad, but honestly he is still vital for city

@@jasonmillsom2981He’s been great this season wdym

Not really, if we compare to Ter Stegen or Courtois. But he is good with his foot, just like Onana.

@@edk1124onana ain’t good at anything right now.

​@@hught2575Right now. But thats United for you. Every player that joined united since SAF left has been worse than before. Something structural at United. And its not just "the fans pressure". Because other teams have similar pressures (Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, Liverpool) and they dont have such a bad track record of destroying players

You’re very dumb. Jesus is simply misprofiled and isn’t surrounded by competent enough attackers at Arsenal

Ouch. That's good info right there, and an extremely compelling argument by using Nketiah as the comparison. Being that after the Fulham game I've essentially given up on Nketiah, this is all the more reason to stick Havertz up top. I honestly don't know why Arteta is fighting it. The answer is right in front of you Mikel...You have a BFG on the squad that's a freaking perfect answer for the position. His finishing won't be any worse than Jesus, and considering all Saka and Martinelli are doing is crossing it in...to 5 foot nothing Jesus.... Ugh. Mikel. Put the square piece in the square hole. It's not that hard.

​@@therealking6202Havertz is a tree

He is probably better suited to be a winger

If you don’t like Jesus you don’t like Firmino either. The difference between the two is that Liverpool has a better attacking dynamics than Arsenal current has, with more creative output (Robert and Trent) and prolific wingers. Arsenal doesn’t have any of these. In fact their dynamic is poor between the wingers and the 8s, which is why they are not scoring. Pointing finger at Jesus is asking the wrong question, and it has nothing to do with whether he can play in a top team or not, because he certainly can.

Mainly two things : - video would have been a bit too long - Slightly unfair on him as he is blatantly a midfielder being played out of position for his whole career

Over Porro and Cancelo and Frimpong? Over Walker? IIRC, stats have he and Porro neck-and-neck.

@@joachimschmidt7662 Just watch any liverpool game this season. Unreal. Almost every liverpool attack starts from one of trent's passes, or runs, or dribbles. This player is too good for liverpool imo. Would walk into the real madrid starting 11.

But in the midfield

He’s been world class from 2019-2021 just went a little off form for awhile.

@@joachimschmidt7662Porro 😂😂😂

Also has world record for most own goals

Leave that guy alone

This stuff is so over said it isn’t even funny anymore

That's MU's best player ths season.

@@shownateluv8926English player apologists? Cuz he has a British Passeoort but it’s fun to make fun of Pogba right?

It's facts bro

It's not disrespectful when he produces those kind of performances 2-3 times a year

Its true, you cant look at 1 game and then go damn the other 50 games when 70% of all GK were better than him at making saves, for 2 years in a row

Personally love Trent, but can't deny defensively he's not the best

​​​@@FootballMadeSimple Not being toxic But where are Taa critics when Bissaka or Trippier who is being called the good in defending makes a lot of mistakes People go silent When Trent makes 1 mistake With his defending is worse bla3 Remember when city bottled 3 goals against real No one even talks about them While Taa who just let 1 goal in ucl final against real He is bad defending bla3

@@lordtea Because Van dijk is the best defender in Prem and konate is very good watch Arsenal vs Liverpool Konate was the one who defended Martinelli while Trent was destroyed by Martinelli

A Chelsea legend 😂😂

Willian at Chelsea. I remember him having amazing workrate but not great G/A

Xavi wouldnt be successfull in 2005 milan that only one league and two champions league shut the fuck up 😂😂😂

This is so untrue. At least at Manchester City and Bayern, Guardiola took absolutely elite players who were, on the whole, the most talented squad of individuals in their respective leagues and basically performed as you would expect when you have the best squad in the league - by winning it consistently. In fact, I would argue he underperformed by not winning the Champions League more often, since his Bayern and City squads were more than talented enough to do so. You can't tell me that players like De Bruyne (who broke the Bundesliga single season assist record at the time before joining Man City) or Haaland (who was scoring an outrageous ~1 goal per game at all of his professional teams before City) are "bad / average players." Same thing with guys like Lewandowski (who broke the Bundesliga single season scoring record), Müller (who now has the Bundesliga single season assist record, beating De Bruyne) or Neuer (a revolutionary player at his position with his sweeper keeper style). It's also reflected in the transfer fees Guardiola spends on his players. Manchester City has an incredibly expensive squad - I believe the most expensive in the world apart from Man United and Chelsea - that cost a lot more to put together than other elite teams like Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Bayern. If you spend more than everyone else (excluding those who grossly mismanage their teams in United and Chelsea), then you should be expected to win more. But Guardiola hasn't done that on the Champions League stage, where all of these elite teams compete.

Get out

@@tylerdordon99 James fanbase detect

😂😂😂😂😂 best full back

Not gonna say full back. Because he do everything great other than main work of fullback. He should become a midfielder.

Um, Andy Robertson? Theo Hernandez, Cancelo, Blade (with time?), Camavinga 😝, Alphonso Davies, Frimpong (both with more time?), Halimia, Gbardiol (with time)

It's more tactics that leave him vulnerable. Even someone perpecieved as good defensively like Reece James for years (only a myth, he can do it as a RWB, RB he has been exposed a good amount) would be incredibly vulnerable given Trent's role.

@@LoCoAde87 Sorry James is good But sadly I am prefer Trent more as he is super glass 🥂

Trent has improved massively defensively since becoming vice captain, but it doesn't suit people's agendas

@@AbsolutelyAbsolute sadly People already assumed that he would make mistakes even when he didn't do it

@lordtea I think you misread me. There is levels to Trent and Reece. Trent has always been better. Reece is protected by largely negative to balanced at most managers who play CBs alongside Reece, a DM, and arguably two almost DMs. Trent is the system. And with Fabinho and Henderson aging, fatigue from long seasons and getting COVID on top of Klopp wanting him to progress the play is why Trent has been exposed at times. Walker (doesn't get criticised for his huge lack of attacking output), White last season, etc can afford to sit back as they aren't focal points either. Marcelo wasn't a good defender, but no one ever talked about it once he established himself with trophies. Trent is the standard and there are a lot of people with Liverpool derrangement syndrome who can't use logic to discuss them.

That is what I'm talking about he will be better at CM and CAM

I wonder if there is a sort of "hunter/killer" position between CAM and striker? That would fit Jesus to a tee.

Unfortunately for Jesus if that was the case he’d have to compete with Ødegaard for the attacking midfielder spot

yes
