The Trent injury is a planned one. He is going out to play a friendly that isn't important. So they had to come up with that.

Plot of Premier League midfielders this season | defensive actions per 90 | progressive actions per 90

We play City in the semis if we win Forest....

Most likely a Chelsea final again....

Beating city is going to be a drag ..

Chelsea would be a walk over

Chelsea is no walk over. We barely escaped Forest. There's a mental block in Klopp that prevents him winning Guardiola.

Mendy was the only reason chelsea didnt get beaten at our last face off. If our front three can be as sharp as ever, chelsea is definitely a walk-over.

Against forest, we lacked in the midfield is why they dragged with us for that long.

As for city, i just hope we win regardless of whatever mental block klopp is having

No...That(the rumour) happened years ago because they were in a picture together

I guess so. Perhaps Mane likes to keep his relationship secret. Never heard he is married or whatever aside that rumor.

Yea, he's a very private person... Don't think he's married though...

No problem at all, I love doing this.

For this, we'll look at his tackling stats, specifically True Tackle Success. Warning: this will turn into a long message but I hope you find everything interesting and valuable.

This is different to what you will find on the Premier League website, for example. They use Tackles Won but there is something everyone needs to know about tackle definitions. They do not really make much sense. I've pasted the Opta explanation below, but more information can be found here.

A tackle won is deemed to be where the tackler or one of his team-mates regains possession as a result of the challenge, or that the ball goes out of play and is “safe”.

A tackle lost is where a tackle is made but the ball goes to an opposition player.

Both are deemed as successful tackles however, the outcome of the tackle (won or lost) is different based on where the ball goes after the tackle.

So, True Tackle Success is calculated by dividing Successful Tackles Made by Total Tackle Attempts.

A Successful Tackle is made up of Tackles Won + Tackles Lost. Total Tackle Attempts is actually made up of four different metrics: Tackles Won + Tackles Lost + Fouls from Attempted Tackles + Challenges Lost (a.k.a Times Dribbled Past).*

With all of that out of the way, here's how TAA compares to AWB for all those tackling stats.

TAA vs AWB in the Premier League since 2018/19

Tackles Attempted per 90: 2.9-4.1
Successful Tackles Made per 90: 1.6-3.2
Fouls from Attempted Tackles per 90: 0.25-0.48
Times Dribbled Past per 90: 0.98-0.41
True Tackle Success Rate: 57%-78%
It's important to note that AWB has made the most tackles and has the best tackle success rate of any full-back with 1,200 minutes in Europe's top five leagues since 2018/19. So, TAA stacks up quite well.

And here is the True Tackle Success rate of some other full-backs in that time:

Andy Robertson = 58.3%
Achraf Hakimi = 57.1%
João Cancelo = 55.4%
Reece James = 53.8%
Kyle Walker = 53.6%
So while tackling is not the only metric you should use to measure someone's defensive quality, to suggest Trent is below average in this regard is pretty silly.

And even if he was operating at 30%, he's so good at what he is in the team to do that Jürgen Klopp probably wouldn't care.
