Look at today for example. Yes Doku completed some dribbles, but most times Trent funneled him to the byline or inside and Doku wasn’t really threatening for the most part. Yet the prevailing narrative is that he got destroyed by Doku.
He has actually been decent to good at defending this season yet people say he’s been a horrific defender. I don’t think this is quite true if you watch him play.
I won’t claim that he’s an amazing defender but he’s not a bad one either, he’s just a perfectly average to good defender but the narrative is that he’s a liability. It’s frustrating to see.
Liverpool vs PSG when he’s like 20 up against prime Neymar - clean sheet. Liverpool play a high line an Salah doesn’t come back to help too much. The style of play means he’s going to be exposed a lot. It’s so ridiculously over the top
