No

why not?


Where and in whose place? Midfield is where we have the most players while we do not have a proper cover for TAA, why would you want him to move in midfield?

well i think the long term plan is for TAA to play in midfield.and he is the most creative player we have.Steve Gerrard started at right back.if he's better than the midfielders we already have in that area it doesnt matter how many we have.

Most creative player? How is that? He has a lot of assists as a wing back same as Robertson, mainly because of Klopp's system, so who would he replace? I have never seen him in midfield, have you?

Should we play Robertson as well in the midfield then?

i dont think that Robertson was ever a midfielder.where as TAA was through out the academy.

Trent has never played a senior game in midfield, but he's currently the best or second best right back in the country. Hell, he's in with a shout for one of the best right backs in the world, and for his age group only Kimmich is really ahead of him IMO.

You aren't the first to say this about him, I just don't understand why. Firmino was a defender at the academy, but I don't see anyone saying he needs to play there. Carragher was a striker at youth level, but no one thought he needed to be moved further up. Why have him play a position he's never played at senior level when he is already one of the best in the world at right back? What would a replacement cost? And we don't even know if it would work. He might be good as a midfielder, but will he be top 10 in the world at his position? Unless he is, there is no reason to move him because he will contribute more to the overall quality of the team where he is.

So what? If he was better at midfield than full back, then he would be playing there. He is doing a top job a RB, why would anybody wish to change that, especially while we have more than enough players in that position.

he is very effective at right back going forward.i wouldn't say the same thing when it comes to the defending side of things.Gomez is more than capable of playing at right back and is probably better defensively.TAA has a fantastic passing range and creative mind.if we arent going to spend big on a creative midfielder i would be happy to see him moved further forward.he does have the quality to play there and he has the tools.

TAA is too lightweight to play in midfield. End off.
