Kids have this quite often though, dips in form and concentration followed by bursts of quality. They all get it when they start off, we can expect the same of Neco, Curtis, Rhys etc. They find it much harder to keep the same consistency when they're that age. We forget how young Trent is sometimes.

Experimental music, Metropolitan foodstuffs, Mexican wrestler art, London suburbia, wry whimsy, fansy pants flim flam lad -
Not discounting the long Covid possibility at all, but equally he’s played an incredible amount of football ever since breaking into the team. And it’s been an intense 3 years too.
Fatigue and dips in form happen..

If Trent had long covid, he wouldn't have been anywhere near that team.Are we winning?Comment

Agree with this. My 18 year old daughter has long covid since March and is barely living at 40% of her full capacity. Same with our 14 year old neighbour. Maybe athletes can compensate but I've heard marathon runners, etc, be reduced to being knackered after a 5 minute jog.Originally posted by Fredo View Post
On this note I'm worried about Mane too. He doesn't have that same pizzazz to his game. Full backs are finding it easier than they should against him.One tit for another.

The drop off in quality has been quite blatant. He is a worldie and maybe just is having a poor season and struggling for form. No pre season and the covid absence can't have helped. He looks so lethargic and slow on the ball, maybe just put it down to him going through a bad spell. The thing is he is so important to the way we play and when you compare he to Robbo who has been rampaging up and down that left side all season.. there is a huge difference in performance between the two.Originally posted by Shaggy View PostComment

Mane does look absolutely exhausted. Part of me thinking the 2 week circuit breaking idea could be great for our lads.

I wouldn't be arsed if we had an 'outbreak' and had to forfeit our FA cup tie, that would give us almost two weeks between games. The only problem (aside from it being dodgy) is that we don't tend to play well after a break.

we actually don't do we that's true. Yeah every ****er has covid, call game off and then miraculously everyone is grand the next day. Pricks

I'd be surprised if TAA has long covid. His energy levels look pretty good to me, and I don't recall him looking out of breath.
He made a couple of sprints last night and seemed to be breathing completely normally.
Robbo looked like he was gasping a few times, but not TAA.Oh I don't know.Comment

Sorry to hear this Chief. There are still so many thing with this ****er of a disease we don't understand and unfortunately i know one or two people in a similar situation. I hope she can make a full recovery soon.Originally posted by BigChief View Post
As for Trent. Its easy to forget he is a 21 year old coming off the back of 3 very intense years in both footballing and more general terms. We should not be surprised that he is inconsistent, indeed looking across the entire league there has been no stand out, consistent player of note. I will caveat that by saying outside of the Liverpool matches this is based upon MotD and FF so I am sure I will be proven wrong by somebody who actually watches more football than me. Which these days is probably most peopleComment

Its not a very good advert for red bull.removing all the weak links makes us stronger
too many gutless players, no beef or desire. pussies everywhere... sack them all.Comment

Thanks Norbs and R&W. Its sickening that so few GPs in this country accept it's real. But that's for another thread.Originally posted by RedAndWhite View Post
It does seem like our players are going through the normal phase of exhaustion rather than lingering illness. Same with most clubs. Utd will hit their's soon enough. Hopefully, Shaq, Ox, Thiago and soon Jota can add the thrust to the finish line.One tit for another.Comment

It's almost a Torres-esque drop off in level. Baffling.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

He is now in the worst run of form in his career - he is young and top class. He will get back to itOriginally posted by Shaggy View PostComment
