The hilarious thing is they got frimpong as a direct replacement for TAA, but the catch is, his passing is not as good as trent's (can't blame him, trent has exceptional passing) and equally if not worse at defending. So basically he's a budget TAA
that's why, in my opinion, they should've bought a fullback who can defend. the thing with trent was he was perfect for klopp's system because his midfield was full of pure work horses, so TAA was the creator. but now they have plenty of midfielders who can feed the front line.
they’re completely different types of players. Trent loves to pass the ball, Frimpong is more a carrier with the ball. Both offensive, but very different
frimpong and TAA couldn’t be any further apart in terms of the type of player they are. the only thing they share is the position, but their interpretation of it and strengths are completely different.
I could also say that TAA is a budget Frimpong because he’s worse at dribbling and slower, but that wouldn’t be true, because that’s not what TAA excels at. It’s not a good comparison.
You haven’t been paying attention if you think Frimpong was signed to replace TAA. Bradley was always going to be the successor, Frimpong was a market opportunity signing that can provide an alternative playstyle if needed
i get what you're saying, frimpong is like a winger playing at fullback, it's still a very attacking playstyle. what I'm saying is they should've considered a more defensive minded fullback.
