Premier League: Liverpool lacked their usual best as they draw at Goodison Park
A rare off game for the young right-back
The English right-back had a bit of an odd game against Everton. He showed his usual energy going forward, but his balls into the box just lacked his usual effectiveness.
Trent also took two free-kicks trying to somehow fool The Toffees defence but also fooling his teammates, they were not on the same wavelength which brought about some frustration. He has provided 12 assists in the season so far, 2nd behind Kevin De Bruyne with 16.

It seems that if Trent is not providing effective crosses into the box, the entire frontline does not have enough opportunities to score. Have the Reds become too reliant on the youngster or even Salah?
The exclusion of Salah hurt Liverpool on Sunday and it shows just how important the Egyptian is to the team. He’s always an attacking threat and defences fear him. Everton must have been slightly relieved that he was not on the team sheet.
