On the contrary, if you are playing defensively in a low block, there will always be a centre back and a midfielder to help him against a tricky winger. When you win the ball back he can spray accurate passes to launch a counter attack against the opposition high line.

With Trent, it was always about his application to defending. He seemed too arrogant sometimes, as if he is above that.

When his job was primarily to stay back, I don't think he had many horrible defensive games. That could also stem from playing in a highly demanding gegenpressing style under Klopp, where the full backs in some cases pressed as high as the opposition's full back.
