Yup. That's the big news really isn't it? RDZ either very unhappy with how he's returned from the World Cup or he's off. To not even be on the bench seems very odd.
Any more significant than Dunk and Sanchez nowhere near the squad? Probably just being rested.

Not sure if it is he forcing himself out of the club or the club forcing him out of it but regardless, that seems to be what is happening.
Perhaps there is a bid from another club (Newcastle) on the table and Tross knows about it?

Sadly not expecting much from this. Invariably we'll put out a weaker side and crash out. I'd love to see us take the FA Cup seriously but I'm doubtful the side will be strong enough today. Would love for once to really go for the Cup this year.
Looking like a good side out to me.

Well that's possible, or maybe he's just been given the weekend off?

Hopefully. That would suggest he's really struggled with the Belgian shambles at the World Cup. So quite possible. Not all players have returned in a particularly great state.
I just think RDZ is a very demanding manager and he'd be saying to a player like Tross 'this is your chance to regain some form and confidence. Go out there and enjoy yourself and force yourself back into my plans for Liverpool'.
What have we heard since the WC? That he isn't signing a new contract, that we've activated the extra year to maximise sell on value and that RDZ hasn't felt he's been right since his return.
Given before the WC he was one of the hottest properties in the league that all points to him being off this Jan.
Hope that's wrong because he's a lovely player on his day.

Even DeZ doesn’t know what‘s wrong with him so there’s zero chance anyone on here has a scooby.

No point keeping an unhappy player although not sure why he’s unhappy playing for a top ten ambitious PL club.

Foy anyone with access to an Australian VPN server and a UK Paramount+ account, I have answered my own question - yes you can! Currently got Palace Saints on having jumped to Reading - Watford. Worth checking your Sky subscription to see if you have/can get a free Paramount+ account.

Seems to be working... but no coverage yet, just a scrolling Paramount+ logo
