  1. Trippier is miles ahead of anyone I can remember at fullback. That's not to say that there haven't been good players there for us, but he is incredible and does it all. He's a really smart footballer in terms of how he plays the game. 

  2. Can't help but feel one of the problems with us looking a little disjointed is the fact that Gordon tends to get his head down and run when he receives the ball. Often he runs infield, which takes him away from an overlapping full-back, into a midfield where nobody seems quite sure where they are supposed to be. Last night Trippier was nowhere near Gordon. In isolation he is pretty easy to defend against. If Isak is dropping deep, there is little to no chance of the two of them linking up and things just peter out. 

    I'm really curious as to what we look like with Livramento and Hall at full back. Think we'd have direct pace in forward areas, recovery pace in defensive areas and quality delivery from overlapping full-backs.
