Smal Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 thought his set pieces apart from a couple were absolutely fine or good, even. Burn missed another really easy chance. Ultimately we have the highest xG from set pieces in the league iirc. Underperforming on that means our delivery is good overall and the lads attacking them should be putting more away. More generally I thought he was back to his best today after some sloppy performances since the WC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 He had a couple of dodgy ones, but we still should have scored one or two today from his set pieces. We are shite at attacking the ball - that is the biggest problem, not the delivery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never any worries. Yeah, some of those immediate control takes are incredible. The ball gets pinged, floated, drilled at him and it seems to make no difference. His dead balls are becoming annoying, but his all-round game is superb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 His indirect set pieces are fucking crap. Love the effort and commitment and he's absolutely captain material all day long - but not having a secondary option on free kicks and corners is hurting us every single game at the minute. Thanks for the graft today Tripps but please learn to not hit the keeper every sodding time when you're crossing from a dead ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His control and first touch are superb, and the vision for the pass forward are amazing. His near post and far post corners though, they never work. the training ground pieces with Miggy, they work most of the time, stick with them or have someone else take the corners Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Litteraly put a class ball in for Burn who hit the bar last week and annother for Burn in first half he missed. Both corners... Edited February 26, 2023 by Slim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Needs to be taken off set pieces permanently. He's shit at them. Can't even remember the last time he took a shot in a decent free kick position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I think we need more variation. See with Ritchie on and if we get targett back soon to switch them up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both corners... Aye. The way he whips them, you're gonna see a lot of them go straight to the keeper, particularly the in-swingers. There's at least one a game lately that is postage-stamped though, but Schar and obviously Burn in particular are terrible at attacking and directing the ball, they mistime their jump or close their eyes frequently. Indirect free kicks are a bit more of a problem, we don't know how to break a high defensive line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Not ridiculous like, he’s great at set pieces but in the last fifteen games or so he’s been really poor on them. It’s not just that we haven’t scored from them, we haven’t looked like scoring from them. Take a look at the delivery today for Man U’s first, haven’t seen a set piece effort from Trippier like that for ages. He just needs a bit of a rest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Wanting an alternative to take free kicks makes total sense, but calling him shit at them and permanently removing him is ridiculous hyperbole and definitely controversial. There's something deeper wrong with our set plays than the deliveries at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 He's been instrumental into transforming us from a relegation battling team to a trophy chasing team, and is one of our key assets. its a bit unfair asking him to both lead, defend and also be our main creator from right back.
