Menace Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Colossal. Was worried he'd start to tail off due to being 33. But glad he made me eat humble pie. Tino has a great guy to learn from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) Stuff of leadership, even if he hadn't played as well as he did, his mere presence in that situation was very assuaging. Even if its all psychological its valuable. Like having Beardsley back that first season in the PL. Edited September 19, 2023 by Jonas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holloway Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) Didn't like those couple of free kicks around the halfwayline that went backwards and lead to some serious pressure, get it forward and lose it up there if need be. But 2nd half he was imperious Edited September 19, 2023 by Holloway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 If I could’ve added one signing it would’ve probably been an older experienced midfielder who had been around Europe and won’t be overawed. Helps so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 10 hours ago, Smal said: If we are to keep building in a 3-2 setup, let Trips be part of the 3 and have him keep pop passes into midfield that he does so well. Get Hall at LB to push on and add some progression from midfield spaces there. Apart from Bruno nobody in midfield spaces picks a forward pass. Hall can do that. Trippier was excellent. Leao rarely troubled him. We did well to block passing lanes into Leao in the main. Leao is so good he still should have scored twice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big River Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 confident in saying he’s one of the best players to ever wear black and white. a proper player Tripps. he was immense again last night. although not sure what it is, but it does seem like he may have lost a bit of confidence in his set pieces. maybe get Tonali on them for a bit.

Agree with all of this. His set pieces really have gone to shit. Which is weird, as no other part of his game has dropped off. If anything, he looks better than ever.

Most progression usually comes from defenders seeing as they are the ones with all of the pitch ahead of them tbf. Trippier is always our most progressive player by absolutely miles though. I really think we should be dropping Bruno and Tonali deeper to revive the ball off the CBs more though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno has great progression stats for a midfielder. Joelinton and Willock had great progression stats through running/dribbling. As did ASM. With 3 of those all out the side now. We are struggling. We were never the slick passing team. Our 8's aren't passers. Our wingers now, aren't the best dribblers.
