pubteam Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 1 hour ago, dave s said: was he as influential in other teams as he has been for us? I know he’s always been an excellent player, but can’t say i’d followed his club career closely until we signed him I don't think Spurs fans were too disappointed to see him leave. He was a bit up and down for them. Simeone is the one that moved him to the next level and Howe allowed him to grow into his influencer role from day one. I believe trips was the main drive behind our up turn in form. I still remember him forcing the players to go over and applaud the fans. Maybe he always had it in him, but managers have to trust the player and let them express that leadership qaulilty. I fully expect him to remain involved with the coaching side at Newcastle after he retires. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 His passing and creativity against other full backs this season so far is just rude: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Bloody hell, what a fantastic player he is. I sometimes take him for granted given he’s such a consistently great player but we’re going to miss him in a few years, even accounting for the fact that Tino is clearly going to be a ridiculously good player too, just in a different way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greydos Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Looking at their playing styles, Hall seems like he’ll be the long term successor to Tripps in terms of being an excellent passing chance-creation fullback. Tino looks like he’ll dribble and put crosses in, but Hall’s got the first-time passing and touch that Tripps has. I hi I Tino gives us what Burn isnt, just on the other side of the pitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A set piece taker 4. A player with an absolute ton of experience in the premier league, Europe and international level. I've said it before, he's the best signing the club has made since.the takeover. I'd say, in the circumstances we were in and how we have gone on since then, he is the most important signing we have had in the past 13 years especially after the Ashley years.

The College Dropout Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 A level above anything I’ve seen from a Newcastle United fullback. Might be p4p top 5 player I’ve seen for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotic Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 So much game awareness in him - his hand was up to appeal for a handball (just in case, you know), whilst dispossessing Ramsey and popping the ball just right for Miggy to go on the attack. He had all his bases covered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's what Bobby would describe as a blue chip signing. Wor kid turned to me when he first signed and said the best word to describe him was tenacious......and thats rubbed off on the rest of the team. Results like 0-0 at arsenal was a trippier led performance, games we would normally get tanked 3 nowt. Inspirational Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes23 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Debuchy the best I've seen here at RB prior to Trippier, added further steel and a touch of class to a chronically mismanaged team. Trippier is on another level though - one of very few players who can genuinely be called transformative in the fullest sense of the word. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shays Given Tim Flowers Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 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.

Kid Icarus Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 It's not an ability thing either. Trippier is miles clear on that front alone anyway, but even if Beye, Debuchy, Watson etc were better players than Trippier, they'd still have to be 10x better than him to make up for what he brings in mental strength, attitude and leadership.

Superior Acuña Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Remember he only actually played 4 games the season he arrived before getting injured!! In those 4 games we almost doubled our points tally that had been accumulated across the whole first half of the season. Huge few games. (Watford D, Leeds W, Everton W, Villa W). Made a huge impact in that short time then travelled with the squad on crutches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learning his trade from on of the best in the league and reaping the rewards of being young enough to enjoy the major success coming. This triggers my NUFC superstitious thinking. ‘There’s many a slip twixt cup and lip’. Did Shearer not make a similar comment (to yours, not mine) when an aging player?

HawK Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Janmaat did do quite a bit of this 'quarterback-role' towards the end of his time here. Where Trippier tends to stay wide and look for the overlapping run, Janmaat would drift inside with the ball and ping ping long to the far-post area quite frequently. Probably the most similar player to Trips on the ball in terms of style, but a chasm in quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 If Babayaro had a brother to lose before every game he played, he'd have been the best left back in PL history. In my time following Newcastle, I'd rate our right backs (and frequent stand-ins that I can remember) something like this, without giving it very much thought admittedly: 1. Trippier. Not even close. 2. Beye 3. Debuchy 4. Barton 5. Watson 6. Janmaat 7. Manquillo 8. Krafth 9. Hughes 10. Carr 11. Solano 12. Griffin 13. Edgar 14.
