Kieran Trippier: has a chance to play against Everton (Howe)


Recommended Posts

Still kinda in shock, it's not like I didn't rate him before he signed, I did, thought he was a very good right back even, but he's the best right back i've ever watched play for us by a distance, and what he brings to the team, and he's so fucking consistent. Ridiculous.

Noticed him coming in field a bit today when close to our goal and pointing to Lascelles to go wider. 

 

 

We are evolving 

 

Yeah I noticed that, him bossing the captain about. I'm sure Lascelles won't have minded because he's a top bloke, but I'll admit it amused me slightly.

Assist machine.

Trippier needs four more to match Gary Neville. Five more to be joint fifth all time for a defender in the PL.

Given the two and half seasons in La Liga (10 assists that don't count), that's not too shabby. 17 in 64 games for us, all comps.

Feels like he's playing the best football of his career at the moment. Just everything seems to have come together for him and now with an older wiser head aswell he's in his prime. 

 

He should really be first choice for England on current form but Walker's pace will always grab attention and I can see why someone like Southgate would prefer to have that recovery pace. But if he was a more confident manager I think Trippier gives you more offensively than Walker.

Hope he never leaves the club.


Play as long as he can, then become a coach, Livramento mentor, club ambassador, stadium tour guide, whatever. He embodies everything that’s right about us.

That cushioned, volleyed pass for Murphy’s opener …

 

*chef’s kiss*

Making a habit of those now! His first touch is ridiculously good!

Easily in the top 3 right-backs in the world. When was the last time we had one of the best players in the world playing for us, Shearer?

Shearer remains the only one who, in his prime (for us, his first season), was one of the best players in the world
