Gawalls Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 5 minutes ago, Menace said: I think he'll be absolutely quality for a while yet when him and Livramento are used on a split basis. Asking a 33 year old to bomb it down the wing as much as he does 3 matches a week is brutal like When he was waiting to take the free kick he was panting like me chasing the ice cream van down the street.

TRC Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Think people need to cut him some slack, he was up against probably the best attacking player in the league who is lethal with both feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been great but clearly needed a rest for this game. Him (4) and Dubravka (3) have cost us all the goals we've conceeded the last two games.

I think that's super harsh personally. Everton first two is clear, but sometimes you get beaten by a world class player. The third today was a fluke tbh.

Heron Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I actually thought that whilst his balance and footing was clearly off for Son going past him on the second the initial issue was that our midfield/defence were out of shape. Would need to review further but Trippier is isolated as 2 on 1 when he remains inside to mark the more central forward player, thus winning the header, he then has to make up the yards to get to Son who, opens up the opportunity to really go at him at the earliest opportunity and a player of that quality doesn't need any time to think. I thought a midfielder or perhaps Miggy should have been back in there to help him out. It appeared somewhat of a clear strategy to me today (that they'd isolate Son vs a fatigued Trippier) easy to say in hindsight but it may have been worth playing Tino right and Dummett or Ritchie LB. The booking and suspension for Fulham is a God send to be honest. Trippier needs a break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mofo Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Probably been said but zero help defensively from Miggy the last two games. Deffo needs a breather though .. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I’ve a lot of sympathy for him, he’s a model pro and a top player who is so completely cabbaged at this point that it’s sad to watch him. Glad he misses Fulham, given that Howe simply won’t rest him a ban is the only way he misses a game or two. Hopefully the knowledge of a week off to rest after it will see him back to something like his best vs Milan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I said it last week but I'm really worried we end his career early by running him into the ground. If we want him to continue at his peak for another 2 seasons then we will have to pick and choose whst games he plays. Today was the day to rest him. Hall at lb and livra at rb. Rest him for Milan where his experience will be needed, in a game where we should have a stronger hold on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magvicar Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Trippier needs the rest. A good refresh for him will have him firing again. That lad has kept this team ticking for long enough so I can forgive him a few bad games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
