He'll bounce back I'm sure. Oh I understand. I just think it’s absolute bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you expect people to say when someone's dropped a completely unnecessary and ridiculous clanger to knock us out of a cup and a chance at ending our 55 year trophy drought in the 93rd minute ? Obviously people are gonna be pissed off at the time. Vast majority of comments in this thread have been positive saying they love Trippier and back him to come back stronger, give him a break and help him with any issues etc. Footballs are passionate game which makes it what it is, people are too sensitive to slight criticism. I would expect them to say we'd be nowhere near this point without him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bally21 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) Tripps has had a mare recently, no 2 ways about it, Howe probably could/should have rotated more to avoid Tripps being so physically off the pace. Maybe Tripps also has something going on in his life, and therefore maybe he is not in the best frame of mind currently, who knows. One thing I do know is that I back him to bounce back, and also Howe has got my backing (OK so the guy ain't perfect). HWTL.

Interpolic Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Trippier's obviously had a net positive impact on us to a ludicrous degree, he's transformed us with his leadership and the level of his play going forwards and backwards. He's clearly going through a hard time at present, so the question is do you trust him to sort himself out and the team / management to circle around him and help him turn it around? And in the meantime say "These things happen, we still trust you". Togetherness as a team and a fanbase is very easy when we're riding a high, not so easy when things are difficult but I think most reasonable fans have views similar to the above. He's a legend, it'll pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 3 hours ago, Mahoneys Tache said: So three or four errors makes the best right back in our history a liability? This is the very definition of fickle. It's not disparaging him as a player, he's clearly class but it's not unfair to suggest that he has been a liability in the last few games in the fact that he has been liable for 5 or 6 goals conceded. That's not to say as a player he's a liability, just that in his current frame of mind/fitness he has been a liability. Give him a rest, time to recover from whatever is ailing him and he will be back better then ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Why are people finding it so difficult to distinguish between short term form and long term ability? Clearly Trippier is a player of fantastic, proven ability who right now is performing well below this ability, to the point where his inclusion may absolutely be questioned, at least until such a time he sorts his head out. In the end I trust Howe and Tripps to make the right decision for the team, whatever that may be, but really there is no need for hysterics either way.

In the end I trust Howe and Tripps to make the right decision for the team, whatever that may be, but really there is no need for hysterics either way. hes 33 (or fast approaching it), and with Tino coming in it could be that taking him out of the firing line ends his career as a first choice right back. Weird as that is for someone of his ability. definitely see this as his last season as our undoubted number 1 right back, which says as much for Tino as it does Trips Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDog Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Tino could also easily be the first choice LB from what I've seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
