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

His set pieces which used to look deadly also seem to be fading into distant memory. Not really sure why as age shouldn't really make a difference there.

 

Oh my God ...

 

This really pissed me off today.

 

Gordon's set pieces have looked so much more dangerous since Trippier has been out.

 

Really annoying that Trippier just stepped back in taking them, despite not being great on them all season like you say.

That's something the management have to take responsibility for, mind.

I thought he was shit. But didn’t have a problem with his set pieces. From memory he picked out Bruno and I think Burn/Longstaff and they massively fucked up their headers. 
 

Perhaps could have rotated them with Gordon a bit more. Only let him have 1-2 when he was on, I think? 

[gbandit]

For someone with his great attitude it was quite something seeing him barely move or make an effort to track back when he’d been level. He was fine going forward but defensively he looked like his legs were completely gone

I agree completely.

 

So for all the folks that claim we only ever praise the manager. This one is for you.

 

I think it was unacceptable that Gordon was taken off set pieces. And I'm not at all happy with the decision from the manager and his team.

 

Maybe for direct free kicks on goal he could have come back in, but absolutely nothing else.

Seemingly set pieces are delegated to Tindall and others.

 

I'm a defender of our set pieces generally, by the way. I think people have a habit of remembering Trippier's bad ones because he takes such an incredibly high number of them and usually very well. His stats speak for themselves.

 

I think the thing I'm least comfortable with is dragging him out of position onto the far left of the pitch for corners and the like. Seems to induce far more risk than opportunity considering who else we've got that can hit a dead ball well.

Anyone who's watched Trippier's career knows that he's got a rick in him, he even had a couple last season when he was our player of the season, but because of his age the assumption is that he's finished, which is just daft. He's clearly not fully fit as well. It'll be when his pace has completely gone that he'll be nearing the end.

I agree with this. 
 

I would still phase him out the side due to age though.  

[buzz]

That moment when he just gave up in the first half did feel like a nearing the end moment. Neville 2010 esque.

[Sempiternal]

Even a 10/15 percent drop off in his reactions is killer at Pl level. I love trips but it’s all downhill from here im afraid 

[Beth]

He's been the catalyst of our recovery under Howe but in hindsight we should have sold him to Munich. Hopefully when he's fully up to speed again we'll get at least one more good season out of him.

[duo]

The mistakes are down to lack of concentration and composure. Nothing to do with his legs going.

I dunno, he looked fucking knackered after about 20 minutes today.

[Lotus]

Think there are some harsh posts here. He’s been out and hasn’t got his sharpness. He had a lapse or 2 one of which cost us. 
Unless it’s silly money I’d be happy to see him play for us next season. Would think he’s still got 1 good season left in him.
Ideally Tino would show enough in training and matches to play at least half the games.

he's going to be lacking match fitness but he totally switched off for their first goal. that was nothing to do with his legs.

[Ben]

He might be our starting left back at the Euros, I bet Southgate is not very happy with him jetting off to Australia next week.

The second goal also before recovering for the corner. He just let a player go by him and it looked like he was looking at the sky not the play

I’m not saying he was tossing it off ala Michael Owen. But he looked like he was just going through the motions before England duty. Was miles off it all the time. Slow to react by basically a second or two at times. 

Think he’ll be very fortunate to make the England squad IMO. Looks way off it, and someone like Gomez is more sharper going into the tournament as a utility back up RB/LB. 
 

Torn on his future. Shouldn’t be a starter, but his experience for one more year for Tino/Hall on the training ground could be worth the £5m or whatever in wages. Then look for a RB 2025 that can compete with Tino.

Agree with all of that.  

 

With so many holes to fill in the squad and the money we have available.  I'd be happy for him to stay another season.  Just not sure he would be happy playing a bit part?  As he shouldn't be starting ahead of Tino or Hall now. 

[Magpie]

Totally off the pace and nowhere near ready. I wouldn't take him to the Euros

[Tiotes Witch Doctor]

Move him on, he's been finished for half a season now, has more errors leading to goals than any other player in the league, should probably be able to get a bit of money for him aswell. Only thing that concerns me is how injury prone Livramento is, but I'd trust Krafth to come in and do a better job than Trippier these days.

 

Has still been out most important signing or the Howe era, but doesn't look like the same bloke to me since around the time of all those personal rumours (true or not)

[Dokko]

Didn't see the game last night but shocked how many have turned on him. Happy to see him and Tino fight it out next season for the rb spot, but that might see him phased out and leave when he contract expires in 2025.

 

I do think we might see a Saudi club come in for him, wilson, dubs etc...and they'd be daft not to follow that money given what stage of their careers they are at.
