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

Thought it was harsh Tripps having to handover the Captains armband to Bruno when he came on. Tripps is a leader and has been an outstanding captain.

You may see it as harsh but that's just Trippier setting standards. He immediately gave Lascelles the armband when he came on too.

Will have his uses this season if he stays. But I hope he doesn't start against Spurs. Son embarrassed him in the away fixture last season and on the evidence of the Forest game, he would do it again. 

 

Horses for courses. Tino needs to start this one.

Defensively he's still our best RB

As much as I love Bruno being a passionate captain, today was a day we needed some calm, experienced heads when we had our backs against the wall and trying to ride the pressure. I understand Tino should be ahead of him and Tino did very well today, but Trippier's leadership would have calmed our nerves. Really hope no Turkish or whatever other club try sign him. We still need him at times like today.

I actually think whatever has gone on behind the sences with trips has had a big impact on our season.

There is no way he goes from been captain to a sub without pissing Eddie off.

The result of this is that Bruno is now captain but the team don't know how to respond to that as both Bruno and Tripps are very popular and no-one looks to want to look like they are taking sides.

I miss crazy cheerleading, fist pumping Bruno, he did a great job walking the yellow card tightrope last season and matured as a player and now he needs to get his head around been captain, he will get there but I get the impression he is playing within himself as a result.

I'm rambling a bit but the summary for me is tripps has fucked up and it has had an impact on the team unity.

I've seen nothing from Trippier that suggests he will be anything other than professional about his situation. I don't think he will be happy but he won't cause disruption.

 

I think there has been a misjudgement of what's go on. He didn't ask to leave because he lost the captaincy or his place in the side. He lost his place in the side and the captaincy because he wanted to leave in January.... and Tino Livramento is class. 

 

If he kicks up a stink and stops performing, his options for leaving only get worse. I can absolutely see him leaving in January... injuries permitting.
