Not optimal by any means, but its not like we are fucked if Trippier leaves. Lol You can’t say we aren’t fucked on the basis Murphy can play there. Trying to get CL football with Murphy as the RB would be a disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would only be a 3rd choice and in any realistic scenario only play a few games before we could find a replacement in January. But sure, if Tino and Krafth got long term injuries the day after Trippier left things arent going to be looking good.

Saudi for the money fair enough Or everton to be closer to his kids (rumours ) Doesn't make sense Why he'd be desperate to leave to go to Turkey? He wants a longer deal. We defo shouldn't let him go at this stage imo, but he wants to go so the rumours won't go away unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was captain on the pitch and captain in all but name, just as Bruno is now. No point in getting into pedantics imo. Having the captaincy taken off you is strange like, especially considering how good a leader Trippier has been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted September 9, 2024 Share Posted September 9, 2024 Worth noting this fwiw: Quote Howe may have miscalculated the significance of the captaincy for Trippier, who was said to be hurt by the downgrade in status, but the right-back has continued to drive standards and act with the utmost professionalism, as the head coach predicted. While he has been warming up during matches, Trippier has been providing advice and essentially coaching players from the sidelines, including speaking regularly with Livramento, despite the younger man taking his place in the side.

Well it's the same as it was for Lascelles, he is no longer put first choice RB, so Howe has given it to someone who will start every (league) game when fit. Nothing strange about that at all.

Tiresias Posted September 9, 2024 Share Posted September 9, 2024 It is harsh but also our main captain probably should be on the pitch most the time and trippier is definitely being eased away from automatic starting (even if he will start a lot). It's well harsh but long term I don't think it will diminish his standing internally, we have been a club with a lot of good leaders internally, which stemmed from Rafa instilling it somewhat and then Bruce era when the players had to step up cos the coach was sure as hell not going to bother Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think it's fair, I wouldn't expect him to be not involved to the extent that the captaincy needs to change hands. I think people have forgotten just how good he still is.

Didn’t read that way but anyway.. I agree I’ve been a defendant of KT on here. His form last season was at times some of his best before December. Just had a bad six weeks approximately with a couple of high profile errors and then struggled with injury and whilst playing not fully fit an odd game. Not naive to not realise off the pitch hasn’t helped at times. He’s still got a big part to play this season IMO. Maybe not as prominent as he would like but I don’t think EH underestimates his importance. The managers balancing act AGAIN has been caused by PSR.

TRon Posted September 9, 2024 Share Posted September 9, 2024 I think Eddie's gone over and above to keep Trippier on board. We could have sold him in January, and with PSR concerns, getting good money for a 33 year old - 34 later this month - was not to be sniffed at. Howe sees him as a key player, shifting him now for pennies seems a bit pointless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted September 9, 2024 Share Posted September 9, 2024 Apart from the Ryan Fraser stuff which was quickly dealt with by placing him in the reserves, I think this may be the first public show of discontent by a player since Howe joined Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard any issues from EH (seemed a bit bemused by it all) and I’ve not heard anything come from KT yet unless I’ve missed it? Wouldn’t be surprised if certain people in KTs camp… wether it being current or perhaps former enjoying stirring a bit of controversy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted September 9, 2024 Share Posted September 9, 2024 I don't know why Trippier is twisting (if he even is) he's a Liveramento injury away from starting every game for us anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted September 9, 2024 Share Posted September 9, 2024 Trips will go on to have a good career in coaching and/or management, IMO. Seems to have that about him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouldy_uk Posted September 9, 2024 Share Posted September 9, 2024 Would hate to see a long drawn out divorce between us and Tripps as I’ve been a big fan, probably best if he had gone in the summer RE captaincy. Definitely needs to be a guaranteed starter so understand the move to Bruno. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted September 9, 2024 Share Posted September 9, 2024 I suppose being a captain means you represent the highest standards of your club on and off the pitch. When the press break his story he’ll be glad his not the club talisman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like us supporters to be a lot slower to believe bad things about people at the club who, going only by the evidence of our own eyes, have offered nothing but the utmost commitment to the club.
