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

[LionOfGosforth]

Good to see Tripps and EH walking off sharing a laugh and a joke, let's not report on positive stuff like that though, much more fun to dribble on about civil wars etc

[PauloGeordio]

🥳🎉🎂🎈

Indeed he has. Started the revolution!

[SteV]

Already played more games for us than he did for Spurs. Which surprised me tbh.

In the league.  Got about 20 more for them overall.

The current players we have at our disposal would probably suit a 5-3-2 better than 4-3-3.

Replace our crap RWs with Tripps down that side.

Negate Hall's 1-1 weakness by having Kelly there as support

Gordon playing up top nearer to Isak, breaking the lines with his pace

 

 

 

 

Where does Barnes play?

[duo]

Is he injured? I didn't see him in the training video

He was in the training pics on Wednesday. Isak wasn’t.

Rumours are the toe is gangrenous. He might lose his foot.

That's the big conundrum. On current form, alongside Isak instead of Gordon

I think Trippier is cooked. 

 

I've noticed it in most of his games now since last year. 

 

He used to play really aggressively and it made up for his lack of speed. 

 

Maybe because his legs have truly gone now or it's a mentality thing, but he backs off massively now to protect himself being in exposed but that has a knock on effect. 

 

It goes under the radar because of Popes error, but you can see on the 2nd goal, he is backing off Danny Simpson style and allowing too much space. 

It happened for a chance before then aswell. 

 

It's sad to see because he was so good for that period after he joined. Haven't even mentioned the absence of his attacking play anymore too.

 

I hope it's mentality and lack of form, but I suspect it's probably more physical and he's just not up to it anymore which has inturn destroyed his confidence.

I didn't want to bring it up, but thought his defending on goal #2 was absolutely terrible.

It was but he was left in a fairly shite position by those not covering well ahead of him, felt like he was backing to try and bide some time for others to arrive. For some reason, Joelinton and Willock were within about 10 yards of one another miles away from where one of them should've been, and Bruno seemingly hadn't checked to cover that space either. Even if he had, he'd have been leaving a big gap in the middle, to be fair.

 

We've been incredibly passive loads this season. Never mind high pressing, we seem to be doing a lot of 'containing' even in deep areas without taking many risks to get the ball back.

Yep.  The aggression and intensity has totally disappeared from our game for the most part.  Players getting bounced, not paying attention, looking lazy and a bit uninterested.  It was mentioned last season as something that had dropped off.  But I think there were mitigating factors a lot of the time and there were still games where we really went for it.  Even if we did gas and could only do it for a half or so due to the inability to rotate and rest players.  

 

I'm hoping it isn't a case of people putting 2 and 2 together with the Bunce appointment and our shift to an urecognisable side.  But it is certainly odd how weak and passive we have looked and the sudden shift to whatever it is we are trying to do now.

It refers to an article in the Sun (apologies for that!) but I can't see him being "desperate" to leave.

 

He's always struck me as the consummate professional, especially as one of the so called leaders along with Cal, BDB and Bruno.

I think he might go to Saudi in January, It looks like his lass has fucked off so he might need some more cash in the future, he's packed in England now so its all set up for him really

Good luck to him too. Get a nice fat pension fund while he still can.

By all accounts he's been trying to get out of here for a while.

Is that definite? I'd heard that a month or 2 ago. But the ITK lad( can't remember username) said I was wrong

Which makes us turning down decent money in January from Bayern even more perplexing.

Not really given we were in the middle of an injury crisis and had one fit RB
