Seen his ex-missus was bouncing about at Rong last night... Woman's got good taste in music

Tino's a better defender but hasn't a clue on taking position further forward when breaking which is still a massive experience part of our game.

 

And we can't expect them to play every game, in games we expect to dominate possession and teams to sit back I'd play Trippier.

 

Maybe I'm too nuanced for " he was shite all game" stuff.

 

I mean I think you're talking cack 

 

Last season we were playing Burn at LB whenever he was fit, nomatter who we were playing. Even against bottom sides. It would be a new thing for us to change fullbacks based on opposition. Usually we do some testing at the start of a season, and then we largely stick to the same players in most games, except for when injuries are forcing us to make changes. This is especially true in defence. We tend to change it up a little bit more in midfield.

Out for a month, according to an ITK.

Injuries tends to happen more frequently past a certain age in football. Some players get them earlier than others, but it's not uncommon to have more injuries in the final years of your carreer. This was one of the risks of keeping him. It's just unfortunate that we're not allowed to spend, otherwise getting a replacement would be an option.

Which ITK? We don't have (m)any good ones.

This the same “ITK” that said big Joe was out for 6 weeks a few days ago?

Crumb of comfort in that article

RB is not an area we are short for cover. We have Livramento, who is arguably first choice anyway, and at a push we can play Krafth who is a capable 3rd choice.

 

Wish we could say the same for the striker cover.

True.  But we do still rely heavily on his passing out from the back.  Especially if we end up with the unholy ball playing trinity of Tino, Longstaff and Murphy down that right hand side.

 

Hoping Trippier missing might be negated by Tonali now seemingly the starter, Hall on the opposite side offering some line breaking passes and possibly a change at RW.  Barnes/Gordon or even Almiron, at times.  We are so weak down that flank or side of the pitch in general when we have so many that are bad on the ball.

There's always going to be some downside to anything, but we are still lucky enough to have two England RBs to choose from. I think Tino is better when he's played on the right as opposed to switching to LB where he's been used at times this season. Even Tripps suffers when he's got players in front of him who can't hold the ball for more than two touches. I actually think MIggy is probably the best suited for possession football down the right if end product is taken out of the equation.

[Big River]

it's a bit worrying, because we've looked largely terrible when Tripps hasn't been in the side

[Doctor Zaius]

Thought Livramento looked good when he came on against Everton.

Hopefully having Tonali down that side will ease the technical issues a bit.

Tonali is not a technician. We need to stop putting this pressure on him.

Yeah, agreed. That’s not his game. 
 

We lose so much passing progression on our right hand side without Trippier, Livra is defensively solid but he’s not a technically natural attacking full back. We arnt deploying a full bore press anymore so technical and creative quality in wide areas is more important than before, we are just lacking in this regard especially without Trippier. Luckily Hall is progressive on the other side.

 

I’ve mentioned it before, but you get the most out of players like Tonali and Livramento in a press. Two players that seemed to be signed for the style that we don’t seem to want to use anymore.. not saying we can’t still get very good use out of these players because we are able to adapt and will do so.

Tino’s attacking threat is mostly with his ball carrying.

Why no Tripps in squad v Brighton?
