Trippier played 30 minutes and attempted 53 passes. Tino played 65 and attempted 21.

 

Not sure what that says but thought it was a wild stat

23 of those was him to Schar and back in a 20 second spell

[Stottie]

Leicester had essentially given up by the time Trippier came on. We were in see it out mode too, so didn't attempt anything too ambitious.

Apparently wouldn’t take the armband off Bruno, or Burn when offered it ?

From where I was stood in GEC it looked like Bruno wasn’t sure whether to pass it to Burn or Trippier and then the three of them quickly decided on Burn

That was hilarious I think they just wanted to see how many time Leicester would let them do it

Did he not want the captains armband? 

Where i was sat it looked like when Bruno came to give him it he waved him away and pointed to Burn.  I thought Burn looked slightly confused by it all.

Aye - same from where I was sat too. 

[Heron]

Should be Burn.

 

He's featured more and has been a leader for us.

 

Trippier wad right to do so in my opinion, unless otherwise intsructed by his manager.

[Smal]

watching the game back. He looked really motivated and was barking out instructions all the time. Reassuring. 

[Fak]

Top class today considering his lengthy layout and was chucked back in the side last minute. Hope that injury is just a precaution. 

[54]

That was a Trippier 2022/23 performance that, top quality all round.

[Sibierski]

Very good. Bit slow in some situations, but calm and that defending at back post for 2-0 was his experience reading the situation where you don’t need pace.

[Yorkie]

Very nice to see him and playing well.

[aussiemag]

Did he come off with cramp or an injury?

Will be cramp - you would expect that given his age and mins played this season 

[dave s]

good to see him back in action 

[Nucasol]

There was a moment Villa had a corner, you could see him talking to the team who were all stood still and next thing you know they were all alert, bouncing on their toes. Absolute leader on the pitch.

[lovejoy]

Not leaving in Jan as it stands, nowhere to go.

 

Good news in the short term, he was good against Villa.

[Checko]

Still think having Trips in the squad is probably worth at least 3 or 4 points over the year. Just from having a quality backup when needed, his experience, leadership, especially as we have two young developing fullbacks.

I think his experience will be vital on what looks like a renewed assault on top four and Europe second half of the season. He’ll go in the summer I’d imagine.

Yeah, there was an interview with him with Gary Neville just before the Euros where he basically said going forward he just wants to play as long as possible & is happy to drop down the leagues if necessary to do so. I doubt he'll want to be a backup another year.

 

Would be a good pick up for a newly promoted team though. Maybe if Burnley get back up.

Aye, noticed this, coach on the pitch.

[christ]

He offers us something different to Tino, so I’d definitely keep him around if we’re able to/he’s happy to stay. Having two overlapping fullbacks either side who can whip balls in adds another dimension IMO.

I do think his absence is part of the reason we’ve become a bit more mentally fragile. We don’t have that talker who can keep their head when he’s not playing.

[Sibierski]

He’s experience is needed, but he needs to keep it together off the pitch too.

[STM]

I reckon by the end of January someone will see him as a useful cheap option for a couple of seasons. Everton perhaps.
