Smal Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 it’s absurd when he plays like that. His decision making and use of the ball is so much better than anyone else I’ve seen play for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keggy_Keagal Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Trippier being top drawer isn't new, but his reading of the game is at times supernatural. Also, someone needs to put the clip of the corner flag nutmeg moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Inch by inch getting closer to a goal. If he could wait until the Milan game that would be great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Thought he had a fantastic game tonight, his trapping of a ball and first touch is exceptional. I know it’s been said a lot but it can’t be praised enough, it is a huge reason for why he manages to start so many attacks for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDog Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 My work mate who lives in Leeds said yesterday when we were chatting he thought Newcastle were amazing these days and that Trippier was their best signing in turning everything around.

pedro111 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 He was fucking immense tonight. Pure aggression chanelled properly on more than one occasion and sorted Garnacho out in an old school way and his reading of the game was different class.

Stottie Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Every opponent will now know how we play and how key Trippier is to it. That they still cannot stop it just shows how good we and he are at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 mildly interesting stat whilst browsing some fbref: Trippier (111) has attempted the most crosses in the premier league this season by quite a distance: But NUFC (205) have attempted the 2nd fewest crosses in the league: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Also this is fun: 5ft 8" and the 5th best aerial percentage in the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it in his thread but Livramento, even out of position, really helps give us balance down the flanks. Edited December 5, 2023 by thomas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I've seen anyone take a first touch better since Ben Arfa (Stoke 3-0 at home always springs to mind). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Mahrez has the best first touch I can recall (quite possibly some recency bias there), like silk. But agree, Trippier’s is phenomenal as well, often allows him to get 2 or 3 extra yards away from someone closing him down, which then allows him half a second extra to pick out a perfect pass.
