Andy Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 He simply hasn't adapted his game as his legs have started to let him down. Still tries to push on but hasn't got the engine any more to get back. Thiaw is having to do twice the work defensively which is why he's starting to look iffy too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagPar Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 He's too slow now, should have been punted 2 years ago, but no, he's still here making pensioners look fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenlau88210 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 An intelligent and tidy player with little pace and physicality left. Didn't get nearly tight enough to stop the cross for the 1st goal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 he’s a big problem but he’s been given an impossible task. Pretty infuriating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bournemouth cup game was my moment of realisation as one of their not so speedy players ran away from him comfortably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 18 minutes ago, GeordieT said: As it happens saw earlier today a Gary Neville clip talking about his performance against WBA which led to him retiring. Simply had a nightmare of a half, got subbed - said it made him realise he wasn't up to it anymore and had to retire. Parallels with today’s game. Trippier has been a wonderful servant but he’s labouring now. If he wants to continue playing unfortunately it can’t be here. I think we've seen it before today His passing is poor, when it used to be a strength of his, but for me it's how he goes rushing into empty spaces and the ball is either played past him or a player just swivels and jogs beyond him and he can't keep up Think it's going to be a rough ending for his final months here, which is sad to see because he's been one heck of a servant for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Aye, his pace is well gone but we've/he's not adapted at all. Outside of him looking pretty rubbish defensively, he just slows the game down in key moments far too much for my liking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is trying to adapt, look at him giving acres of space to the Brentford player for their 2nd because he knows that if he gets too close he will just get passed. You just can't have a FB being that slow, there is no adapting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack14Bojangles Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Trippier's time is up. As long as he's playing right-back, we'll concede one or two goals in every game. The passivity on the cross that led to the equalizer today was truly awful. No pressure was applied to the opposing winger, allowing him to deliver the perfect cross with complete ease. The 1-2 goal also came from his side because he had advanced too far and was running back too slowly. Edited February 7 by Jack14Bojangles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikky Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Opposition will continue to target him now - he’s the new Dan Burn We should have shaken hands in the summer - parted ways - leaves as an icon Totally exposed now and really sad to see - we hold on to players far too long and it’s frustrates the hell out of me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobsonsWonderland Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 If we had 4 fit CBs I would have tried Thiaw as emergency RB for the next game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 It's a sorry sight to see such an iconic hero being reduced to this, it can't go on this way! Similar to watching Cal last season, it'spainfully obvious he's just not a PL player for the level we aspire to anymore. At the moment he's a man down at best and a liability at worst.

To be fair he was very good in the cup final, so 2 years is ludicrously harsh. But the gig looks up now, for sure.

He's so far off it now it's hard to watch so I just want it to stop for his benefit as well as ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar the cup final he hasn’t been good tbh - for a few years now Was a spell where he was giving away goals left right and centre (I remember 3-0 Everton A, Chelsea in the cup) he was never the same after that spell Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was consistently fantastic prior to that though. Edited February 7 by TheEntertainer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
