McCormick Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Easily in the top 3 right-backs in the world. When was the last time we had one of the best players in the world playing for us, Shearer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiekris Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Said to me brother at the match yesterday he's probably one of the best playmakers at the club in our lifetime and he plays right back. 😂 Its mental. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Didn’t get to watch the game yesterday but noticed him popping up in the middle. Wonder if this is a tactic we’re going to see when we play Murphy and Murph can hold the width and deliver a killer ball from wide, where as Miggy would come in and create the overload there. I don’t want to be that guy, but he absolutely could play midfield if need be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzla Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) He embodies the Howe era at NUFC First player to take a gamble and come here whilst we were still in the shite First player on the team sheet He’s the perfect mix of talent, graft, class, guile, ambition, confidence, maturity and leadership Absolutely love him Edited October 22, 2023 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorchyTBB Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Trippier brings back a Keegan memory for me. I knew Keegan was a class act, but I didn't truly realise how good he was until we signed him. Same for Trippier. Both top, top class players, who for me, exceeded my expectations.

greydos Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Trippier’s too good. He’s completed football. In fairness to all other players he should take up a new sport like Paddle or Modern Pentathlon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Who is actually better than him? James, Cancelo, Koundè, Hakimi, Walker? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Don't think Ive ever been more comfortable with a Newcastle player, he just doesn't make mistakes and everything he does is pure class. He's not just the best right back (by some distance) I've ever seen for us, he's simply one of the best players I've seen for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Footballing IQ. He’s on a different level regarding this. Has the talent to make the most of it too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 He could keep doing this for another 5+ seasons if he gets lucky with injuries IMO. Even if he slows down a bit he could start playing inside more like a lot of fullbacks do now. Not good news for Livramento Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say any of those are clearly ‘better’ than him. Some have different strengths and weaknesses but he’s up there with the very best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's talked about it as well, more as a tactical thing than a plan to give him more longevity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Vinegar Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Every match this guy does at least one thing that makes me disbelieve I'm watching a Newcastle player. His assist for Murphy yesterday being one. He's sublime, so classy, plus he's got a brilliant attitude, clearly values coaching, and what I especially like is that you regularly see him trying to make our other players do better. What a fucking player man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Really miss him scoring one over the wall now. But wouldn't mind it as long as he plays, stays fit and we keep winning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all very different types of fullback, and you could argue that Cancelo and Hakimi almost aren't fullbacks at all so that skews their attacking statistics so much. Trippier is far more balanced than any of those other than perhaps James. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
