Kieran Trippier

My dodgy stream was about a minute behind and as Trippier was putting the ball down I had a text from my dad saying I CAN'T COPE. Was great watching and being 99% sure it was going straight in.

Scored three out of four direct free kicks that he's taken for us. 

That is a crazy, likely unsustainable ratio ?.

But it's also probably why I turned to my gf as soon as we won the freekick and said Trippers is going to score from here. Just gives you that confidence. 

With players like ASM aswell it's great because teams will be scared to foul him around the box due to the added risk of Trippier.

Goalkeepers be shitting it when he steps up now! ??????

Noticed that he waited for Ederson to set his wall up and then placed the ball a yard further to his left. Totally changed the angle and sent Ederson moving fractionally the wrong way.
 

Very clever as well as an immaculate strike.

I heard the roar from the ground about 30 seconds before my stream caught up. It was nice to watch knowing he was going to score.

He’s pretty much the closest to perfect we have had in that position in my 30 years supporting the club.

 

Early days in his time with us, but it'd be interesting where people think he ranks alongside our other decent FK takers...

 

Trippier

Shearer

Robert

Solano

Ryan Taylor? Shit player but he could hit a ball

Emre

Liam O'Brien - Showing my age a bit now but he was always a good bet from anywhere inside 30 yards

Philippe Albert - Remember him taking a cracking one vs Man U in the League Cup, time is dulling my memory on how often he took them though, I suspect it wasn't much given the other options we had

 

Probably missed someone really obvious. I'd have Trippier at the top of that list based on what I've seen so far, think that's roughly the order I'd put them in based on a quick think. There has been a real dearth of talent in this regard for a long time at the club though. You could argue for Shelvey after Leeds, but before that he's done nothing from set pieces even though you'd think he should have that in his locker based on his long-range passing.

You could add Cabaye to that list too. 

 

For me, 

Trippier

Solano

Robert

Shearer

Cabaye

Emre

Taylor

 

from the players I've seen and remember (I don't remember Albert taking FK's)

Top 4 are solid though - Shearer is arguably unlucky to be 4th, he had his fair share of powerblasters and even curlers in his early time. Just the other three are more specialist.

That's why I placed Shearer higher, he could do anything with a free kick - Curlers, net busters, close in, 30-yarders. He had great variety and was a bit of a combination of Robert and Solano in that respect even though he was clearly not quite as good at either bit as them. You'd never think Solano might knock it in from 30 yards and with Robert 20 yards often felt too close provided the wall was set up well.

 

Shearer was always a danger, so if you gave Shearer, Solano and Robert 100 Fks from various points I'd not be surprised if Shearer beat them both.

 

All great strikers of the ball though and a fun hypothetical.

Sheedy for the indirect 10 yards from goal.

We're building a reputation that will get in the heads of the opposition.

How do you deal with ASM

How do you get past Joelinton

How do you beat Nick pope

Teams are going to have to work hard all week to beat us.

It's one thing being able to perform in a decent team. It's a whole other thing being able to lift the quality of a poor team around you. Which since January he has shown he excels at. What a player and what a leader he is.
