Yorkie Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Convinced Trippier bluffed and convinced Ederson he'd do the Everton strike again, hence the Tim Krul step in the wrong direction. Immaculate free-kick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeB Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

So pleased we have him, yes he's not perfect, but as @La Parka said, he personifies the Howe era. ?? he’s perfect for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Green Balls Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 He’s pretty much the closest to perfect we have had in that position in my 30 years supporting the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordinho Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
