80 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Wanting an alternative to take free kicks makes total sense, but calling him shit at them and permanently removing him is ridiculous hyperbole and definitely controversial. There's something deeper wrong with our set plays than the deliveries at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 He's been instrumental into transforming us from a relegation battling team to a trophy chasing team, and is one of our key assets. its a bit unfair asking him to both lead, defend and also be our main creator from right back.

Bellis80 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 They’re a small side and the delivery was either short or awful. Takes an age taking every one regardless of the score. Took about 30 seconds taking a throw in about a minute after moaning about them taking less time when they were killing it. Does me in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Close to tears in his post match interview. The club means the world to us, but it feels like some of the players have a similar connection. Fuck man. Hope we can start picking up wins again, for them as well as us.

Barnes23 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Would actually consider giving Manquillo a game in one of the upcoming fixtures. Would offer something different in attack and was one of our better players in the FA cup fixture (not saying a whole lot, I know). Most importantly though, maybe the rest would rejuvenate Trippier.

Wouldn't mind seeing Manquillo come in and sticking Trippier on the left tbh. Not something I thought I'd say this season but we just seem so desperate for something different.

I think it was @Kid Icarus who mentioned it in the cup final thread. But it feels like with some of this squad, it is getting close to the end for them here or towards the end of their careers in general. Not saying Trippier is there yet, of course. But when I looked down at full time yesterday. There were plenty on the pitch who would probably be playing in their last or only final for us, possibly anyone else. I've disliked so many players of ours over the years and got so apathetic under MA. I probably wouldn't have given a shit or been such a soppy twat. But genuinely felt sad for these multi millionaire footballers as they are a likeable bunch and they all seem to care and fight for the shirt and the badge.

Never seen a guy his height be so bad in the air, it’s absolutely crazy to watch. Like seeing a giant NBA player who can’t dunk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubteam Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Not one of our players is good at heading the ball, we have the second most corners in the premier League and I can't even remember the last time we scored from a corner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 With trippier's delivery and the height in our team, it is totally baffling as to how we're so shite at set pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester away, boxing day I think? Joelinton. Unless I've forgot one. Your point still stands though, it's something that needs addressing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair point, although I think how we're setting up may be part of the problem at this point tbh. The lopsided full backs, similar patterns of play with Almiron/Trippier and attempting to work opportunities from that side of the pitch rather than finding other avenues of attack (especially through the middle) is producing diminishing returns and has been for some time.

Gallowgate Toon Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Joelinton is the best aerial threat we have - proper meets headers. Everyone else who's tall is a good 'defensive' header. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 5, maybe closer to 8. If he and one or two others had buried a decent portion of the chances they've had from Trippier lately, I don't think there would be so much disquiet about his set pieces. Again, I recognise they aren't as lethal as they were, but Trippier isn't responsible for set piece coaching and heading practice so far as I know, so there's only so much blame we can attach to him.

One thing I’ve learnt this year more than ever is that height makes you good in the air defensively but means fuck all going forwards unless you’ve learnt to attack the ball properly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
