More likely that the exchange with the fan was an early sign that something else isn't quite right with him tbh. Was out of character for him to bite back like that.

Checko Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) Fuck me, a month ago he was the highest rated RB in Europe according to Sofa Score. Now some seem to want to send him off to the knackers to turn him into glue. Surely we should at least keep him for stud. He's had a few bad games and made a few errors. It's very annoying but happens to all players & his have also all been punished recently. He hasn't gone from world class to shit overnight. He'll be fine.

I'm sure it hasn't helped at all, and has definitely added to the pressure, after perhaps the first error he made. He's definitely in his head right now, and is all over the place mentally.

Someone with the experience of Trippier you let play their way back into form. The answer is not to drop him for Paul fucking Dummett. Sure if you think that keep playing him is the best way to get him back in form i get your perspective, for me i think giving him some rest is a better way to get there. Then we also get the benefit of not letting in goals out of nowhere in the meantime. Dummett has played nearly 200 games for us, he is not fucking useless.

Wandy Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Tonight is largely on him. Not just for the error, but he should have been sensible enough to not take the penalty. It was clear as day that his head was gone as he stepped up to take it. I love the lad but I’m seriously pissed off with him tonight. He needs a long break, for his own good.

Yorkie Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I don't think the answer would be to ostracise him, and I'd say that even if he wasn't one of our best and most important players. If his confidence wasn't incredibly fragile before then it certainly will be now but the only way to rebuild it will be to put faith in him. If it's absolutely clear that he isn't in the right place mentally to start Premier League games (something only he and Howe will know), then fine. But if it's just football: fuck it, even the best players go through ropey spells - they don't recover by being on the bench. The mistake tonight was staggering but on his day he's arguably the best in the league. It was only a fortnight or so ago that he was on his day.

I'm honestly talking about tonights performance by Trippier which was shocking. I think his appointment has been immense to the progress of the team. Tonight he was shite! His last three or four appearances haven’t been good either. Do we all understand each other now? Fuck off man! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does actually talk in one of his interviews how he was going through a bad spell at Spurs at Pochettino kept picking him, and he actually wished he was dropped and taken out of the firing line and given some time to sort himself out.

One of those where I've just got total faith in the individuals to play it right. They're a dream team, him and Howe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) He’s going through a rough spell and is costing us games. I really hope it’s just form and not the start of a permanent decline. The errors are so silly that I’m inclined to say it’s all mental (and mental fatigue). I’m sure Howe does his best to correct it. Anyone saying people have short memories when criticising him, you don’t get to make mistakes like these and expect no one to say anything. He’s been a legit liability for few games now.

mondonewc Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Think Howe should've protected him tonight and insisted he didn't take a pen. He's having a bad period after being amazing for two years, everyone has a right to be pissed off, this one hurts me the most of all our results this season, but ffs given him your support.

splinter Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Yes he is playing poorly, but overall he is a top player and such a great example to all tge young players at the club.loyalty works both ways and at this point we need to support him.

We'd better be ready for their direct and physical style of play. Not a great game for Trippier, has to be said, as he will have to deal with a lot of pace, physicality, long balls and crosses into the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
