He has been so important to the club.  He brings professionalism, belief, fight and experience.
His bad form could just be about his personal life.  Having gone through such an ordeal, it takes a massive toll and hits you mentaly and physicly.
I hope he stays and takes up some kind of role at the club when he retires.  But for all he has given to the club, if he wants to leave we should allow him that in the summer.

His performance reminded me of like Casemiro / Varane in the final we lost. Players whose legs have gone, playing poorly, but when it comes to those massive one off games, the experience overrides all those deficiencies.

 

Think if we get Liverpool in final, we will set up and play like we did tonight. If it’s Spurs, it’ll be usual 4-3-3. 

Those lads has good seasons then tbf.

Loved the armband thing with Bruno.

 

He was absolutely brilliant last night. When hes playing like that he has to be starting. All of his issues and previous form acknowledged.

 

 

 

After the final whistle he went to Bruno to hand the armband back.

 

Bruno gestured to him to put it back on. 😍

The armband thing was a lovely moment but it feels like such a weird thing to be thinking about at that very moment. :lol: like 'hey before I forget and take it home with me!'.

Yep he doesn't like Arsenal mind!

Trossard definitely said something that riled him up as well cos he was raging

Bruno smashing him straight after half time was definitely one for Trips. Gave him a mouthful after as well

Got to keep him. Still a better RB than Tino and an organiser/calming influence on the team (already he was on radge setting last night).

Idk if he's a better rb than Tino. They are very different type of players. He definitely has qualities we miss when Tino plays & vice versa. 

 

Would he have performed as well yesterday if Howe had opted for a 433 putting more defensive responsibility on him?

I definitely feel like people completely take Tino's defending for granted now, he's been that good.

 

If Trippier gets a run they will soon remember though.

Think it shows how much it means to him, duty to the club, your rank in the squad etc. Wanted to show respect.

It's a good question. That's why I'm not quite at the point of saying "he should start the next game". But IF he is in that kind of form, it's the kind of thing that makes you wonder if adjustments should be made to accommodate him.
