Kieran Trippier

[Ginola]

Rolled back the years, absolutely superb

[alexf]

What I noticed right from the off was that he was right into everything aggressively. That's what made him so good I'm his first period here and he set the tone and example for everyone in those early days.

 

When he had his wobble, whether it was physical decline or off the field mental well fare, he noticeably started backing off and looking scared to engage due to lack of pace. 

 

But not today, that was the Trips we fell in love with, smashing in, winning duels, pushing forward, aerially strong, organising those around him. 

 

When he held that hammy I was so gutted for him and for us what impact it might have 2nd half. No bother he powered through and kept going. 

 

Top lad.

Had a feeling he would be a key player today given his experience of big games and playing at Wembley, and what a performance he put in. Positive from the first whistle in everything he did and some vital defensive contributions. If he moves on in the summer he should be remembered as one of the most important signings in our recent history

If he does go in the Summer it is fitting he leaves with a medal for his time here.   

[Yorkie]

Absolutely delighted that he's secured his legacy with his recent form back in the team, and he was exceptional yesterday along with the rest of them. Great man. 

[Tisd09]

So many heroes out there yesterday, his big game experience was vital. Pity he wasn't a few years young, with his experience he is still one of the most effective RB's in the league.

Shocked the hell out of me today.

 

Had Diaz crying to the ref all game and brought so much composure and direction to the back line.

 

What a time to deliver that performance. Crazy.

 

Diaz was getting some of the ball more and looked like he would be the Liverpool threat, then Trippier gave him a dirty nudge when he was in the air, landed on his back and didn't want anything more to do with Trippier  

[Doctor Zaius]

Absolutely brilliant yesterday. A leader in every sense of the word.

A bit off asking about his family as she must have known they've separated

 

 

 

It was, but his response was really heartening.

 

So happy for him. He's been on a hell of a story arc with us. Looks himself again in every way. I assume he's off in the summer, but he's well and truly sewn himself into the fabric of the club in the best possible way now.

Emotions are high today but I genuinely think he was the most important signing since the takeover. He was absolutely world class in that first 18 months, but more than that, he was the leader of the group and set the tone for everything. A club legend in my eyes, so pleased for him yesterday, he was brilliant.

After all the emotion, I just want to pay tribute to this guy, he is a big game player, he shows up and gives it all, its been a up and down season for him at times, in and out of the side, but he's kept cool always had the top pro leadership traits.

 

I thought he was tremendous yesterday, he was tremendous versus Arsenal, whatever happens with his career, id love to see him here in some coaching capacity.

 

He knew something was going to happen when he signed believing in what he was told, im so pleased he stuck around to fulfill the dream.

"Legs have gone"  Get in the bin

 

 

 

Outstanding performance. Noted, iirc after he toppled Diaz, when he was "chatting" with the ref? Bruno, Captain, came over and Tripps gently put his hand on Bruno's chest and held him back as if to say "no, I've got this"

 

Him, Bruno AND Lascelles with the cup was so so classy man.
