gdm Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Chuffed with this. Sad to see Trippier replaced as on field captain (unless he’s away) as he’s been a great captain for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejaxer Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Murphy was part of the leadership group? Since then? That's new right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Puppets Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Great news this… gives him the full time responsibility, and gives a constant voice and focal point on the pitch, especially if Tripps is going to be a more bit part player this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 not sure about this. Lascelles and Trippier will probably be gone by next summer at the latest. Why not just wait until then to make him captain? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just wait until then to make him captain? Lascelles will still be official captain, and if he's on the pitch he will be given it. Its just that when he's not it'll be Bruno that gets the armband and not Trippier or Burn. Its a positive thing to be honest, the fact we could have 4 captain worthy players on the pitch at any one time is quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon him having to go so long without a yellow last season might have taken him to an even better level than before. He played on the edge without going over.

RodneyCisse Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Yeah, all things point towards this being a massive positive. Excited to see if we get a contract extension shortly too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Love Lascelles as club captain, I'm not sure if he'll ever play for the club again, but I hope this means he stays on in some capacity Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 The odds of finding a Brazilian in France in our first transfer window with new owners while battling relegation who would turn out to be a transformative player, a future captain, and have this mindset "I want my photo to be in the reception like Sir Bobby Robson, Kevin Keegan, Jackie Milburn" were so incredibly miniscule.

nemtizz Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 As strange as it sounds Bruno being so versatile at both ends of the pitch is a bit of a dilemma. On transition we still look extremely vulnerable. Not sure it's a personnel issue, more positional. Might have to go back and watch some games from 22/23 and see the difference. Tonali's legs should help but my lord I'd kill for a DM. Favourite position in football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Are we thinking this is the end of Tripps then? Certainly suggests to me he won't be first choice, and I'm not sure I can see him sticking around to be a bit part player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gone from golden boy, captain (on the pitch) and first choice right back to 2nd choice right back (possibly) and vice, vice captain. Definitely been downgraded.

I'd say realistically we know Tino's the future and at some point he's got to be given his shot. With Trips back late due to England it's a good excuse to play the young'un. Now it's up to Tino to play well enough to keep his place. Still think Trips could be used on the RW mind. Think his passing and technique could be very useful there. If Trips does play though, whether he's captain or not he'll still be a leader. Could see that in the England games in the Summer.

Kanji Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Jamaal isn't playing for a very long time for us. If Bruno is on the pitch, he's captain. If he and Trippier are on the pitch, then Bruno remains captain. If Bruno isn't playing, then Trippier wears it, next in line is Burn, Wilson/Murphy I assume.
