Yorkie Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Think it's clear at this point that Howe is happy keeping Burn as first choice LB. Trippier is probably third choice for that position; he's so influential from RB so there'd have to be an extremely good reason to move him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnonel Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) LB is not as urgent as RB. And the roles are not the same. In our current system, going forward, RB charges forward, LB tucks in to a back 3. There is some fluidity obviously. If Trippier gets injured, we are screwed.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I would guess we’d bring Targett in rather than move Trippier over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the system not the way because of the personnel ? If through injuries or whatever Trippier did play left then he'd play the same way but on the left. Not advocating it btw, just thinking Livramento, should he come, alters things even short term as things stand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnonel Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 No, most modern teams attack with a back 3 and a box midfield, but like I said, there is some fluidity in our system. Our LB and RB roles are not the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I said it in another thread but Tripper is 33 in a couple of months, even with the fact he's an absolute professional, there's no way he can play in 40+ games. He made 38 league appearances last season and that's the most he's made for any club since Burnley in 14/15. The games he misses we sorely lack any quality at RB, Livramento adds this and fills the spot for the next 5 years minimum. Its good for Tripps as well, we're better of having him in peak condition for 25 games than stretched out and underperforming over 38 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC in Brighton game Burn’s average position was way higher than Trippier’s and we dominated them. Most likely Eddie throwing a curve ball to de Zerbi and it worked a treat and showed that we are not that limited tactically due to Burn’s lankiness.

gbandit Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Aye, it’s total nonsense. They want over £30m for an extremely talented player who’s had a whole season off with the worst injury you can get in football, and they’ve been relegated. Livramento clearly wants to come so the win for them is selling him for the most money they can. The win for us is buying him for the least money we can. The two are diametrically opposed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

prefabtoon Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) Looking like things are finaly moving now to sign Livramento Tino Livramento will NOT travel with the Southampton squad ahead of their first game of the Championship season tomorrow night. The Saints are due to face Sheffield Wednesday in their opening game of the 2023/24 season following relegation, but it’s emerged that the 20-year-old will play no part. https://www.nufcblog.co.uk/2023/08/03/tino-livramento-update-good-news-for-nufc-as-southampton-make-another-telling-move/ Edited August 3, 2023 by prefabtoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
