Solitude20 Posted Monday at 12:51 Share Posted Monday at 12:51 (edited) Tino looked better at LB than RB last season, and I think it’s down to the players around him. At RB, he had Murphy ahead of him, who doesn’t really offer much link-up play or movement to support overlaps. But on the left, playing with Gordon or Barnes, he had teammates who cut inside and created space for him to attack. Even Trippier struggled to impact games on the right last season, which shows it’s more about chemistry and whole setup than position.

The link-up between Tino and Barnes for about 4-6 weeks was one of the biggest reasons we have a cup win and another top 5 finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, Murphy needs a full back, Gordon and Barnes need a wing back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted Wednesday at 19:41 Share Posted Wednesday at 19:41 From Douglas: The reset may not be over, though. The i Paper understands that City remain in the market for a right-back – tentative efforts to tempt Newcastle United to sell Tino Livramento have met with a resounding not-for-sale message from St James’ Park – and may replace senior first team players who they will listen to offers for.

Alberto2005 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Do we keep him LB considering how well he's doing there? Guessing not considering we've got Hall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Feels unfair for him to be playing that level. For his opponents I mean. Shame they have him playing left back though. Would like him to get back familiar playing right back ready for next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
