I can understand why, Tripps has some experience on the left but it's clear Tino can play there and getting him on the pitch is a good thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 He's so clearly better than Burn IMO and I love the big fella. I'd say LB is his position to lose, right now. Livramento is the future. Someone who can play both fullback positions at such a high standard is gold dust. For me Southgate should have him as first pick going forward, on this basis alone.

Still can't believe Southgate took a run into the ground Trippier for two exhibition matches over Livramento. Should have been sacked on the spot for that.

TRon Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 He's a top class player already. What a signing. Not only good at defending, but an outstanding footballer generally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Proper footballer this lad. A baller. Just praying he's over the injury and can keep fit. If so he looks headed to the very top of the game. I know he's right-footed and that's not great for balance but he is a level above as a footballer compared to Burn. We lose in the air but Livra is solid in that department. We lose that left footed balance in angles. But Tino is a level maybe two above as a footballer and defender.

Smal Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Think Eddie has really worked with him the last couple of weeks to get him to do the Burn role properly. Positionally it's a key part of our defensive shape and build up and we really missed it against Bournemouth. completed 43 out of 44 passes too. The only thing missing is that it's harder for him to pass to Gordon than it is for Burn because he's right footed and doesn't have that angle. Passing to Bruno instead isn't a bad alternative though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Was our most important summer signing by a distance, both for the short term and long term. he’s pretty much faultless defensively and going forward he offers something completely different from Trippier and the rest of our defence (some similarities to Schar going forward in style though not area of the pitch). He’s probably the player that most excites me in terms of what he’ll contribute to us in the next few years, alongside Isak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That graphic doesn’t lie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 He's not even THAT much weaker than Burn in the air, especially when modern strikers/wingers aren't exactly big lads, like they used to be. I honestly think he could have played CB in Lascelles position and still have performed to a high level. He's that good. Our right and left back roles are slightly different as we like to weight our play down the right. For him to step into left back and be as disciplined as he was, is incredible really. Can't say I've been this excited about a young player in a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Wasn't sure it was the right move putting him LB over Trippier given their experiences but he was class. Solid at the back, still contributed moving forward. He could be the player we wished Santon could have been if he wanted as an option over that side. Think he deserves the shirt even when everyone else is fit now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
