KaKa Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Showed up Trippier tonight. Absolutely love him on his natural right side. Looked devastating going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Magpie Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 It has to be said, even if several forum stalwarts have apoplexy, it might be time for Tripps to take a back seat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livra gets on the pitch every game. Hall does not. I would like to see what he’s like at CM at some point. He’s got the physicality for it and he’s a good footballer.

Thinking that the same might be the case for Hall and that they are both Ashworth signings maybe. Not suggesting Hall is anywhere as good as Livra. But him getting zero minutes in this team does imply that he is pretty, pretty shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't assume he's shit. But the severe lack of minutes is worrisome. The best-case scenario is that Howe doesn't want to trigger the obligation. Worst case is that Howe now think he's shit but we are obligated to sign him anyway. Something has definitely gone further awry. Howe did trust him to start away at Dortmund and another league game.... maybe not the best introductory into a team mind. Since then it's been the back of the bench.

Danh1 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) Looked great when he came on. On the bench Saturday until we’re behind no doubt. Bonkers. Edited February 28 by Danh1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I actually thought Tino looked great driving forward but was a little lapse in his defensive responsibilities at times. Thought Trippier showed better positional discipline. Tino may have been sent out with a remit of ‘bomb forward’ though…. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think we are trying to wriggle out of the option to buy clause for Hall, I can´t understand anything else other than that for his absence. It doesn´t seem like great business now paying 30 million for an unproven kid when PSR/FFP is so tight and we will need quite a revamp in the summer...

Sibierski Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Being able to dribble with the ball at pace, from deep, is such a key asset. Just breaks the lines, commits players and opens up space. Yes he’ll lose some, buts it’s no different to the high risk low percentage passes. Just we need to be better in shape to cover when he goes because of the lack of recovery pace in our back line. Probably the only like for like change in a position we’ve got, where our style of play changes and importantly forcing opposition needing to adapt.

Sibierski Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) Just spitballing long term, but all top sides essentially play a 3-2 shape defensively. Having Tino starting means we couldn’t do that, but that’s where we could be different and you have the LB basically be a LCB, faster RCB, then two CMs for the shape. So in attack when Tino goes on a run, it’s like this. RCB - Botman - LB Tonali - Bruno Tino - IF - Willock - Gordon Isak Out of possesion, the IF can be wide, Tino goes on a dribble, they can go inside to receive or outside. Willock runs into box to support Isak, Gordon on opposite wing providing width, like Grealish does for Man City. In a bit of a gloomy season, but you can see the potential the squad could have moving forward, and one that’s exciting to watch. Edit: And this is where the Hall situation comes into it. I rate him highly, but that set up wouldn’t fit him, so it’s £30m for back up, rarely used. So depending on Howe sees the evolution of the side, could be playing a big part in reluctance to use him and potentially activating the deal, when that could be spent elsewhere.

Rafalove Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Honestly think he could go on to be the best right back in the world some day. At the very least world class. The fact he’s already had a big injury worries me a bit, but assuming he avoids them, his future is huge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 He's a bit like Gutierrez in that he doesn't actually look that good of a dribbler, but still carries the ball past players really well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Love him. Great surge forward into space and then the directness and confidence to take it on himself. Almost more noticeable though was his acceleration and tenacity to win back those loose balls. Something we really lack I feel with Burn and Trippier due to their age and speed.

nufc123 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I often think he should just continue with his runs, but he usually stops and pass back to someone. Just run Livra! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
