Mazzy Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 FBref isn't the be all and end all of stats by any means but it gives a good overview of a player's strengths and weaknesses. Botman and Kelly are a little less meaningful because of the fact they've played alot less minutes than the others, so they aren't that accurate particularly. What this does show is that actually Dan Burn would be the best partner for Guehi at this moment in time until Botman is fit. Guehi and Schar would be somewhat lacking in alot of areas defensively, although immense at ball progression and retention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 8 minutes ago, maybe_next_year said: BBC still reporting Anderson to Fulham. I can't see Palace selling both CBs. Honestly wouldn't mind us going in for Anderson. Seems they're moving along with Carlos now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 52 minutes ago, Gawalls said: A - yes, b - no, teams are gonna attack you at some point during a game no master how well or how good you press. Tripps was awful last part of the season as was burn whenever he played left back, shocking is a strong word to be fair though. Such a repeated exaggeration. Trippier had a couple of bad moments as did Burn during games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Watching Palace defend that corner is quite bizarre, do they usually zonal mark at dead balls? As it looked like they didn’t know what they were doing and were new to defending like that. Guehi is the only one who has no momentum going in to his jump, so gets sandwiched between Richards and the Nantes goalscorer. I know friendly games are a chance to practice these things in a real game but that is an attacking teams dream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zonal marking is one of those tacticians dreams that never ever works in practise (sorry Rafa) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t bother replying because it seems you’re only allowed an opinion if it’s in agreement half the time. If it’s repeated then surely that means it’s an opinion held by a few of us.

He didn’t play the last six weeks apart from Man Utd away 15th May and got injured again His last start was Wolves at home 2nd March and we won 3-0. So I’d say you are exaggerating.

LFEE Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 4 minutes ago, Rod said: His last six games then. You are probably correct as I remember a couple of howlers from him in our European adventure. He was carrying an injury. He had a bad game against Everton away and followed it up with a fairly poor game at Spurs. He had a last minute lapse of concentration in the cup against Chelsea. That was it. Same with Burn. He had a couple of tough half’s (Forest at home and another I struggle to recall) and a tough day all round against Luton at home. It’s a myth Trippier & Burn had a bad season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Without wanting to kick the whole Tripps thing off tangent in here but the bust up with the fans at Bournemouth seemed to be a bit of a turning point. Or I could just be misremembering the timings of it unravelling, it was a bleak few months Oct/Nov-Feb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably being too kind to Tripps. I actually think he had a shite half season. I remember being in Lanzarote in early December and he had an absolute nightmare against Dortmund I think, or some other team at that time. I'm in no way having a go at Trippier but honestly he was crap towards the end of the season. He shouldn't have been playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I could just be misremembering the timings of it unravelling, it was a bleak few months Oct/Nov-Feb The fans drunken criticism was aimed at the team not Trippier. He since regretted it and was more just annoyed because his journey down suffered a breakdown and he taxied there (and I believe back!) costing him a fortune. He’s just a young daft lad who drinks on Low Fell. (No I don’t know him at all but my friend does and got the full story) Again more lazy narratives… Without check I know we beat Man Utd and Arsenal and Chelsea alone the same month we lost to Bournemouth as well as getting robbed in PSG.

Ronaldo Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Trippier was brilliantly offensively for the first part of the season especially but defensively I think he’s been on the decline for a while and that’s only going one way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 This might look like I'm piling into Trippier but I honestly thought he was terrible at left back for England at the Euros. Not all his fault though (Southgate). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
