Can you imagine all the negative press if we had sold him though. It would've been non stop selling club comments for months.
Probably but in the absence of our owners all of a sudden chucking a load of cash on players we need to ignore the press and trade players in the best interest of the squad. Dare I say it a little bit like Liverpool did with Coutinho.

Suppose time will tell...seeing as how he's young, English and getting to play at Palace regularly means I'm sure he'd be interested in coming to us in January and that DL would pay the money for him...

Add £10m for a good performance against Chelsea.

This is why I really dislike Trippier



He left Foyth in a 2V1 situation

Plus the one against City when he blames Hugo and there’s many other ones but can’t find them (not bothered to search them up)
Almost every time after he makes a mistake he tries to blame someone else

Impressed with Wan-Bissaka from Palace. Quick, good recovery and drives forward. Far better prospect than Trippier

He looks like a real prospect, but he's looked a bit raw defensively on the few times I've seen him. If we're going to sign a new RB I'd prefer someone who was a bit further along their development, especially as we already have a good prospect in KWP.

I see what you’re saying and at the moment Trippier is making some bad decisions but I don’t think he’s usually this bad so believe he’ll come out of this bad form soon enough and, like I said above, the guy is still delivering in the final third even when playing poorly (as we saw yesterday) can KWP step in and fill that void if we binned Trippier? I’m not so sure.

Don’t get me wrong, I think KWP deserves more chances (though you have to wonder how he’s performing in training if he can’t get a sniff ahead of Trips and Serge) but you’d think reading some comments on here that he’s an automatic upgrade which is being based on absolutely nothing.
We cant wait for Trippier to come out of it and continue to play him just for him to be targeted by opposition as he is a clear weak link in our team. He hasnt had a good game for us since May. Played well in the WC so his last good game was in July. But it is now November and he continues to get worse every game while blaming others for his continuous fuck ups. Maybe if he’d take responsibility even once it would be different but he doesnt. Always someone else’s fault when he massively fucks up.

Maybe he already called not wanting the ball, maybe he was raging because it obviously put us under pressure and exposed us. Winks gave it away not Trippier to be fair...but again, apportioning individual blame in a team sport. Maybe Poch has asked him to be more vocal.

If none of this suits your agenda, feel free to tear into him for the nth consecutive page...as I'm sure a lot of you will.

But for now, Trippier is the only good alternative we got. KWP is nowhere near a starting lineup and Aurier seem to bottle it each time he's given a chance. If there are one or two names I hope is on the team sheet before a game, it's Trippier (and Jan)

Please get off Trippier’s ass
Yes Winks made a wrong pass but stuff like this happen, but what shouldn’t happen is Trippier blaming Winks instead of running back and helping Foyth, he does this all the time
He’s always exposed defensively

How is someone who makes mistakes almost every game the only alternative we got??? KWP is yet to be given a real chance and every time he has played he looks much more balanced than Trippier and Aurier has been good this season whenever he’s played, maybe you should stop think that Aurier makes idiotic mistakes every game because he doesn’t, Trippier almost do that

Trippier decided to lace into Winks instead of actually doing his own job and thereby hanging Foyth out to dry again.

Can you not read? I've even listed some possible reasons why he's so raging...how long exactly does he have to react and run back to make any kind of difference in that clip? I mean he is far from lightning quick after all...we all know he's not.

He knows he's not too...Maybe that's why he's so irate with Winks.

He’s raging instead of doing his own fucking job and left Foyth to dry. That is the problem!

He stands there and has a moan at a teammate while his man sprints up the line, leaving Foyth in a 2-v-1. If you're actually defending that then I'm not sure there's anything he could possibly do that you'd agree is worthy of criticism.

Lol. Aurier or KWP would have fared far better given the same situation?

Winks gave the ball away, which put us under pressure, yet because Trippier is pissed off and lets him know as they are breaking...Trippier is the villain here?

Even if he hadn't let him know and got turned immediately, I'm not sure he's catching that breaking player, who I suspect isn't the man he's due to be picking up anyway.

(Against Wolves, at home, who have given lots of teams problems btw)

Carry on.

Nobody's saying that it wasn't a bad pass from Winks, what we're saying is that Trippier switching off and allowing his man a free run because he chose to throw a strop while the ball was in play is ridiculous.

And to answer your question, yes, I'd very much hope that both KWP and Aurier would carry on playing should they find themselves in the situation that a midfielder has had the audacity to make a poor pass.

Think it's deliciously ironic that you are all pointing the finger at the guy who didn't give the ball away...because of finger pointing.

Youre picking on an isolated incident. He does this a fair bit, hell he did it last week against Man City with Hugo (who did jack shit wrong)

Also the real issue is that teams target him and he is unable to handle that which in turn compromises our defence.
