Player Watch: Kieran Trippier

[Paolo10]

Fair play to you, I thought you just strongly wanted to defend a player but clearly you're just enjoying some top class trolling, I'm genuinely impressed.

Trippier was clearly getting to the ball first with a player pressuring, Hugo had no need to come for the ball in the manner he did.

 

[JCRD]

It was a great finish though... Goading the keeper out like that before slipping it in

There should be three possible calls from Lloris in this situation IMO, "KEEPER'S" (I'm coming to get it), "AWAY" (KT to get rid) or something demanding the ball (E.g. "FEET")...all should be at a high level of decibels and be clear.


Tripps was about the only player aside from Toby who actually would clear the ball last night, he could have easily dealt with that situation and tbh the only reason I believe he wouldn't is if he got some kind of call from Hugo.

There's blame on both players, but the keeper should be the one taking control. If he called to leave it, it was a bad call and an unnecessary 50/50 with 3 players potentially coming together.

Again, lots of vitriol about it when we were already beaten, a bit like when he missed a penalty.

Even with the OG, he was far from the worst player on the pitch.

I can't believe I'm taking the bait but I'll bite.

He wasn't the worst player on the pitch for us last night. Eriksen probably was. He's been awful lately. Trippier did make the biggest mistake though.

What's also true is that Trippier is by far the worst player in our usual starting 11. If he's not, I'd like you to name who you think that is.

Yes, he's pretty ineffectual. What I don't understand about his own goal was that he had no trouble at all in hitting the opposing defenders last night, but failed to hit his own 'keeper when required!

That is in no way an excuse for his failure to push it towards Lloris so he could deal with it.

If Lloris called to leave it (which I don't believe he did), why didn't Trippier leave it? Both of them share the blame, but Trippier must take the lion's portion of it.

 

[hughy]

So, so easy to blame Trippier, but the truth is they're both to blame. In my opinion it's more Lloris's fault than Trippier's.

Why Trippier put so much pace on the pass I'll never know. But no excuse for Lloris not taking control of the situation considering he's 1. The goalkeeper, 2. The captain, and 3. Facing the field of play.

He should be either shouting at Trippier to leave it so he can collect, or staying put on his line. He did neither and certainly didn't help idiot 2 in any way, shape or form.

 

[Houdini]

I blame Jenas.


Anyway I'm over it now, onwards towards Arsenal....and let's not allow last night's fiasco to muddy or cloud the utmost importance of us smashing them on the rebound this Saturday.
Fuck Trippier & Lloris and who ever else is being burned at the stake...and fuck Chelsea.

 

[allpaths]

you consistently put a painful average player in bad spots, you get what you deserve. He's a good back up. Both Hugo and him deserve shared blame, but it's no coincidence that he was the defender on the wrong end of the backpass.

 

[degoose]

amazing people not blaming trippier, he passed the ball back with plenty of time available, at pace at the goal. You are taught in football don't pass back directly to the goal mouth area but to the side. Now obviously sometimes you might be rushed and have no time but you should always check where the keeper is , Trips though had tons of time. It's another mistake this season he has made that has lead to a goal and his attacking output has been very poor. I rarely and trust me rarely attack a player but he has been terrible this season and should be dropped behind aurier and KWP.

 

[John48]

They tell you play back passes away from the goal, so Trippier got it completely wrong.

 

[Shadydan]

It was both their fault.

 

[phillipjpalmer]

I don't think he is a bad player, just a bad fit for our tactics.
I think he would excel if he had a genuine wide player infront of him, he is better coming onto the ball or overlapping, when he is a wingback or playing in a 4 with our system to often he gets stood up by the defender and doesn't have the pace or trick to attack the defender so plays sideways and backward balls.
Same with Davies really.
Trent Alexander at liverpool is a prime example of the type of player we need, pacey, direct with good delivery. I havent checked the stats, but i bet he has laid on a few assists this season

He got 3 alone last night.

Wish we had a RB who could get 3 assists in one match

 

[Paolo10]

If Hugo didn't call, it would have been easy to clear.

The ball was ending up outside the box, with an attacker pressing and Trippier clearly getting to the ball first. The keeper should never have came and if he didn't there's no problem.

Hugo is responsible, all very well saying play it away from goal etc., but with Willian to the left side of Trippier and Lloris shitting bricks if you pass to his right foot, it's a little different. Also the matter of a split second or so for all this.

 

[Lou3000]

Trippier isn't the right player for this club. When he's at his absolute best, he's sending crosses into Moura, Son, Eriksen, and Kane. Other than Kane, who is often double marked, the others have zero chance to get onto the end of an already low percentage cross. If we want to play crosses into the box, sign Fellaini and hire Mourinho.

Also, when Trippier plays, we have to task one of our midfielders with covering him because he's so bad at defending and mistake prone. Even Alonso blew past him and got a cross off.

So you have a defender that can't defend, a wide attacker that can't attack, and a liability who has gifted goals to United and Chelsea this season.

 

[@Bobby__Lucky]

It saddens me, that some of you seem.happy to see him faulter. He was good first half. Didn't do.a.huge amount wrong 2nd until.the goal. There are more problems up front that in defense.

Take away his stupid mistakes. Not mistakes, just the stupid ones. We would be sitting on top of the league. I'm talking directly affecting points. Man city, man utd. Etc.. Etc... Etc..

Take his mistakes, Lloris and Vorm and we are comfortably top of the league. Staggering that Poch keeps picking players who are so individually error prone.

The irony of calling Walker Forrest Gump like he’s a bit dim, while Trippier spends most of the game with Sissoko not only covering his arse but also regularly pointing and showing him where to run when defending

Like I’ve said before. It’s a lazy stereotypical offensive narrative that whole argument against walker. But people were happy to peddle it to justify his sale.
