Player Watch: Kieran Trippier

[Paolo10]

Maybe the Belgian lads are too quiet...maybe Poch has asked him to be vocal, again, we don't know.

Someone needs to tell him on the pitch, maybe Foyth reacts better to it. I used to manage a kid that if you gave him some shit and he got the hump up it made him play far better.

Some need the carrot, some the stick.

Maybe he was pissed off because Foyth created an incident that would look like his fault and a load of the fanbase would get on his back even more?

I linked the video, I mean ultimately we can judge it differently but Im not a fan of players chewing other players out especially when theyre more senior, I agree with you that theres always going to be a certain amount of it which is healthy, hell I was guilty of it when I played at sunday league level but theres been a few incidents where Ive not been happy with.

That trippier incident on Foyth, a few weeks later aurier vs arsenal stupidly gave away a freekick (which led to the vert pen) and he tried to blame Foyth somehow when again he needed his senior teammate and the time when Son got chewed out by Lamela and Eriksen for not passing when dele still scored yet they still felt the need to have a moan at son and I felt sonnys confidence was dented for a while after that. Its mostly the senior players ripping Foyth a new one when in my eyes they themselves fucked up and for me its telling that Ive not seen Alder or Vert do that to Sanchez and Foyth.

Ok, i am not saying that Trippier was necessarily right or wrong to be pointing at Foyth or criticising him in that situation. I'm saying we can't know for sure.

But as you've pointed out there are other examples of senior players publicly criticising their team mates in recent games. Yet as far as i can see Trippier is the only one getting a lot of criticism on here for doing this.

This seems unfair to me, when it is something you see multiple players from different teams doing in lots of games. The assumption the Trippier is always being a prick, or shifting blame, when he does this seems quite biased to me. As we have no way of knowing if this is true or not.

Hahaha. So this Trippier love in is a troll then. Well done. You got SC.

Pointing is just bad and disgusting, it just chips at the confidence of younger players. The people I know who've pointed and blamed others in football are bullies and use it to hide their own mistakes; until one day there's a situation where there is no one to blame and they will hold their hand up sheepishly but no one will have a go at them. It's the sort of thing Terry would do when he was in the wrong but tried to palm it off unto others.

 

[Paolo10]

So you don't know who actually makes the mistake for sure, but whoever points is a bully?

Lol.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Are you lunatics actually arguing over an incident which took place almost two months ago?

Re Trippier, he’s not a top class player but he’s also not a bad player, he’s somewhere in between and until this season he had more good matches than bad. It just so happens that his form has dipped this season, but the exaggeration about it is alarming. He’s done enough for us previously for us to say ‘give someone else a go now but Trippier will more likely than not come good again in the future’.

 

[Paolo10]

This whole finger pointing nonsense has been part of a load of vitriol and individual blame being apportioned in Trippier's direction, that incident was given as a particularly bad case of such horrid behaviour and it kind of looks like it wasn't all about KT at all.

 

[Gassin's finest]

Kieran Trippier is a very good right sided midfielder...

... unfortunately not a full back.

If he had a bit more trickery he would have made a very decent old fashioned winger.

Honestly, the Beckham comparisons after the WC weren't far off. He has the work rate, the technique, and isn't afraid to deliver the early ball. That's all Beckham was, but he was very good at it. I think playing at full back is to stunt Trippier's true potential.

I think Poch has taken that into his account with his set up especially with how Sissoko plays as he's always in that RB area filling in so Trippier can go forward and then Eriksen drops that little bit deeper.

He should be nowhere a starting position at RB for a top6 side in the prem. Such a liability all season.
Atleast Lloris has stepped up, Trippier hasn't.

Is that you, 'Bazza'?

Thread has turned corny, cringing at the back and fourth in here.

Some people wouldn't know a footballer if one rammed a competition grade courgette up their arse and cockslapped them senseless. Others are lemmings and follow the herd, they read something, subscribe to it and it's like a religion forever, even after the scapegoat leaves the club. I'm in the cockslapped camp but what confuses me, is that Joe Bloggs, a Macdonalds technician from Cheam on the one hand thinks our manager is the best manager we've ever had, but gives him a free pass for picking someone they see as 'useless'.

Surely, if you're in the Trippier is shit camp you should be giving the manager stick or have not enough people to get the bandwagon rolling subscribed yet for you to feel safe going there? I mean, there's criticism and then there's the, persistent "I've made my mind up and that's that" type stuff that goes waaaaaay over the top. He's nowhere near as bad as that IMO but once you're in the club eh?

Pochettino obviously looks at Trippier and weighs up his strengths and weaknesses before picking him. He's aware of his limitations and accepts them for what he might see as the positives and when he needs replacing, he'll do it. And lets face it, on balance, if he was anywhere as near as bad a player as some people are making out, we wouldn't be having the season we're having. As usual, the scapegoating takes on such a life of its own that whoever it is we bestow the honour of scapegoat on becomes a much worse player than he actually is.

Sissoko. Ooops.

Anyway, like I said, I wouldn't know, the cockslapping has obviously knocked any sense out of me. What's your excuse?

The fact that you thought Lloris needed to 'step-up' says it all.

KT has made a couple of mistakes this season. That happens. Poch has confidence in him and continues to pick him, so he must be doing something right!
People are championing KWP to be playing ahead of Tripp, i'm guessing his falling over and gifting Dembele a goal was forgiven instantly?!?

I'm not a fan of digging out any of our players really though...

I think there are plenty of us who criticize Poch for picking him. Trippier had a direct fuck up that caused a goal in 3 games in the league that we lost by 1. ManU, City & Liverpool. We're tied with Liverpool & Man City for top of the league if it weren't for those mistakes.

And for the record I've been on the he's not very good for quite a while and was even arguing this during the world cup. No bandwagon for me.

edit: we would actually be leading the league by a point if we win on Saturday in that scenario.
