Think he has been a solid defender but he is now adapting his game to a loss of pace, hence the backing off the winger, coming inside more. He is not getting forward as much as he used to either. What he does bring is a great mentality, which was essential in the semifinal and also in the final. He is a real leader.

Livramento is essentially ready to replace him full time (he had an excellent game on the left at the weekend) skills-wise but he doesn't yet have the mentality yet to dominate that right side.

I would rate Debuchy higher than Trippier. Thought he was a class right-back.

Livarmento will be top of this list if he stays 5/6 years and wins a few more pots.

So you could say he is already the best RB we've seen at the club - hasn't been yet but will be.

Using that reasoning you could also say that Longstaff could be the best midfielder then.

Trips has been great for us, leading from the front. We had him at the end of a career that saw him win the Spanish la liga with Atletico and one of only 3 English men ever to score a goal in a World Cup Semi Final.
Yes he’s lost a bit of pace and made a couple of mistakes but his crossing and corner kicks in the Final were immense, putting it on BDB’s head every time.
He may not be the best ever but he is certainly up there with them, he will probably move on in the summer but he goes with my respect!
 
Oh yeah!!! Don’t drink wine on a school night kids. I almost threw Pistone in.

To be fair I’ve posted before about how in the context of a lot of things he’s one of the most important signings we’ve ever made. Last year or so has had his struggles, not least because of his personal life, but I would agree that he’s the best RB we’ve had. Sorry if the facetiousness didn’t work.
Pistons did play left back in the Cup Final v Arsenal, Dalglish dropped Stevie Watson and played Pistone at RB, after about 15 mins Pires ran straight past him and stuck it in the net!
 
Trippier had one good season. The off field things such as being a catalyst for other signings etc has no bearing on him being our best ever right back.

Obviously I can't go back as far as a few others on here but personally think all our better right backs have been of the same quality for us at varying points of their time with us. The only difference is how long they kept this quality up for. And even that's pretty much all the same except Barton.


Boooooo.

You always have issues down the wings....
 
Are we all forgetting Perchinho?

No but seriously, Tripps has been an amazing leader and a catalyst for our initial transfers and change in form after the takeover. Legend status.

But can he be compared to the likes of David Craig and Irving Nattrass as best ever? Very hard to say, different football eras. I'll have to default to the knowledge of Trev and Hung on that one.

I wasn't able to account for anyone pre-1990 as the question was about who we have seen in the shirt so Nattrass and Craig aren't in the equation for me.

Overall impact as a signing, a leader, a statement of intent and then to put in an excellent performance in the final. It's a low bar but best in the past 35 years? Yes.
 
Well Livramento is obviously better, hence why he displaced Tripps ok the team.

Tripps has done a great job with us, especially in the season when we finished 4th....his lowest point was giving the ball away Vs Chelsea resulting in us being knocked out the cup last season, but he'll be leaving in a spectacular way this season being a major part of our first proper trophy win in 70 years. A huge high towards the end of his career.

Prime tripps > Tino.

Nah, Tripps was only really very good for one season, ie 2022-23. He was good when he first arrived but got injured very quickly, 2023-24 was disappointing for him, and Livramento has completely taken him out of the team now.

Tripps was great at corners and free kicks, but Livramento offers far more in terms of pace, work rate and attacking.

Plus we've only seen the end of Tripp's career, Livramento has gone from strength to strength and is still only 22, has cemented has place in the team and got into the England squad. Tripps has been a very good servant for us, and the league cup win is awesome for him towards the end of his career, but Tino is going to offer more.

Prime Tripps = Captain of best defence in league and was also one of the top creative players that season.

most of 23/24 he was off form and still got an almost 1/2 attacking return to start ratio.

Prime tripps was our best player, if only for 1.5 years or so. But he was already in his 30's so aging.

Tino is no where near the attacking threat Tripps was. Defensively is debatable.
