We need to talk about Trippier

What is going on with him at the moment?

Surely something is happening behind closed doors.

 

He's an old thoroughbred that's been ridden into the ground.

 

Yeah next season he's gonna need to be rotated. At 33/34 you can only be expected to play 1 game a week.

 

Think most saw this coming early on when Livramento couldn't get a look in

 

Iivramento needs to start and I guess we'll get Burn at left back because Howe doesn't want to buy Hall.

I have no doubt the 30 million is required to sign another plodder like Phillip's or mctomminay in January.

 

And I was lambasted by several on here for suggesting it

 

I’ve been told Phillips is a done deal. Would complement Bruno quite well.

 

He's 33 and the team management has saw him play every single game. He's on pitch captain and responsible for all set pieces.

This has resulted in him being run into the ground, he's aged years this season.

 

He's an upgrade on longstaff tbh but I really would like to see them replacing the underbelly with good sharp and thirsty young players.

 

Welcome to the club.

 

Isn't Philips more CDM? Like Bruno? And Tonali?

Not sure what the thinking is there.

 

I’m presuming someone to do the defensive work and allow Bruno more freedom

 

He can pass the ball about well and can play a part in attack. He's not just a DM.

 

We don’t need a cm, we need a right sided forward to demote almiron to the chronicles of history. He’s doing my ****ing tits right in with his **** right foot. There 100 year old men with flaccid cocks that work better than this ****s right foot

 

And all he had to do yesterday was take it to the corner instead of having that ridiculous shot, ffs.

For the entire first XI, we need - in order - RW, LB, CF, RCB, GK.

We have zero need for a RB, LCB or CM.

RW - Almiron/Murphy is just awful
LB - Hall's not trusted, not getting bought and BDB is a great option, not a PL starter
CF - Isak/Wilson aren't reliable and Wilson's 32/33 soon
RCB - we have to improve on Schar
GK - at a push need better than Pope.

Signing Philips will boil my piss almost as much as having to watch Almiron again on Boxing Day. What do we then do with Tonali in September? And this 'free up Bruno' - that was what we thought Tonali would do, only for Tonali to be out of position/constanty subbed off for Longstaff and Bruno playing every minute.

 

I hope we sign Phillips just for another meltdown

 

I've had it confirmed. His wife has had a miscarriage. That's why he left England duty and why he has been off.

Awful.

 

No wonder he looks like ****
