Kieran Trippier

BrainOfLevy said:
Yeah...it's pretty rare for Poch to clearly mark out a single player like this, he must know the team agrees and he will also know it's a position we are well stocked in with KWP pushing alongside Aurier.

Something is going on with Trippier...the first attempted nutmeg was silly but the second goal, the lazy swing of the leg and leaving Foyth 2v1...really bad. He needs to get his head in the game. It's almost like the Leicester syndrome where you reach the heights you never thought you'd get to and its hard to then keep going and to follow up that ridiculous achievement. Maybe getting to the semi finals and scoring that goal against Croatia in particular wasn't the best thing that could have happened to him.

Maybe the hype has gone to his head - not that he is a bad guy and can't be redeemed, just that he needs to come back down to earth and realise what got him there in the first place. He also has this annoying habit of blaming other players when he has clearly made a mistake. It's one thing to give your teammates a rollocking to make sure everyone keeps their standards up, but I wonder if he is almost veering into Alexis Sanchez territory by being viewed as a bit of a prat when he's clearly made his own mistakes.

The Emirates Marketing Project error was still fresh too which adds to the frustration.

To be fair he’s worked really hard to become first choice and get in the England first team, he’ll probably get a little rest now and the test of his character will be whether he knuckles down and ups his defensive focus or angle for a move based on his world cup stock.

KWP time I reckon. We know he's solid.

Except against West Ham last week.

I'm surprised at the level of anger directed at Trippier.
He's supposedly "the pro's pro" i.e. mature, trains hard, takes it seriously.
Against Spam he helped assist the first goal, he assisted the second goal, he was heavily involved in their 2 goals but did not give away the penalties.

Didn't see that game but on Sky Sports it shows him at left back. Not right to judge a young player on their wrong side. Kyle Naughton was a decent right back but he very rarely played there, he was always playing left back and hence everyone thought he was a bit brick. Think we sent his career a bit off the rails to be honest. He would have done better moving earlier.

KWP played right back against Spam and Aurier played left back. Antonio bullied him physically (illegally a couple for items imo and maybe a couple of other players on the night) and it did stand out but he wasn’t awful in terms of his decision making. Naughton might be a decent comparison actually, I think he was initially higher rated than Walker and is still a better technical but just doesn’t have the physical tools that can get you out of trouble in one on ones / when you are slightly out of position / have made a mistake. kWP could do with growing a bit but maybe a season long loan will also help as he’s not going to experience coming up against a brute like Antonio in training.

Basically all the money from sales was promised to Poch (itk)...and considering who was going (ie some high value players + squad fillers/failures) was a pretty sum of money (circa £170m). As I have said before on paper it all looks good, to execute is a miriad of conversations, negotiation s and transactions. No buttons saying sell and buy.

Levy did nothing to block any of this and if he was blocking by overvaluing one of our players or thinking an incoming target was to expensive it was with the full agreement and understanding of Poch. If there was any falling out over any of it we'd certainly know about it.

Naturally as a professional coach with the urge to press on it is not surprising that you show some signs of frustration as your basically left with the same old same old from last season.

Let's not forget though that Levy (itk) gave Poch carte blanche to do as he wanted with the squad (he c.ould of sold Kane if he wanted), that's a massively high level of trust from the chairman, and why wouldn't you trust Poch, he as earned it. Poch is also in full realisation that that level of control is a rarity as a coach/manger, which hopefully filters into his grass is greener thoughts.

On the money. We are getting our water from the same well [emoji6]

The wage demands of some potential outgoers last season cannot be over-estimated as major factors. As for the re-energizing, he wanted to do that since last January as I heard it and had earmarked areas to target...

Remember when there were rumours that Trippier and Toby were left out of the Inter away squad because they'd come to blows after the Liverpool game?

Could it be Toby thought Trippier played as brick as he did vs Wolves and smacked him because of it?:D

I seem to recall Liverpool took the tinkle down the right?
 
Imo against Wolves, Trippier allowed his Emirates Marketing Project error to get to him, to the extent he felt the need to show he CAN be clever. Except of course it backfired big time.

How he must dread playing against City, its always their tricky, pacy attackers that tear him apart the most.They know exactly how to play upon his biggest weakness.

But when things have gone wrong for Trips in the past he has shown great resilience and application so he will no doubt come back stronger from this. So long as he never has to play against City again!

Doubt KWP is yet ready to step up but the word is Serge Aurier will be back for tonight's CL game vs PSV.
 
He will never be a very good defender I'm afraid. Came into the lime light when attacking backs were in vogue, but is being found out now. I expect more mistakes from him. Good going forward though, so depending on who we play could be an asset or a liability.

Tipps has become the ninth Spurs player who played in the World Cup to succumb to a muscle injury this season. Coinky-dink? Methinks not.
 
I was actually pleased with Aurier saturday, I thought he did well.

Up until then Trippier wasnt really impressing, though it was early so probably not fair to judge.

Im fairly convinced at this point he is a wing back more than a full back. When we are playing fodder and can reasonably expect to dominate, his forward play is welcome. Against anyone likely to come up against us more, not for me.

He’s proved this season that my suspicions were correct. He can’t defend. He’s great at attacking play, and as you said is a very good wingback, but his defending has been awful this season. Made big mistake against City for their goal, and then tried to be too clever against Wolves which cost us a goal. He would be a better right midfielder than defender. I’d much rather play Aurier against Chelsea. But fear that whoever plays for us will have a very hard time up against Hazard.
 
It was great to have him as an attacking threat. But why Poch left him on for so long baffles me. Especially on that shlte pitch.

I don’t think anyone is claiming he’s isn’t a good solid pro - he wouldn’t still be at Spurs.

Do the assists make up for the errors he’s made this season?

He’s been poor this season, he’s got away with a few as well - V Brighton/Liverpool

Just would have like Serge to be given a run.

Poch said he's got a pelvic injury from the Croatia semi final, which requires ongoing management. I'm getting to the point where I prefer seeing Trippier play league games and Aurier play Champions League/Europa/Cup games. Don't know why but that rules seems to suit their respective games.

I'd change that to league games against teams ranked in the table 7th or lower. He struggles against anyone half decent and/or with pace.
