His individual errors came before we as fans knew how terrible we really are as a whole. He was an easy scapegoat.

A bit weak of Poch not to give him a yes or a no in regards to future plans. Nobody likes to live in limbo. Perhaps there is something to what Trips was referring to when he said there is unrest behind the scenes.

I'm really glad he is tearing it up over there. As I think are most fans.

Ergo selling him was a mistake

Yeah, the mistake was not finally signing a good and solid right-back; obviously should've done that a long time ago and it has been costing us for years now.. I mean look at Trippier, Aurier, KWP etc... Even dogshite midfielder Sissoko and the centre-backs Foyth and Davinson have played there.

Why does everyone keep bringing up VVD?
Because you thought he was good for one season in his entire ten year career?

Congrats to everyone who saw a handful of Liverpool games and decided he’s Maldini.

And answer honestly, has Trippier cost us more goals than Lloris.....off the top of my head, I can’t think of 6 absolute howlers and I know there’s probably about ten.
Two were this very season. The list is endless...

How many mistakes could be attributed to Jan and Toby down the years....or Rose? Or Walker both here and at City.

It’s a myth that Trippier was the problem.

Can’t you see we are ten times worse than we EVER were with him in the team?

Trippier was absolutely dogshite for us last season, one of the worst full-backs in the league and not even 20 percent of the player Pereira was at fucking Leicester(!), and of course that is a huge problem for any club with ambition, the worrying thing is that we didn't sign a proper right-back.

And he admitted it.
Maybe you think World Cup fatigue and injuries only counted for Eriksen Kane and Dele? Like everyone else does.

And maybe you think being out for 45 days with a groin and then ankle injury should have no effect on his form, but Eriksen missing two weeks with a belly ache and Dele breaking his hand was an eternal excuse for being fucking shit.

Oh well.....have you asked yourself whether Lloris cost us more goals yet?
Or don’t you want to go there?

Maybe if he had ever shown that he was a quality full-back for us and I can appreciate the odd decent cross and an average player who is at least trying hard, but defensively he has always been a Championship player and that's simply not good enough for us, we should have bought a good right-back the minute we sold Walker in 2017, it has been a huge worry ever since.

So we qualified for the CL for three straight seasons despite the RB?

And now the whole squad “needs replacing” because we are totally shit and will not make top 4, despite the RB leaving?

But our problems were the RB?

You can get decent or even great results with one or even multiple mediocre players in the team, Leicester won the league with Danny Simpson (now playing for Huddersfield) at right-back; we reached the CL final with a dogshite full-back like Trippier, doesn't mean that you don't need to replace them if you have any serious ambition.

Three seasons of CL football with a Champo dog shit RB?
Sounds like he was doing a good job....why replace him? oh no that’s right we didn’t replace him did we.

Ambitions? Hahahahaha
What’s our serious ambition? To try and beat Watford who haven’t won a game, then not concede ten at Anfield?

I think Trippiers ambitions are a tad higher than than ours right now.

Yes bizarrely he loves our CBs all four apparently are better than VVD other than that he seems to hate everything about spurs including the manager, our best players, going to games, the fans you name it, and he'll tell you over and over and over. It really is the oddest thing. Thank fuck he doesn't sit near me.

Oh I dunno. I hate spurs too sometimes but I try not to let it consume me.

And I'm sure like most spurs fans he is a good laugh in person. One of the things I love about meeting random spurs fans is the ability to laugh at ourselves. Something dippers and scumcunts will never be able to do.

Another one who thinks Dele, Eriksen and Poch is the club.

Cunts who want a new squad and chairman preaching about hating everything

After a debate where I was defending one of our ex players who someone else was calling him (and Sissoko, Foyth and Sanchez) dogshit

Hahahahaha

Would you say Trippier was better than Danny Simpson?
Would you say that a serious ambition would be for us to win the league?
Can you see where I’m going with this?

If you can find one post where I've said that I'll give a million quid to a charity of your choice.. look forward to the proof....

You just moan about everything Sammy have a day off it's fucking boring, get behind the club, go to a game even you never know you might actually enjoy yourself.

Or he was selected as the best player at right back despite carrying an injury and played through it for the team...the same situation was aimed at Ndombele by Pochettino recently tbh.

You think Aurier or KWP would have worked out better last season?

I don't...and would easily prefer the same slightly injured Tripps in the side right now based on what we've seen tbh.

Everyone knew he was playing through low level injury for most of last season. It was public knowledge. I often defended him last season, saying that there were limits to how harshly he could be judged when he was some unknown percentage below 100% fit.

I don't know where this idea of deception has come from.
