I love the fact his sleeve looks like it was done in a gulag
With Pep playing inverted fullbacks, trippier would have been a better fit.
Trip isn't the athlete Walker is but as we know is a far better crosser and has the ability to pick a nice through ball.
Be hilarious if he nabs Walkers England spot
50m. First choice innit.
Just kidding. I genuinely believe that Walker went mainly because Poch sanctioned it, as well as the fee. How much would we get for Trips? I don't know really. He hasn't played that much, so would be hard to inflate his fee.
Well, before he signed that new deal anyway.
what?
Was a joke.
"I'll add no commentary as I make people angry"
"Fuck up cunt" implying anger.
I have no idea but i reckon the end of level boss must be tough as hell!
Lets just say him and Walker are massively different players (see
Totti
post with Walkers profile) . With Tripps we will play very differently from how we normally do (by normal I mean with Walker). Tripps does a lot of what Dier and both our CB's already do, plays an early ball into the box. It means we play deeper because of it. It means maybe we will not see the CB's split so much (no need for Toby to do it, as Tripps is there), a knock on effect is Dier doesn't drop into CB position. It means we will have little overload situations on his side of the pitch. Also Dele and Kane will have to do more running to get into those positions early enough, another knock on might be that because this ball whilst effective, it is also easier to defend against, meaning we might have two players (Kane, Dele) out of position and unable to counter-press their defence (a feature of our game). Having said that, maybe this early ball will suit the bigger pitch at Wembley, I honestly can't work out if it's good or bad. Just hope Dele and Kane have got the lungs and legs to do it for 90 mins???? All this doesn't matter as much if we play 3 at the back, as Tripps is automatically pushed up higher up the pitch and we are compressing the space, dominating the opo. It does mean he still can't take on his opponent but we can play him in by putting a ball behind the defence for him to run onto and then cross. This for sure is better at Wembley as there is more space.
In short - 4 at the back with Tripps I see massive issues and will effect the whole balance of the team. 3 at the back and it's no where near as much an issue and at Wembley may actually be better than having Walker?? (I would be much, much happier if we got in an FB that has the same attributes as Walker had (and Rose has).
That's kind of the debate. He does some things very well, and that stands out in the numbers and the eye test. Other stuff... not so much.
Haha Poch sent Tripps this pic of his son staring adoringly at him......
That haircut is even scarier up close.
Maybe it's streamlined to make him faster?
