Hasn't played right back and most likely wont (ever IMO), so there's probably not a lot of basis for the theoretical change in career for him in the Trippier thread tbh...after a great night in which we got to the Semi fucking Finals of the Chanpions League...and where Trippier set up the goal which ultimately saw us qualify.

The idea of moving Sissoko to right back which will partly solve our right back issues may not be entirely crazy, but the idea of moving Sissoko out of a position which has partly solved our Central midfield issues is comical, what's the point of weakening a 1 position to strengthen another, it's counter-intuitive.


Ah, you're making the age old mistake of applying logic to the discussion.

I thought you were smarter than that.

Wow one match and he's apparantely the answer to our right back problem...doesn't 30 odd matches where he's been brilliant in his natural position count for anything then?

How about we just buy a new RB and keep our POTY in the position he's excelled in...when you start over complicating things like that is the moment you start to lose form.
I mean, in all fairness, Sissoko does play RB and CM for 90’ every game...

He shouldnt have to, though. We need to buy a RB in the summer

The clown who contributed actually quite a lot to us going through a tie over 2 legs that no one had us down as having a chance of winning?

I'm sure Sissoko or KWP would have had Sterling in their back pockets.
I guess you missed him showing Sterling inside for their first goal and not having any idea where he was for their third ?

You are a genuine parody poster, defending one single player who has been utter garbage this entire season.

I’m no fan of Aurier but I’d take him over Trippier every day of the week.

Sissoko has been amazing this season but let’s be honest if we sign the quality of midfielder that we should he won’t get in the team. Hence why I made my suggestion, he doesn’t deserve to be dropped and in my opinion would do a better job at RB than anyone else in our squad. Sure we could spend £50m on AWB or another RB but that is £50m we then don’t have to spend on CM and I’d rather we spent £50m on midfield. It is lateral thinking, the kind of thing you need to do when you have finite resources.

Well, with Trippier playing as many PL games this season, as Aurier has played since 2017, it appears our manager disagrees with you.

So what ? Has Spurs Community been renamed the “we always agree with Poch” forum ?

If we followe your line of reasoning we should never question any decision Poch makes and there should be no difference of opinion st all.

If you want to make a substantive case for Trippier over Aurier this season then go ahead, point to his stupid error at Burnley for example but simply stating their appearance record adds nothing.

For what it’s worth I’m pretty sure that had Aurier been fit Poch would have picked him ahead of Trippier to play in both games against City but that’s just my opinion and we will obviously never know unless we ask Poch.

As I’ve said before I’m no fan of Aurier and would sell him, I think he was an appalling bit of scouting but I still feel more confident with him in the team than Trippier.

Without Trippier’s errors for goals 1 and 3 we wouldn’t have needed Llorent’es goal but that doesn’t fit your narrative so you ignore it. You are so myopic one begins to wonder if you a Spurs fan or a Trippier fan.

But did Trippier really have Sterling in his back pocket?
Sterling scored two goals and had a third correctly disallowed but through no fault of his.

Out of curiosity, how many goals would an attacker need to be considered not to be in the back pocket of his marker?

My opinion is that neither Trippier nor Aurier are good enough to be first choice RB for us if we have higher ambitions than what we have achieved so far in the last few seasons. We need an upgrade for our RB position in the summer. Possibly two but subject to the funds available.

You can spam me all you like (just as you have done many times previously) as it doesn’t bother me (as I don’t do spam) but pls go ahead with your usual SOP. Whatever floats your boat.

Actually, although I have nothing personal against you and sometimes I don’t really disagree with some of your defensive posts about Trippier, but for the entertainment value, I do post replies just to await your defensive counter comments or neg reps. I somehow imagine that, whenever you see any negative posts on Trippier, you’d being rushing out of your cubby hole, all guns blazing at any SCers who’ve posted those same posts.

I think this is an open forum and posters should be free to post on their own opinions (even it differs from other posters) without be ridiculed or spammed/neg repped as long as it’s not (glorifying) about taboo subjects (eg. Racism, homophobia or other similar topics).

Anyway Paolo, my friend, we are all fans of THFC and fellow SCers. Let’s just learn to live with each other peacefully even if we have differences of opinions on various players / subjects.

You have a nice day. ?

Cheers

Theres absolutely no debate Trippier is a lability, he is not a good defender . We need to upgrade so very obvious.
Unless this thread has been 173 pages of everyone agreeing with everyone else that he is a liability - which sounds futile even by Spurscommunity standards - then there clearly is a debate.

I disagree with the view that Sterling caused Trippier problems.
In order for Sterling to do that Trippier would have had to have actually been near him, which he wasn't lol.
That first goal gets worse every time you see it. I dont understand what Trippier was trying to do. Show him onto his right foot so he could get a shot off??? Thats what it looked like.
Anyway we're through so whatever.

I see your thinking, I guess it depends on how many midfielders we are looking at and how much we have to spend although I can actually see some logic in that however I'm one of those who subscribe to the if it ain't broke don't fix it... And moving Sissoko out of that position for me would cause a lot of problems IMO.

Thats the hole point Trippier was nowhere near him on both occasions. Positionally all over the place I'm expecting to see KWP next time around he can't be any worse.

Anyone see the action where Trippier gave the ball away in the second half and feigned injury for about 10 seconds? Seen that a couple of times this season.

Very happy we are through but we need sell both of Trippier and Aurier this summer.

I get the trippier dislike .. but to say you’d prefer Aurier shows that view up... hyper emotional ... Aurier has been very poor. Trippier has played well at times even if he can’t cope against elite, quick players.

He could have done better in the first half on Wednesday, particularly with the first, but the the ball by De Bruyne was ridiculous for sterling’s second. Besides he improved a lot in the second half and did something Eriksen seems Incapable of bu delivering a quality assist from a corner.

He also cost us two goals in the game, so he ended up -1 goal. He is negative in the bank.

At the end of the day, the odd assist when going forward does not make up for his calamitous defending. He has the odd good solid game, I'll give you that, but those moments are few and far between and also, he is NEVER world class. Trippier's ceiling is quite low, he never really hits that ceiling anyway, and most of the time he is actually a liability.

I can't believe you actually defend the guy and have the audacity to suggest Aurier and Sissoko wouldn't have had Sterling in their back pocket. Maybe they wouldn't have, but we know Trippier never does either. It's time to upgrade. Our full backs have been woeful all season, Rose has had his moments too unfortunately.

A big part of our problems at the back this season have been the form of our full backs. Trippier has had a terrible season.
