Perhaps thats what that no look pass was all about the other week.
To be honest, at this point its all on Conte for continuing to play him even though he spends the majority of the 90 minutes screaming at him, turning around in despair at the latest attack that he's killed and watching our other players actively not passing to him to continue to put him in the starting XI is just insane.
I don't think Trippier would be the player he is today if he didn't leave Spurs. He was desperate for a fresh start elsewhere after some high-profile mistakes in his last season here.
Similarly I think Emerson would actually slot in perfectly to a team that doesn't require him to attack. I vaguely remember Athletico being interested in taking him on loan during the Summer and it wouldn't surprise me to see him there or another defensive team in the future.

That's always been the way from my experience, people love a moan!
Not widespread boo's though which is what I was worried about

Sure, all players make mistakes but it's worth remembering that what is actually a mistake and what passes for one on SC can often be wildly different. Doubly so when said player is on the scape list

At the time we were playing with 4 at the back. He was all over the place, playing poorly from an attacking point of view and defending atrociously.
im really pleased that he has got himself into a better place and is playing well. However it’s the ridiculous application of hindsight to suggest we made a bad decision by moving him on as there is no guarantee he would have recaptured his form
No doubt this place can pile on a player. However, I remember some serious howlers from Trippier. The Chelsea own goal, claiming a highfoot on one of Ajax's goals just off the top of my head and I am sure there were more.
We needed to move him on and he needed a fresh start. He has done fantastically well since then and it is great to see.

Fell out with Poch because he was being asked to do what Kyle Walker was doing for us and that wasn't his game.

Didn't he say he was carrying an injury at that time and Poch was expecting him to charge up and down the pitch for 90 mins too?

Don't know about the injury, but he wanted him to get up and back from touchline to touchline like Walker did. Tripps told him he didn't need to and could put the balls in from deeper to a similar effect and it all blew up.

Think it took a deflection but it was going to absolutely nobody with out the deflection. He also scored against Newcastle last year in the 5-1 win.

From F365 - in case you're wondering what an objective judge of the situation is saying. Honestly, this guy isn't good enough.

We literally cannot think of anything more mortifying than having one of the great managers of the age believe with unshakeable certainty that you are worse at football than Emerson Royal.

You cannot defend the indefensible.
Which happens to be Emerson Royal's motto when anyone runs at him with the ball!

A 59 year old Dani Alves was preferred.
Apparently 68 year old Cafu was next in line
And I’m next. Don’t even have a Brazilian relation. Other than the missus’ muff.
