Kieran Trippier
- Thread starter DublinSpur
- Start date
I know, but they're not exactly sticking their necks out. I think most of us probably thought he was 50/50 for next weekend given the way he looked when he went off

Well he had a protective boot on so that meant he needed some TLC
If he misses a weekend so be it

You'd go KWP? I wouldn't start KWP in the Prem *this season*, never mind the first game. His time will come, but not yet by any means.
Dier at RB. Shift the defense over - Toby goes to RCB, Jan goes in the middle and Wimmer goes to LCB. Pray none of them get injured too, because all we will have in that eventuality is CCV.
Ah, f*ck's sake - this is exactly the sort of brick we need signings good and early for.

Who plays holding mid then?

4-2-3-1 with Dembele and Winks in central midfield and Dier at RB. Not perfect but should be able to do a job.

If Toby jan or Wimmer get injured we can always go 4-2-3-1 before CCV is needed.You'd go KWP? I wouldn't start KWP in the Prem *this season*, never mind the first game. His time will come, but not yet by any means.

Not if we want to have a right-footer at RCB, surely. Jan and Wimmer are both left-footed. If Dier's stuck out wide, and Toby is injured, then that means CCV coming in.
I concede that an injury to either Jan or Wimmer would still be just about manageable, though. But not to Toby.

I'm not sure that Winks is match fit based on the game time which he's had, so who plays CM with Dembele?
Yes, I'd play Dier at DM given that I think it's such a fundamental position that shoe-horning Dembele into that role is, for me, a bigger risk than playing KWP. It's also not as if Dier is a completely natural RB as it is. Neither option is ideal though and could succeed or backfireYou'd go KWP?

5 injuries and we're really scrambling around and Sissoko more or less guaranteed to start. As I've been harping on about for weeks/months we lack depth. Nice that all those who have been saying that they wouldn't make any signings this summer have finally accepted that we need more bodies!

Five injuries is a lot though.
Take half the outfield players out of any (non-doped) team and they'd struggle.

You're right about Toby........but wtf did we do last year when he was injured................except play badly??
Edit: Stupid me. Of course we played Dier there as Walker/Trippier were available. Brain freeze!

C'mon five is a lot out considering they've all had the whole summer off.? How much would some squad bodies cost us? May be that's the problem, we thought they were gonna cost x amount but once the transfer window opened it soon became clear that the eg VVD and Gylfi's were £50m plus players.
I think we could do with 2. Probably a RB that can play CB (bit like Davies does on the left) and a CM/3 behind player. I think the Barkley transfer is just stuck on the price. If he came then Sissoko would be gone, so numbers neutral anyway.
Funny how we ridicule Sissoko being guaranteed a starting place. He's a £30M player! .....is completely sh*t though
I think Poch might go with the Dier at RB option BUT you never know it may depend on how the Geordies line-up and who we expect them to play down that left hand side.
It might be risky but i would go with KWP, just because at the moment, in theory, we only have Trippier as a RB if you are not gonna trust KWP. So trust him and if he pulls through he is then on the road to being that back-up and may well solve the back-up problem.
Protect him a bit by playing the three of Toby Jan and Wimmer and put Dier back in CM with Moose.

Sissoko will start IMO. Whether in a 5 or a 3 with Alli and Eriksen.

He's not being shoehorned. We play with two sitting midfielders who have slightly (but not totally) different roles. Ideally, we would have one of Dier or Wanyama there but it is not essential. The only key difference would be that you would ask Dembele to sit back a little bit more.

Did you see the Juve game? Based on that I think he did enough to warrant a start. Maybe Poch plans to sell him, but unless we get someone in, that feels like it would leave us short, so yes, I think I'd agree.

I came across an amazing statistic about Trippier today, this current injury is the first one of his professional career, now you have to agree that is amazing for a 26 year old defender?
