Newcastle fans all say the same thing about Kieran Trippier after latest twist
Newcastle United fans are all saying the same thing about Kieran Trippier after his impact off the bench in the 2-1 win v Wolves.
Eddie Howe’s side fought to an impressive comeback victory at Molineux thanks to goals from Fabian Schar and Harvey Barnes.
It was Howe’s use of substitutes that received the most praise for changing the game, and Trippier’s role in the comeback was highlighted by supporters.
Tino Livramento had started the game at right-back, fresh off the back of his maiden senior England call-up, but struggled to make a difference in attack or defence.
When Trippier was introduced, however, his leadership qualities and ability on the ball enabled Newcastle to grasp more of a hold of the game and regain their impressive structure.
Howe’s sides have always been built on structure and coherence within the team, and it was the 33-year-old’s substitution that helped to reestablish those key factors.
The Magpies’ vice-captain remains a vocal influence and leader both on and off the pitch thanks to his experience both at St James’ Park and at the top level.
Despite Livramento’s talent and ability, fans are insisting Trippier should remain in the Newcastle starting XI due to the impact he has on the pitch.

Trippier has played a vital role in Howe’s setup since arriving from Atletico Madrid, but seemed to have been slowing down towards the end of the season due to his age.
Now, fans are insisting he should be put back into the starting XI in place of Livramento, thanks to the impact he made when coming on against Wolves.
