    My quote. "A matter of time", a matter of time is not instant. Just ask most on here if they have read good reports about Trippier other than on here. I'm sure you would get a positive response. I also pointed out that Lascelles had improved since Trippier's arrival. Is that not a coincidence.

    I'm sure he will be captain eventually and you can quote me on that.

    Yes I think he will be captain, one day. The point I was trying to make was that we should be leaving things as they are, as they seem to be working, Bruno can’t even get into the team!

    I don't think that point about Bruno is correct. He's being eased in and in no time will be a regular starter.

    There is just no point in throwing him in at the deep end. Give him time to get used to playing in the prem and playing our type of game, when he knows his teammates better.

    I think Bruno was supposed to play a far larger part in sunday's game.
    the 2 early injuries and forced substitutions put an end to that plan .
