Been an important player in our last 2 games, which have been the trickiest of our recent run.

Tino was unwell for the Villa game, so gave Tripps the chance to get into the line up, and his experience and leadership have been massive.

I?d keep playing him, certainly against Spurs, and Son in particular.

Tino has been great but he?s still young, and when I watch him live there?s still some improvement he can make when deciding to close someone down or back off from them.

I?d like to keep Tripps till the end of the season so Tino can continue to train with him and learn from him? but who know?s what?ll happen in terms of money and wanting more wiggle room for PSR
