RB: Kieran Trippier
Kieran Trippier has had his doubters over the years. This season, however, the Bury-born full back is making the naysayers eat their words over and over again.
It’s true – he isn’t the best defender in the world. Despite this, from set pieces and when operating down the channels, there are few better.
So far, he has notched up four assists and scored one goal for Newcastle. He’s been an integral part of an excellent Toon back line – his energy makes it very difficult for attacking wingers to settle on the ball.
