“He is a very experienced player, we have seen him playing in World Cups at the age of 33. He has been a top professional.
'I think in a way you just have to do it yourself because he is one of the best Premier League players, one of the best professionals we have seen and that couldn't happen.
“When you think about all the good guys, he's definitely one of the best guys, everyone who meets him, everyone says what a great job he's doing. Top professional. It will be difficult for him because he has two or three games now, but I have no doubt that we will get through it.
'He just has to work hard and I think this will be important for him in training. You know, good people around him too.'
Karen Carney said: 'If that was anyone else, Trippier would be the first person to bypass them as an experienced leader. They have to go around him now and just pick him up and sometimes you feel like the best thing in football is the next game.”
Former Newcastle keeper Shay Give backed Tripper to bounce back.
He said: 'Look, given that the takeover has happened since the new owners arrived since Eddie Howe came before me, he's probably been the best signing.

“He's been captain for a lot of that part too and he'll bounce back and get the support of the fans because they know they've got a real quality player.”
