It's a flashback/revolving gif moment for me. Horrific stunt fail.

I’ve never been a huge fan of Trippier primarily because I like my full backs to be good defenders first of all and I’ve never rated Trippier defensively especially compared to Walker. He’s a great back up RB though but you don’t really want him playing more than a dozen games per season (and against the lessser teams)
Having said that I think some on here are being way over the top. I also think Poch isn’t helping him with the system tbh. He is not in great form admittedly but I like to focus on the positives where possible and last night was another decent assist for him in what was a poor performance from him so that’s something I guess.

If Rose doesn’t get fit and Aurier or KWP don’t grab the RB spot I’d be seriously tempted to go to a back 4 of:
Vertonghen Sanchez Alderweireld Foyth
Yeah it won’t offer anywhere near as much in attack but we have wingers at the club and at least we’d have two players at full back who are defensively solid. Sick of seeing us getting rinsed down the wings week in week out.
We won’t sign full backs in January so get to summer and buy two new ones who actually fit what Poch needs from them.

I think if given a proper chance, KWP will take the spot snd not let go. He is good enough already, IMO. It’s up to us to give him a proper run of games. He fits Poch’s system perfectly. Him and Aurier should be the RB’s.

Aurier has looked good last couple of games and I like what he can bring but let’s not pretend he’s got no big fuck ups in him. The KWP stuff is getting a bit silly too. He could be the greatest in the world but the kid is very inexperienced so it’s certainly no given he comes in and makes no costly errors.
Ill take the errors from KWP because as you said, he’s inexperienced. Trippier, however, is very experienced but still makes a boat load of defensive errors and his pathetic attitude blaming others makes it worse. Give me the young, inexperienced player making errors but with loads of potential any day of the week.

I see what you’re saying and at the moment Trippier is making some bad decisions but I don’t think he’s usually this bad so believe he’ll come out of this bad form soon enough and, like I said above, the guy is still delivering in the final third even when playing poorly (as we saw yesterday) can KWP step in and fill that void if we binned Trippier? I’m not so sure.
Don’t get me wrong, I think KWP deserves more chances (though you have to wonder how he’s performing in training if he can’t get a sniff ahead of Trips and Serge) but you’d think reading some comments on here that he’s an automatic upgrade which is being based on absolutely nothing.

They were still wrong though. Despite current form he's still made it as a premier League player.
Can you imagine all the negative press if we had sold him though. It would've been non stop selling club comments for months.

20 teams playing 2 full backs means all 38 starting opposing full backs plus 13 subs creating more chances than him.
I don’t think that is correct.

I think this is a big choice the club has to make.
I actually think we should embrace our position as a ‘selling club.’
Not to say we should sell our stars but we know Trippier has limitations and if we can get a high bid while his stock is high then we should do it regardless of press and fan interpretation.

If we sold him to ManU and had Son going up against him, we would all love that matchup.

"from his position" = "open play"
It does not mean he creates the 51st most chances among FBs

This should show the people who constantly use stats and ratings to judge players
According to whoscored, Trippier played better than Lloris yesterday

Went back and watched the highlights from yesterday and the goals weren't his only poor contribution last night. In the build-up to that Neves shot Lloris superbly saved he got lost between playing the line and following Costa, it wasn't the only time this happened.
It happened with Davies a few times too, although at least Davies is much more sensible when he's the last man.
If I was an opposition coach or analyst I'd be targeting these two and trying to isolate them as much as possible. Sorry, but it's the truth.
