I do not believe Trippier is a capable replacement for what Walker gave us. He's awesome to have as rotation RB (overkill even), but clearly the weak link in what would be our strongest lineup.
If we don't replace Walker with another athletetic RB physically equipped to deal with every type of opponent, we will regret this 100%. Say what you want about him, but that combination of pace/power/stamina/durability made Walker a nightmare match-up for AM/wingers. The only time anyone got the better of him was because of his football IQ.
But alas, in Poch we trust.
Also I'm a bit gutted by this because Walker was one of my favourite players and a longterm mainstay...
