There is no Waitrose nearby. Lives near me. Polite, down to earth family man - no local branch of Waitrose though

Ocado delivery then? ?

He seems a normal guy. I remember the article about him after the birth of his baby and how it was effecting his training as the baby was tiring him out. Worth a read to get the sense of the man I seem to remember (and his relationship with Poch).

Have to agree I’m not a fan of Trippier in a back 4 against anyone with a bit of pace or skill.

Same here. I think a strong World Cup has helped him become our number one right back , but we still miss Walker

We conceded another goal from his side on the right, it's a problem.

If we're gonna play 4 at the back then I don't think he's good enough to play there.

After the WC I mentioned Tripps was not a great defender (but said if we could use him offensively like England did it might be fine) and I stand by that. He's perfect against middle of the road and lower level teams but against quality opposition, I worry.

His cushioned volley pass to Eriksen was awesome though.

In the big games I’d prefer aurier over tripps ( yes I said it )
I think I agree, if there isn't a cross open he just offers nothing.

We should have tried to sell Trippier on his highest value after the WC and brought in a legit player.

Next summer we need a fullback overhaul. New blood on the left and right. Sell both of Tripps and Aurier so we have funds to bring in a damn good one and have KWP rotate with him.

Any fullback would have struggled yesterday when deployed against the quickest, most in tune wing attack currently on the planet and with the manager having given them no protection by having the AMs completely tucked in. Could've been Cafu and Maldini yesterday, they'd have still struggled.

Love him in a back five, but worry in a back four. I think most of us have felt like that since Walker was here.

Third most progressive passer in the league so far behind Hazard and Silva
