As a right wingback, he is better than Kyle Walker and a better fit for us. Kyle Walker is a better RB.

Was excellent tonight. As an aside, tonight also highlights why KWP should not be played on the left as a right footer. The constant need to cut back is so predictable.

what was highlighted was Rose must play before Young the reason being he slowed down attacks with his need to move the ball on to his right foot

Outstanding match. Second best player on the field. Best FB/WB of the tournament so far.

He's not the best defending 1 on 1, however, his composure, crossing and ability to play first time accurate balls into the channel, means he is a superior outlet to walker. He is a much better technical player.

Read a stat that he created 6 chances during the game, the most of any player this World Cup

Correct:

Fifteen years ago, he would have been a great Right Midfielder, sort of a budget Beckham. Glad we have him for the more defensive teams and he also has a decent turn of pace too.

When he gets bit older (30+) he could make a great ball playing DM. Has the range of passing, technical ability in tight spaces and defensive awareness.

The option to go three at the back with wing backs is always in Pochs thinking....hence the need to bring in another ball playing centre back. Trippiers delivery is excellent and key to Englands chances of progression...he is also smart in a way that Walker is not
