In my view if Walker goes Tripper is not an option to be the senior RB
The drop in quality is massive, especially defensively, Kyle Walker is a monster.

It's not even like he's a poor defender, it's just that his lack of pace will inevitably cost us in some games.I've been saying this for a while. Trippier is good against teams who play a deep block and barely attack. Whenever I've seen Trippier against attacking teams with pace he gets troubled. I think Poch is testing him for the big games to see how he copes before making a decision on a new rb.
Yeah, especially at Wembley.It's not even like he's a poor defender, it's just that his lack of pace will inevitably cost us in some games.

I don't think its his pace, I think he gets his positioning wrong at times and is slow to react.
The body language didnt look great I must say.
Any worse than Eric Dier looking an absolute misery on the walk round ? Players apart from the odd few like Kane are transient. they come and go. We will always still be here.Whilst watching the rainbow appear at white hart lane the camera caught this moment.
Walker standing on his own looking over the moon. Didn't look great and could be coincidence

To be honest the drop in quality is very similar to when Davies comes in for Rose - Davies got smashed for pace twice as well today and you know Rose wouldn't have been. That doesn't mean Davies isn't a good player - I'm a fan of his - but at the end of the day the simple fact is that we have the two best fullbacks in the whole league, and if we sell one, we will no longer be able to say that. We'll be saying we've got the best left back but the best right back has gone to City.
A real shame.

Not necessarily.

It doesn't always work out, it's not guaranteed he will slot straight in and be as good as he has been.
Not saying he won't, but he might not
I thought that as well. Emotional day for all but it just seemed more telling with WalkerTrying not to read too much into it at all he moment, but I thought Walker looked isolated from the rest of the squad during the walk around
I think this is a great philosophy as long as Poch then actually plays them when he has a chance to. Onomah's been with the first team squad at least a couple of years now and he's not even getting on the pitch when we are 4-0 up with 35 minutes to go. Kind of makes the whole philosophy redundant somewhat.
Make of it what you will, but Poch name dropped Onomah, along wit Walker-Peters and Edwards, as younglings he would be looking to give more pitch-time next season.
Poch does have a tremendous record for bringing kids through, at Espanyol (through necessity), at Southampton, and with us. He kept Harry Winks with the first team for a season while hardly putting him on the pitch. That's all changed this season, once he thought the lad was ready. I see no reason to believe it will be any different with Onomah.
