I think our expectations need to be managed regarding Trippier. I think he's reached his ceiling, and whilst that isnt world class, it's still more than capable of being at least rotation for a top side.
Yes - he's 27 so I guess from a learning curve he may have plateaued.
He improved so much however since his arrival to now, I thought he would continue on that trajectory. But more is expected of him.
There's no room for sentimentality in the search for success - Pochettino will be ruthless in his quest for silverware as he has shown with the likes of Janssen, Fazio and N'Jie. I suspect whilst not a top priority, if a RB to challenge Trippier was to become available, he will be given a chance (like Kyle Walker-Peters).

In the first few games he showed some flair with intelligent attacking movement and comfortable use of both feet, he seems to have faded but still loves to get forward, a full pre season should do the trick

Aurier just isn’t getting any better. He’s a liability. If it’s not giving away a foul, it’s a pen or a foul throw. He just doesn’t seem to cut it for us. It’s like he doesn’t have a football brain. I was expecting so much from him. Hope he proves me wrong.

He was bad. Don't think a single cross connected, obviously the penalty cost us the win. Him and Sissoko playing next to each other was just horrible.

lol Here we go

But he was shit again. Constantly out of position, poor clearances and he cost us the win with yet another penalty.

People need to get their heads out of their arses and see he’s a shocking defender. He’s cost us too many times.

Reminds me of that Brazilian we bought briefly. Gilberto.
