We all have different views I guess. I'm happy with the line up. Cardiff will try and make it tough as hell for us.
Of course we're the stronger team but sometimes we all lose focus on that and expect us to beat everyone. That's what makes football great IMO - upsets happen. And there will be games where we play shite. That's football. We've just become accustomed to playing good football over the last 4 years.
Poch I'd the best manager we've had in my lifetime. By a mile. He knows the squad. Agree that if I was KWP I'd be disappointed, but maybe Poch thinks this is a game for experience.

These attacks on a Trippier are unbalanced
He is one best attacking right backs in Premiership
He has 4 direct assists this seasons but many more where he was crucially involved in buildup
His set pieces are excellent - corners and free kicks - goal v Fulham and assist v Everton
His crossing is better than any other of our full backs and better than Kyle Walker’s
Yes he is prone to defensive errors - at home to City and away to Wolves are examples - but so is Aurier who is a liability for penalties - Real, Juve - and for cards - and even KWP makes mistakes - and Kyle Walker had frequent goal conceding errors at Spurs and still does
Trippier was not cause of our loss v Wolves - that was a team wide collapse and failure of passing due to cumulative exhaustion and injury crisis
The whole team that played that day has a chance to make amends today and I suspect that is why Poch made only 1 change
Skipp and KWP are a bit inexperienced for such a high pressure game

He will turn 22 in April, he should’ve got minutes at least 2 seasons ago
Poch has done a poor job with him
Dont give him the idea

Complaining about Trippier when you see Rose for Davies, let's focus on the positives

What's wrong with saying you'd prefer a different line up? Isn't discussing stuff like that all part of football?

What is wrong with making a joke? Does every post have to be serious?

In my opinion, Poch wants him to be taller.

Think he wants him to be a baller.
Poch was quite the rapper in the 90s. Unfortunately Argentinian rap didn’t become commercialised and American rappers started stealing his lines.
Poch has since left the rap game.

I've told him to go back to gringotts many a time, he won't listen to me though.

Well said. The issue on this board specifically is that people seem to give a massive amount of credit to average performances from academy players and very reluctant to give any credit to non academy players who put in a similar performance.
