If Rose is out this is the perfect game to play KWP and keep Davies fresh. think back to his MOTM against Newcastle...

I wouldn't play KWP as a left-back at this stage of his progression as I feel would be counter-productive.

He needs a run in his proper position to gain confidence and once he is hopefully established then maybe he can help cover the left (although I still feel this is a waste and we should be ensuring left back is cover by left-footed players).

Similar can be said about Onomah

With Trippier going to the WC, safe to say that Aurier and KWP will be with the team for the entirety pre-season schedule. Good chance for KWP to get vital minutes and force his way into the RB rotation.

I'd be amazed if Tripps misses much of pre-season....

If I was KWP I would feel disrespected that Aurier and Trippier gets to play instead of me every week, and even when Rose is injured and Davies needs a rest he doesn’t get the chance. I’m angry for him.
This might sound crazy but I would honestly start him in the semifinal instead of Aurier and Trippier, I’m tired of Trippier’s mediocrity and Aurier idiotic decisions

I guess you have to look at what Trent Alexander-Arnold has done this season, and think couldn't we have done that with KWP?

Mind you, TAA has express pace, and managers are always more inclined to throw in a kid if they have outstanding physical gifts, like pace or strength.

I would. He's here for 2 more years at least, might as well make more money. All that extension does is make the club more money if we sell him.

well yeah, if money is all you care about then sure, but if he has any intentions of actually playing football sometime soon then he'd be foolish to lock himself into a longer term contract than the one he's already on.

Personally I don't rate Trippier at all, positionally he's awful. Crossing the ball into the box going forward is a strength however tracking back tackling actually defending not for me.

The upside with Trippier always used to be that he could put a killer ball into the box. He could hit the thing first time with accuracy and pace. However, he now seems to have morphed into what Walker was offensively, i.e. gets into a good position, stops, has a looks around then picks a safe sideways or backwards pass. On the odd occasion he tries a cross it gets picked off or blocked. If we could get decent money for him I'd be all for KWP getting a shot at RWB.

disagree with that...would sell Aurier and keep Trippier and KWP.
My feeling on Trippier and Ben Davies is that the season is starting to catch up with both....particularly BD. They need competition and real rotation. Sell Aurier and probably have to swap Rose for Shaw (because neither would be sold for big money due to injuries)

If he signs he needs assurances that he's actually going to play next season and if that's the case then one of our current RB's needs to be moved on, my vote is Trippier.

Did I not months ago explained we were offering him fresh terms, but he wanted very strong assurances playing RB? Tripps is the most likely to go, not SA!
