We’ve got five full backs and one is good enough. It’s Danny Rose.

The link to the Norwich lad makes total sense.

Trippier? I’m trying really hard not to dislike him! He’s having a terrible season imo

Sadly, even though I think Trips isn't even remotely good enough, I'd thought that he was okay when played as a RWB, with 3 at the back cover so he could get forward without shirking defensive duties. He also had a target man striker and a second string palace defense, and he managed to put in one of his worst performances yet.

I couldn’t disagree more, but there you go

So you are saying KWP was fantastic today then. I would love to know which bits of the game he was fantastic in as I can only remember attacks breaking down due to him cutting back into his right foot or the stupid penalty he gave away.

For the record I’d love to see him play as a RWB as I think his pace and trickery would cause all sorts of problems for the opposition... I just think he’s a crap LWB.

Seem to recall you thinking Yedlin was a better player, I lol'ed.

I get it’s not his fault he was played out of position but he was far from fantastic. He was in fact pretty crap.

Son was crap when he was played out of position at LB.

If you want to get the best out of the players, use them at their correct / best positions.

He’s a better RB than Trippier so why not use him at RB. He’s had more MOTM games than Trippier, relative to the number of games played.

Pony penalty but fuck me does he get some grief off of Spurs fans...saying that his on pitch demeanour when he fucks up does my head in so maybe thats where it stems from.

For what its worth i would have probably picked him to take that pen not that it means much as there wasnt anyone on the pitch i would have fancied.

anyone can miss a penalty or have the odd poor performance and misplaced pass but he has been dreadful near enough all season, only thing hes any good at is set plays and for some reason Eriksen and even kane seem to take them before him when hes on the pitch

Not true. Aurier and Davies aren't world class but are adequate as long as we understand their limitations. KWP has potential to be more than adequate and needs more minutes to realize it. Trippier offers nothing outside of a brilliant cross every other game against mid table shite. He's the problem.

He is, without any shadow of a doubt, our worst player this season.

The fact he carries himself so arrogantly too and points the finger at his team mates for his own fuck ups absolutely infuriates me.

Assuming Llorente leaves this window, Trippier would be first out of the door for me this summer.


He's been utter gash. I can't stand his demanour either, comes across arrogant as hell. Honestly, get rid in the summer. The bloke is useless.

I cannot get over the fact we went from having the best right back in the league in Walker to f*cking Kieran Trippier. He is truly painful to watch. Not to mention he was given the armband for half an hour or so.

He's dreadful, I posted on here weeks back (can't be bothered to find it) the World Cup ruined him. Can't defend, no idea where the idea he can cross it comes from.
