Sadly that is the way football forums work.
There are players who can be criticised and those who can’t. As a result those who can be criticised get a ridiculous amount of it resulting in people thinking they are rubbish.
My opinion on Tripper is he doesn’t have the pace to play wing back in a back four. He isn’t great defensively but Poch’s system asks the full backs to primarily attack.
Trippier arguably has the best cross in the league and works well in a back three.
Given that England played a back three he shone at the World Cup .
So the question is do we play a formation to suit him? IMO we shouldn’t.
Our attacking mids are our strength and we should play three most of the time.
Like most prem players Trippier has strengths and weaknesses, it is a question of whether he fits us.
I don’t believe he does.
This.
