I feel for trips- rarely has a bad game when he plays. Deserves more game time but how can u drop walker

If it ever gets to the stage where Trippier is demanding more game time or a move, we should try and insert a buy back clause like the Spanish teams do. He clearly has something special but Walker is probably the better defender at the moment.

I hope Trippier gets a call up, at least to be around the squad... but England aren't short of RB options and with Walker and Clyne (unless Clyne has been dropped? Not watched Liverpool closely enough to be honest) getting more game time to warrant an England call up might be tricky.

it only takes an injury and he'll be playing non stop, Davies is a great example to him.

We are so blessed at RB. I think Trippier could easily play as many games as Walker does and actually offers more offensively. I would not want to lose him under any circumstances, but if the worst came to the worst, we also have Kyle Walker-Peters waiting in the wings.

I really agree. Big fan of Trippiers. Posted this a while ago.

His technical ability is superior to Walker's. I would much rather have him as an attacking creative outlet for middle to lower level teams - specially on smaller pitches. It is only on wide pitches and against very very quick opposition that I think he may be challenged. Not sure. Think I will keep Walks for Chelsea. Trippier for a lot of the other teams.

Yes , someone was saying that trips is great but that tricky wingers did him damage in the European games . Maybe Trips in Europe, Kyle in Prem system we used this season often , was the wrong tactic . We should mix it up more astutely . 2 excellent Backs with different skillsets . Horses for courses .
