Honest question here - really curious about this. Just your opinion of course! ?
Why do reckon poch hasn’t given kwp more chances? It seems to be more or less the same discussion we’re having ref edwards and onomah in many ways. Very highly rated by most people who follow the youth, other big clubs and a couple of the first teamers ahead of them (like sissoko and trippier) don’t seem to be far ahead of them in terms of ability and it’s difficult to see why they are not been given more time considering their potential. Is the whole «poch gives youth a chance» a myth? Is his eye for talent not as good as many believe?
I have always felt a bit of what kwp, edwards and onomah are missing is going through that physical transformation that kane and winks did. Added a bit of muscle over a preseason. All the former three seem a bit slight still? Just speculating of course!
My opinion is that the margins for error are extremely thin now. Top 4 this season is a (hopefully) a fantastic achievement all things considered but any slip ups would have beenvery costly. Trippier and Aurier have both had poor games but I think there's just a bit of trust lacking from Poch where KWP is concerned. There may be concerns about his physicality, but Trippier is no bigger/stronger and doesn't have the pace either. Trippier also seems to have gone backwards as an attacking force which was his saving grace. Overall, I think KWP is long overdue his chance but I wouldn't be surprised if Trippier was let go this summer.
