KWP can play on both sides so he can deputize on both ends. Vertonghen can also move out on the flank and we can drop Dier down in the 3 back.Its only just dawned on me that with Rose not even training with the squad yet, if Ben gets a knock we're fucked. In those training videos released yesterday rose is nowhere to be seen, which means Lamela is probably closer to a return then Rose is. . .
Rashford?moses
That's racistRashford?
If anybody can elevate Trippier to another level, it is Poch! I am not going to write off Trippier, but obviously Aurier is miles ahead of him, so it's only good if Trippier gets better!This is why we shouldnt be writing Trippier off either......2 weeks ago both were deemed un fit for our targets.
Now Davies has just run the left side against Dortmund for 90 minutes
I can't agree I'm afraid. Davies has the technical ability to effect a game with quick passing and the ability to run beyond and come inside to join attacks. Tripp's just doesn't do this, his only weapon is an early ball into the box or if we are playing against a team that sits deep he can whip crosses in. This crosses are all very low percentage opportunities, he lumped endless crosses in against Chelsea and they were all easily defended.This is why we shouldnt be writing Trippier off either......2 weeks ago both were deemed un fit for our targets.

He is by some distance our weakest link and a long way behind Davies ability OMO.
I've got every faith in Poch finding a system to deal with Tripp's inefficiencies, as he has already done, but if I were a betting man (I'm not) I think Walker-Peters will end the season as our number two, as he just looks better equipped to be an attacking FB and one that can build play rather than lumping it into the box.My main point is that Davies looked like the worse player at times last season.....We´ll see, but I have evry faith in the player and Poch turning him into a very competent stand in for Aurier
Davies is so much more efficient going forward. Might not be as dynamic as Rose, but his positional awareness and passing is more over-thought than the game of Rose.He has been fantastic this season, only thing being held against him is Rose is the best LB on the planet when on form.
