Trips may well have peaked in comparison with Aurier and KWP but does that really have to mean he cannot still be our best option at RWB going forward? For sure he's currently going through a very poor spell but only six months ago he was being rated amongst the world's best attacking RWBs. Most of our players seem to have overcome their post-WC fatigue, maybe Trips just happens to be the odd one out?
Certain posters (not you) seem to have a tendency to judge players overly harshly whenever they're going through a poor spell, yet when we look back, most of our top players have had such spells only for them to eventually come back even stronger. Son was getting hammered by some on here only a couple of months back but now we all love him to bits.
For sure Trippier can be done by the very trickiest of forwards but so too can KWP, as recently demonstrated all too graphically by Barcelona's Dembele and West Ham's Antonio. He even had to be taken off at HT earlier this year after a torrid time against lowly Newport. True he is still young and still learning so like Trippier we need to reserve judgment. But you could hardly argue right now that his defensive qualities are his strongest suit.
Of the three that accolade probably goes to Aurier except we all know he too can be very unpredictable.
At the end of the day, the man best placed to judge which of our three RWBs needs to go - if any - is Pochettino. If he decides it has to be Trippier then so be it. I'm just grateful it's his judgment that counts, not ours.
