I see what you’re saying but you could turn it around and say that,because our full backs don’t inspire much confidence, Hugo feels the need to come out when he shouldn’t
I love Hugo but there’s always a mistake in him
Still our best though
Trippier , like Rose, should only play when we go with 3 at the back and wing backs. They are both good going forward but shit defenders. With a flat back 4 Aurier and Davies are safer options. I thought Davies was ok today but Trippier had another defensive nightmare.
Aurier must be watching this shit-show and probably calling his agent
No clue why Poch persists with this clogger - he’s not Top 6 quality and never will be. Only looked good at the WC because he played as a winger and never had to do any actual defending at which he’s absolutely terrible.

I think trippier took advantage of walker falling out with poch and having a great World Cup.
Great delivery but he really is a bit suspect in defence.

Why forget Aurier?

I think its time to give Aurier a run of games. If I'm not mistaken he's only played two games in a row once in his whole time with us. If he's still terrible after starting 4 or 5 games on the trot then fair enough, it's just not meant to be, but Trippier just simply isn't good enough, something has to give.
Perfectly sums up his attempt to nutmeg the opposition in our own corner while we are up 3-0.
Had a very bad day at the office and at this point people are targeting him with long balls as he is weak on the jump and just poor positionally.
That world cup hype has clouded a lot of peoples judgement, he's average defender and shouldn't be starting games regularly for us when there are better options like Aurier.
Because I think his decision making is just as suspect as Trippier's but with the added bonus of liking to dive in to tackles in the box to try to make up for his mistakes. Basically We don't currently have an ideal RB, which is why I'd argue that the bulk of the minutes should go to the young player who could develop in to a long term answer for our problem even if he isn't 100% ready yet.
I think you could tell from Poch’s post match interview that he was pissed off. He said again that we conceded a cheap goal and that he will review the incident. Trips is great going forward but he has made too many defensive errors recently and can’t complain if he’s dropped.
He’s not a bad defender, not at all, but he’s struggling right now. We have two alternative options and they deserve a shot too.

To be fair to Aurier he has looked good this season. Hasn’t played many games though so I get your argument - he could literally give a penalty away at any moment.
I think with an extra centre half he’s decent, hence why he looked so good for England.
But I miss walker, not gonna lie.
