Back-up?Walker
SagnaBack-up?
Sagna
Fosu-Mensah
Off the top of my head.
Not sure of the relevance of doing this though. He was Burnley's best player, he is our back up right back. So what?
Janssen, Lamela, Son...it's what some here do best.No idea why people would get on his back after doing such a solid job over the last couple seasons.

I am NOT getting on his back. I said he has performed OK when called upon and I said he hasn't been a calamity. What's wrong with what I have said? He is average, which isn't bad for a back-up player.Sagna is a starter when fit and not that great of a player anyway. Fosu-Mensah is an unknown quantity due to lack of experience.
The truth is Trippier is a very very capable right back who fills in excellently when Walker needs a rest. Our full back situation is the best in the league, where most teams don't have strong starting left and right backs we have four who can all do a job. Trippier hasn't made a costly mistake that I can remember since about half way through last season and has supplied a lot of good attacking balls when he has played. No idea why people would get on his back after doing such a solid job over the last couple seasons.
Watching the highlights the camera panned to the Leicester bench and in the background you saw Trippier and his reaction was that of being pissed off we conceded either that or he thought, yes walker fucked up I'll get a game next week?
I think he's a very reliable player to have at the club, never complained about lack of first team football and he's played fairly good when he was called on. That's class if you ask me.
I thought that as well, simply because I think he is good enough to start for us.Watching him on MOTD, I wonder if we should try him on the RW at some point. He is so good with his crosses, so why not play him in front of Walker?
That's what I love him for. His attitude is first class. Just seems so proud to be a part for our club.I think he's a very reliable player to have at the club, never complained about lack of first team football and he's played fairly good when he was called on. That's class if you ask me.
