Funny that you think the RB of a team consistently in the top 3 isn’t a top 3 RB

Going by your logic,Funny that you think the RB of a team consistently in the top 3 isn’t a top 3 RB
It's quite obvious that teams target him.
Going by your logic,
Lovren is a top 4 CB in PL
Davies is a top 3 LB in PL
Winks and Henderson are the best CMs in PL

All teams that push their FB's up the pitch are vulnerable to the space they leave behind, it goes with the territory, it's the risk vs reward.Of course they target him, he is instructed to play so high up the pitch because of his excellent delivery, anyone with eyes can see that there will be space behind him. If we wanted Trippier to play more conservatively then we could do that, but that would be a waste of his attributes.
People have to accept that we play high risk football, Sissoko is not "babysitting" Trippier by helping him cover the right side. Trippier is instructed to carry the ball forward and play passes in behind and deliver crosses, Sissoko is instructed to patrol around him and be ready to defend if the opponent breaks away.
Trippier just played a bad pass and with Sissoko gone there wasn't a player ready to hassle Pogba when he received the ball from Lingard. We didn't have these problems last season and that's probably because we were able to field a more balanced midfield with Dier doing most of the ugly stuff every game. Playing a 442 diamond with Winks as the deepest midfielder is always going to cause some problems when we give the ball away but it brings the best our of our strikers, that's the risk we take with this system.
Winks as been dropping back in between the CBs recently when the FBs have pushed forwards, he just offers less defensively when he does.Maybe this where we now realise what Dier does. With the full backs right up the pitch he used to drop in between the centre halves to make a three. Winks is not that sort of player so it doesn’t happen . Consequently we are short at the back when they break.
This is the player I see Trippier as. Way more than average, and a competent RB who suffers from dips in form like everyone else in the squad.
Personally, Im rooting for him to re find form and confidence rather than throw him under the bus while everyone else gets a free pass for being "fatigued".
And theres people who "feel sorry" for Llorente, or turn a blind eye to the 5 set pieces Eriksen blasted at the oppositions knees yesterday.....like hes done for the last 5 years
KWP should be starting - 100%Seriously fed up of seeing his name on the team sheet. I'm not saying I want him out but he needs a break.
Not sure what's going on with Aurier off the field, so maybe it's time for KWP? Can't do much worse...
He's not good enough for this team and never will be - selected YouTube highlights can make even the biggest turd look decent - you're scrapping the bottom rn. He's behind KWP and Aurier - how is that even an argument?

That's on Poch - and he's paying for it. Utd most recentlyBehind KWP and Aurier? How? How are you even saying those words, when he´s first choice?
I have said that many times. Doesn't change the fact he's a shit playerSo why are you berating Trippier and not the manager?
