He. Is. Shit! NOTHING I have seen from him since he joined us suggests otherwise.
IMO he is championship level FB, if you don't want to accept that then I am just fine with that. But it will not for a second change my opinion on him. Maybe he's going to play as a back-up at Napoli or Atletico, just a thought. Maybe they are just going to play him as an AM???? I don't care.
Those far superior RB's have been injured (Aurier) and I would guess not deemed experienced enough (KWP), can you think of a game where KWP has been worse than Tripps.........I'll wait.
Let's just assess the players abilities rather than build strawmen around us making up a 30point deficit if player 'X', 'Y' or 'Z' is or is not playing, that proves the square root of fuck all. Let's just focus on his ability to defend, build up from the back, take on a player, cross the ball, pass, tackle and not pass the ball into the fucking net, get beaten in the air on his back post, have oppo players run off him, be unable to play the role of a modern FB bombing up (and back) the pitch, Link midfield, find an Spurs player with a pass.
He's shit and it pleases me that he's the first player that looks likely to be on his way, that to my mind makes sense, you know get rid of the shit if you want to build a better squad than the one you already have.
Earlier today I rewatched the extended highlights of when we beat Real at Wembley. Tripps put in some very good crosses, one of which Alli put in to score our first. Its easy to forget the decent performances and remember the mistakes.
We all accept he isn’t the greatest RB and his recent form has dipped, but he’s not as bad as you are making out. With luck his form will improve for the final.
As a side note Walker had awesome athleticism and was able to get back to defend and attack like no other, but don’t you recall that his delivery was nearly always terrible.
