It's a difficult situation. We like to rotate between two right backs - we can't keep all 3 happy.
Trippier is more consistent but older (turning 28 soon) while 25 year old Aurier is very inconsistent. However, he could be a much better player next season with a full season of Premier League experience under his belt and a full pre season with Poch.
In my opinion, KWP will be better than both of them. But he needs to play. One of Trippier/Aurier needs to move on.
Who even cares that we conceded 4. That defence has likely never played with each other and in the first half our CM 2 were offering no protection. Second half Wanyama was much better but we went all out to score which cost us two. Also should have had a pen and Kane obviously should have passed to the back post before their fourth. I'm just happy that I got to witness that match, it was one for the ages.
It was like a youth game full of school boy errors and ego's desperate to win , I'm glad we already had top 4 bagged otherwise my ticker wouldn't have survived that match.
Who of them will play in CM?!?! Both maybe??
Even if we play Lucas in AM and drop Eriksen/Alli to CM we STILL need one more CM (as this place is thin right now!)
Crazy game. Never sworn so much and ended up happy. Too many team changes and Vertonghen injury really mucked us up. Defensively could/should have conceded more but it is a long time since we scored and attacked so freely. Why did Sanchez not get into the team when Jan injured? Was he not ready/changed etc? Did he have to go and get his kit? if so very unprofessional. Not sure why Son came on when we needed to hold a lead.
Well at least we got there in the end although not sure how and can go into the summer happy.

No, I'd say it is fairly easy.
Give them all full preseason. Give them chances based on the outcome of preseason in 1st half of the season. Whoever ends up "3rd best" - sell/loan him on winter window. Not really a rocket science to me. Currently we do not have enough information to decide who to keep. Currently in my view Aurier is too inconsistent and error prone and might be 3rd in this running.
Extra thing to note about that video: KWP is walking around pretty happily in the background at one point. Would gather his arm injury wasn't too bad at all then, which is fantastic news for preseason, etc.
Check the amount of Liverpool fans in the comments of this tweet, PRAYING for Leicester, now after the game all of the game all of them pretending they don't care and haven't bottled 3rd! Bottlers!!!
Why the fuck do scouser fans pollute other teams' social media accounts so much? They're fucking pathological.
Nothing would make me happier than them falling from grace (again) next season.
vanity searchers the lot of them
I don't think they're truly 'happy' as fans. Probably a symptom of constantly looking for grievances (and, dare I suggest, a fair few plastic fucks from around the globe being added to their ranks).
Gazza dancing
Without falling over too!
Lot of wierd selections/subs... Think it could well be the case that Poch was juggling a few player's knocks etc. Certain players, such as Dav, were probably only played as a last resort...
Dier, Dembele, Aurier, Jan out... Dav & Vic carrying issues.... + Rose & Toby still trying to regain their level...
That's one hell of a dent in the back half of the pitch.
Regardless, job done.
