Does anybody else think one of the reasons behind Trippier's poor form this season is laziness?
Yes he does make runs down the wing, but I'm talking about his tracking of runners.
He just seems to let runners sprint past him and either makes hearted-attempts to catch up, or points at another player to sort it out. I think some of this may actually be down to complacency.
I can't remember exactly what games, but I've noticed this a few times. Notably a couple of times where a shot has been saved and somebody has run past him to get a rebound, while he stands there like a statue.

Davies has been awful for some time, difference is we dont have another LB.

He`s just too slow to catch up, Walker made similar errors but his pace meant he could get back in time and rectify it.
The World Cup and some nice comments in the media have probably gone to his head a bit, he needs to get back to basics and concentrate on his defending.

Our full backs are appalling. I mean, for a top 6 side they are not to the standard required to start each and every game. Rose is the only one we have who is exempt from my comment.
Trippier and Aurier are both liabilities. Davies does a fair job each time but nothing too amazing.
Our team has gone backwards over the last few years.

Hopefully he received a rocket up the bum from Poch after his antics in the last game. That was such casual play.
I do think he gets a bit too much stick than is necessary though. Been a victim of scapegoatism.

Aurier gets overly criticised

Wouldn’t mind seeing Aurier get a string of games. Think he’s just as error prone as Trippier though

Trippier should be fined for both the City goal and especially the first Wolves penalty. Absolutely atrocious.

Trippier has never, ever been able to run back any faster than your ancient grandmother could.
If anyone remembers how we lost to Juve in the last ten minutes of that Euros game ........
it was because Allegri brought on Dybala for the express purpose of running past Trippier.
Dybala proceeded to do just that, and thump the ball past a hapless Lloris.
THAT was when we should have gotten rid of Trippier.

Not convinced by Aurier but think he does need / deserves a proper run in the team to be properly judged.
