Loads of Tottenham fans have been reflecting on the week’s action, and they’re not too happy with the recent performances of Kieran Trippier.
After a wonderful World Cup campaign for England, it certainly came as a surprise when Trippier had a poor start to the season for Tottenham.
The 28 year-old’s crossing ability and superb set pieces were a major component of England’s success, but his defensive deficiencies have been cruelly exposed this season.

After losing his place to the ever-improving Serge Aurier, Trippier got the nod against Southampton thanks to Aurier’s poor derby display.
The England star is excellent as a wing-back with three centre backs behind him, but he struggles to fulfil his defensive responsibilities in a back four, and that was clear to see on Wednesday night despite the 3-1 win.
