What no BOOM? Ah so the entire reason Spurs aren’t in the top 4 now is because of Trippier and the only reason Athletico won the league is because of Trippier? 😂 I don't often comment on things other than Rovers on here. It is a Rovers forum after all. Pretty poor road you're going down there. As for your last bit, I've not said that all (although he would have contributed to both) . If you think Spurs selling him for £20m was good business you must be mad. A regular for the la liga champions but not good enough for Spurs? Don't think so somehow. Oh how convenient. £20m was a great piece of business by Spurs, selling on what was their back up RB and the player who was branded a liability after the WC. At the time he wasn’t good enough for Spurs, he isn’t good enough for top level PL. Literally every statistic and his career to date backs that up. But hey as you suggested - Spurs are awful now he’s left and Athletico are champions, must be because of Trippier. Don’t back away from that now

Greenwood has withdrawn from the England squad due to an underlying injury.
I believe the 26 man squad is due today

Then I'd be going ----------Henderson TAA - Walker - Maguire - Shaw -----Mount -- Henderson---- Sancho ---- Foden ---- Sterling ------------Kane Guarantee that TAA & Walker will be replaced by James & Stones respectively. Most likely Phillips to replace Henderson as well. IMO Sterling isn't good enough. I'd rather see Rashford out there. Sterling was so poor on Saturday and doesn't seem to have ever gotten over his lack of composure with decision making.

Don’t back away from that now I follow Spurs as well as rovers and trippier was shocking in that last season for us. His defensive positioning and his passing wasn’t good enough, in Spain he’s playing for a defensive manager against lesser opposition so it works. In my opinion we should take awb and Trent or James so if we play a team that’s weaker we can play Trent or James for their attacking talent and if we’re playing a strong team where we want a fullback to man mark a tough opponent we play awb as he’s are strongest right back defensively

Do you honestly think you have improved that position since he has left?

Not improved or got any worse the defence as a whole have been terrible Doherty would of been a good replacement if we played wingbacks but we don’t. I think we’ll sign a rb this summer or use foyth who just won europa league as a rb on loan at Villarreal. Tbh our fullbacks have been weak since we sold Walker and rose fell out of love with the game

Tough one between Rashford and Sterling for me as neither going into the Euros in the best form, but one of them has to start IMO to give us some pace and a threat running in behind defences (assuming the other two up top will be Kane & Foden).

He's loved for all his work he does off the pitch and he seems a lovely kid but he's overrated. Sterling and Kane have more a partnership.

You're honestly saying Trippier is the highest rated defender in La Liga? We have an actual Spurs fan who knows a lot more about Tripper than you or I and yet you still seem to know better?

I actually thought about this yesterday funnily enough after Sterling seemed pretty ineffective the other day. I'd be tempted to put Foden out wide (if he can play on the wing?) and change the line up slightly to: ----------Henderson TAA - Walker - Maguire - Shaw -----Rice -- Henderson---- Sancho ---- Mount ---- Foden ------------Kane

There's a second ballot or something happening.... Mine were through the ESTC and lost on both ballots for the groups (the only games I had tickets for). I also lost my final tickets as well - hoping I'm lucky enough to get the 2nd ballot but I won't hold my breath. Still haven't received any money back yet.

Surely you'll at least get your money back though.... Personally I've never been to an England game since England v Poland world cup qualifying for 1990 (3-0)... Got the tickets months in advance and then it conspired it was the same day rovers were away to vale in the playoff final.... Found out rovers result whilst in a traffic jam getting out of Wembley.... It was a long drive home....

So you watched him play in the Championship and have decided that he's world class based on that? You are aware he wasn't in the Prem, right? Thanks for posting a blog on Trippier, I'm well aware he's had a good season in an inferior league. Bit of a habit to base his performances in an inferior league, eh? But in all seriousness, it's a blog. Another one shows him not there: www.football-espana.net/2021/05/24/la-liga-team-of-2020-21-barcelona-and-atletico-madrid-players-dominate-side I'm not saying he hasn't done well, but to say Trippier is the highest rated defender in La Liga is utter madness

I should get the money back eventually, issue is the bank account closed and UEFA are saying they didn't get a bounce back. So its constant arguing with two incompetent organisations. It doesn't help that the bank account is abroad, from when I was living abroad..
