I'm really not sure how we can drop Trippier after his excellent performance against Watford. I'm not Walkers biggest fan because I still think he is prone to brain fart moments at any given time and I still think his delivery from the wings is atrocious but I can admit he has had a decent season so far but Kieren Trippier and his delivery against Watford was on a different level compared to Walker. Obviously he set up the all important winner but he also worked his socks off all game. I was really impressed with him and feel he should retain his place against Everton. Thoughts?

depends on what system poch plays ( now he has got 2 ) trippier was excellent as a wing back, but maybe walker better defending

I think Trippier has had a rough ride off some fans based on very little match time, in much the same way as Carroll is getting now. I saw some interesting stats on him when we bought him and I think he was right up with the best in the league for his number of crosses into the opposition box per game, and cross accuracy.
Give the bloke a chance

I am a big trippier fan. He is a fantastic fullback and was glad we signed him in summer. As with the signing of Davies, it has forced the established fullback (walker) to up his game big time this season and he has done.
He still has brainfarts at least one a game and that will stop him from ever becoming top class but I would bring him back in for Everton
We have four very good fullbacks !

I think Trippier has been alright when I've seen him. It's nice to have another option there, but I don't think he was any better against Watford than Walker has been consistently this season. The odd fluff aside he has been superb

I normally agree with you, but Walker is miles in front of Trippier mate, although Trippier played pretty well yesterday, and is improving. I have not been that impressed with Trippiers defending in the Europa, he seems to let the wide man he is supposed to be marking free reign. But he is young, and obviously I hope he comes on in leaps and bounds.
Now if you are talking about Davies over Rose, now that is a different story. I thought Rose was very poor yesterday, and I will be surprised if Davies is not starting at Goodison.

I have to disagree totally. Ina a 5 at teh back system yesterday Trippier had virtually no defensive duties. His crossing is good but he catn go past a man to get a cross in and virtually every time he gets the ball he goes backwards.
I quite rated him when we bought him but from what I have seen so ar from him this season there is no way on gods earth he should get in the side before Walker.

In Europa League he was awful at defending, I'm sure Walker would of been a beast without as much defensive duty yesterday.

Can't drop Walker. Our best defence for me is Davies Vert Toby Walker
