Well he isnt going to start for a reason? Rumours were he wasnt actually going to make the squad from about 6 weeks back as well before he exploded back in form.
Trippier has 7 assists this season as well and he doesnt take set pieces while playing for a side leading La Liga in a defensively better set up while playing a lot better for England than Trent has. Why would Trent get ahead of him? Because hes had decent 6 weeks? Plus how many games will you actually be pegging sides back in anyway? You cant bring on a 3rd choice right back in edgey games to gain little offensively and suffer defensively imo.
Trippier is quality
but Trent at his best trumps Trippier hands down by quite some way, Trents best is a class above Trippiers
Trent is by far the better “all round player”
He might not be king of just defending but all round, he is good at it though and offers a lot in attack
he’s not had his best season yet he’s got 2 league goals and 7 assists to his name to Trippiers 6 league assists
game time for England is limited in comparison to Club game time, obviously
so form for your Club is a major factor in wether you are selected or not, Trents form is back and he’s looking really good again, maybe not at his best yet but he’s in good form considering the season him and the Club have had
There is good competition for this position though from players that have had a more consistent season than Trent
but I’ll disagree with anyone that tells me our other options are better than Trent at his best, they just aren’t
I’ll admit consistency is what will make this a difficult decision
not his quality
