Reading that Southgate is going with trippier and saka as wing backs and playing three at the back, surely walker is better for that role than trippier?
But Walker is the better right CB in a back three. Surprised he's not going Alexander-Arnold, but then he couldn't possibly have two attack-minded wing-backs on the pitch at the same time. We might end up with more than four players in the opposition half, and we can't have that.

Not really as Walker’s main asset is his pace to cover. On the ball he’s bad enough on his right never mind being stuck out on the left. If he wants to prolong his career right side of a back 3 is probably his best option. I just hope it’s not with us.

That would have meant a positive starting line up
 
His form isn't good and if he faces Mbappe this time it might not end well. The Netherlands aren't great but still have a few tricky players.

Gakpo has been playing a bit off the left, and according the Dutch that's by far his best position, which is probably the reason he looks very much in form in this tournament.

Walker isn't playing well and will have his hands full with the version of Gakpo that shows up for his country and playing well.
