Kyle Walker

Yes I watched the game, Spurs won 2-1, Trippier went off injured on 83 minutes for Walker.

Trippier seems more intelligent and creative going forward, he has 5 assists in 2017 more than any other PL defender.
Walker seems slightly faster and more physical.

I suppose it depends what Pep is looking for?

Imo Trippier was always a good footballer coming forward & smarter than the likes of Walker but merely a keen defender who lacks quality & pace as well as physicality.

If you look at his performance v rags compared to when Walker came on, Matiial just running past as if he wasn't there, I believe that is what will become apparent the more he plays (if he plays, I think they will replace Walker with a new no1 fullback, not Trippier).

I actually think our own Maffeo is already a considerably better defender than Trippier but not as smart on the ball, yet.
 
When I've seen Trippier he has always looked like a player with great delivery if you give him a bit of space outside but not really a particularly good defender nor very quick.
