Without Shaw effectively playing as a left winger, we’d arguably be better with Gordon on the left than Phil. Phil will only be able to shine with Shaw playing left wing as it frees him that little bit more. I’d expect Gordon for Phil at some point in the second half, with Trippier then staying deeper.
I fully agree.. as much as I hate to want a rag.. Phil will have a great tournament if we can get the burger boy fit. Trippier makes the left obsolete.
