Kieran Trippier

Actual Rating: 77

I can’t lie to my readers. When I saw that Trippier was rated as a 77 I was pretty shocked. He’s a nice Premier League backup, but I don’t think he’s fit to start at a club like Spurs.

He just isn’t athletic enough to really thrive under Pochettino. I suppose most players look slow when you’re comparing them to Kyle Walker, but Trippier just doesn’t show that same drive up the pitch.

On the plus side for Trippier, he is an excellent crosser of the ball. During matches when Spurs dominate possession, he can be a real weapon. I can only assume that’s why he scored the rating he did. Needless to say, I thought it was optimistic.

My Rating: 74
