Serge Aurier

[the dza]

We'll see what happens, but my guess is that Poch won't mess about -- I think he'll go the way of Fazio, Stambouli, Janssen etc and get carted away fairly quick.

He could give away 3 penalties in a cup final and people would still defend him.


Why? He's runs fast.

He doesnt actually run that fast

He's always out of position.

No he isnt

His crossing is unreliable

Crossing is in it's very nature unreliable, Aurier doesn't strike me as more so than Walker or Rose

His passing is average to poor.

Nah


But people like when he makes a recovering tackle at pace.

Also like it when he intercepts and blocks off opposition runs, gets forward to stretch play, runs in behind the full back to get in to dangerous attacking positions

He's shouldn't have to make a recovering tackle he should be out of position all the time.

Recovering tackles when you're at fault initially can rightly be seen as papering over the cracks tbf



He's has been a liability all season.

No he hasnt, he started poorly and made some high profile mistakes but has actually been pretty solid during the second half of the season, as we see time after time our 'supporters' lose their brick and have zero concept of patience, same names all the time laying in to players if they don't set the world alight straight away.

Mate, what a load of absolute rubbish,..... he doesn’t run fast at all!!

Compare the amount of games they have played and the errors they have made. Aurier's error to game ratio (I just invented this stat!) must be through the roof.

His mistakes are on par with Kyle Walker

And i don’t mean to compare him to Jan on any level as jan is a fudging maestro

 

[mjc23]

I'd rather Sissoko played right back than Aurier. Is useless going forward and an absolute liability in defence.
I'm not normally one for slating our own players but I really hope we buy a decent right back and get rid of Aurier.

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

Jan fell Over on the half way line and they could have been in

Players make errors

Jan recovered each time though, like he usually does.

If we were to play 3 at the back, I think Sissoko could be an excellent wing-back.

Jan is special

I think Sissoko could have been a useful wing back in a 3-4-2-1 for us, ship has passed now though I think.

He has played there for us
Leicester away last season from memory

..and that ended quite well IIRC

Best away game I’ve ever been top performance wise

 

[Sandman]

Aurier. He loves a slide tackle. He relies on slide tackles. And its his major downfall.

best players dont need to slide in, they position and take the ball away. King, Mabbutt, Vertonghen etc etc.

you can guarantee every game he plays he will put a slide tackle in, inside the box.

Agreed but that wasn’t a tackle
It wasn’t anything
Bloke gets in front, trips over his feet and his trailing leg hits aurier

Not sure what you would call that TBH but it’s cost us

Did not see the game tonight. I am at work. But from your description it sounds like a dive to me!

He isn't useless going forward at all, you can make the argument his end product is useless, id personally describe it as hit and miss, but his actual all-round attacking play is pretty good imo - it doesn't really help when he's playing off of Sissoko whose passing is very patchy at the best of times but he moves off the ball well and always finds space, can beat a man and gets in behind his full back quite regularly - i think he shows reasonable promise here and a regular run of games in the first team would see some better interplay and probably an upturn in productivity too - of course he hasn't really done enough to oust Trippier so he won't be getting that run of games until next season you'd have to say

Wasn’t a dive though either IMO...

Sounds daft but at best it was a player just falling

I think his end product has to improve

His crossing is really poor

had he stayed upright he'd have had a great opportunity

 

[billyiddo]

Of course it has to improve but when the bulk of your games are coming in matches like these in sides that are disjointed it's hard to find that rhythm - just look at how our stars in attack played today...
