Hope the injury sustained is serious. "Luckily" for us, he's banned for 2 games. I feel confident that KWP will do good against Aston Villa and Man City
Kwp is not ready to mark Sterling, defensively he is not ready, last night he defends too narrow and leaves too much space for the winger

That's open to debate. I'd argue he can do a better job than Trippier has done against Sterling or Sane in recent seasons.

Personally I'd prefer Aurier to be given the starting job if Foyth is out long term.

imo he is. Or tell me this; when's the time for him if not now?

He needs a season on loan, just like Walker did, fine starting him, but at what point do you allow for errors, if they drop him and lower his confidence, may be a few years back would be fine when we were finishing 7th at best, but more on the line now with champions league positions at stake

Foyth would be a good fill in at RB to some, is that a serious ? Foyth has no pace, when he gets beat he grabs and fouls, not what we want, rotate KWP or Aurier, if we play foyth at RB we deserve whatever we get. no everything is not about pace but it helps 100%.

He isn't slow either and you don't necessarily need pace to go past a man. He's gone on a few runs where he just glides past his man. For me it's more about what he does with the ball when he gets into forward positions. We'll have to wait and see how he does in that regard. And as long as he doesn't get booked for his fouls I don't really see the problem there. Clubs like City often foul to breaking up the the oppositions play.

We all said he should of been loaned last season/season and half a go but poch decided to keep him so now hes got to play him to get that experience, the time for a loan has sailed.

Yes he will make mistakes, which he will learn from... but why shouldnt be allowed to make them? Weve allowed our 'experienced' ones to make them week in week out for the last 6 years.

Foyth is Argentinas #2... Im sure he could play a game or two at rightback for us aswell during the upcoming season...

If we do not want to spend a transfer fee on this position i really think we should look at Dani Alves.... Yes his wages will be very high but he is a born winner and won things at every club and still done a very good job at Copa America i think he even got player of the comp!

Aurier needs a run of games I’ve said it for ages. I mean a proper run of games, no rotation. 10/15 consecutive matches to nail down the starting spot. He hasn’t had that since he’s been here. We’ve no idea how he will settle down because he hasn’t been given the chance because of rotation or injuries. Same goes for KWP to an extent.

I've been saying this for ages - some (many?) people have written him off based on very limited evidence. The same kind of thing has happened with GKN.

I totally agree with you to be honest, but atm it does not seems like we're bringing in a RB just with a week to go and the end of the transfer window, so KWP just has to do by now

I like aurier and needs to play a solid run of games... When he returns there are no excuses not to play him for a few games

I think when he has a run he plays well

Kwp I am impressed with him finding space and really pushing up..

The problem is Aurier's never healthy.

I dont think he is never healthy i just think when he has been healthy, Poch has rotated him particularly after decent performances. Then obviously he gets injured which is annoying...

This is a hand injury i think... so he should be back soon i think..
