Tottenham star Serge Aurier reportedly stormed out of the stadium at half-time against Liverpool after a furious dressing down from Jose Mourinho.
The right-back was said to be furious with the way the head coach picked apart the first Liverpool goal, scored by Roberto Firmino.

Jeez... If true then what is up with these temper tantrums?! It's like watching Joan Collins in an episode of Dynasty...

If he doesn't play his cards right Serge will end up like Danny Rose. The thing is, this season I prefer Serge over Matt. But if the ego doesn't come into check, then we all know how it ends.

Aurier had Mane in an offside position in the build up. Davies was playing him onside. Lloris and Dier then managed to let Firminho score from a couple of yards out. There was more bad play before that, particularly Dier, so if Mourinho singled Aurier out he was bang out of order.

Well that depends on the instructions given.
Could be Mourinho stated not to try and play him offside, but man mark him (for example).

Its all hearsay and guess work, but surely if Mourinho was angry at Serge, then it is not (solely) because the others messed up. That said, I have no idea what the hell Dier and Lloris were thinking.

This whole story is based on him leaving the stadium at half time, if he had, someone would have seen him.

Aurier and Rodon = a weak right sided defence and was targetted. Ultimately, this is mourinho's error.
Alderweireld would have strengthened that and it should be explained why he wasn't picked.

Mourinho likes to punish the defenders who made a key mistake in his eyes, so aurier wasn't going to be playing in the near future anyway. Things will cool off.

Word on the street has it that Aurier threw an ice bucket at Lloris. Fuming, Mourinho intervened and told Serge to feck off, citing Aurier had yet again committed a foul throw.
