Rose was injured and having checked the fixtures around that time Davies wasn't in the squad the weekend before that Liverpool game either so he must have been out too, Verts was LB home to Bournemouth. So it appears to have been a toss-up between Verts or Aurier vs. Salah and the right choice in that circumstance was made.If memory serves me right I remember some rumbles about Aurier playing left back at the time because of his pace so it would nullify Liverpool and Salahs counter attack.
Was Davies & Rose injured or not available at the time? I honestly can't remember but I do recall talk of Aurier being best pace wise to square up to Salah on our left hand side
