I do hope the team at spurs lodge are watching KWP.
They’d have seen him lose a header to David Silva today. Pretty impressive achievement.
Also lost Jesus at the back post but was lucky he skewed what could have been a tap in.
Looked ok, but still worrisome in defense.
Norwich vs Brighton showed the level of Aarons - below average.
Opposite RB Lamptey won the man of the match, while Aarons made 2 defensive mistakes in the build of the 2 goals conceded.
If we buy Aarons after a season full of such mistakes, I would never forgive our scouting teams. There are so many full backs in market - I hope we dont settle on a defensively error prone player
He was very good all round this evening.
He got muscled off the ball by De Bruyne but that was the height of it.
Was much better looking than ok tonight lol
The thing that Aarons has that Walker-Peters doesn't is pace. You can't coach that and I think KWP's major weakness is his lack of speed and strength. He's not slow, but unlike say Kyle Walker, doesn't have the strength or recovery pace to get himself out of trouble.
That said, I'm glad KWP is getting to play for a manager like Hasenhuttl and improve his game. I don't think he'll ever be a top full back for the aforementioned reasons, but he definitely has the ability to be a solid Premier League player.

Agree. Trippier was a fantastic RWB, mainly due to the quality of his crossing and passing. At RB, his defensive frailties were exposed.I think that's a fair assessment. I'd say he is similar in many ways to Trippier who did well thanks to his technique and delivery.
How fussy are we in a position to be though ? Serious question.
Aarons & Sessegnon would have been a no brainer backup pairing if we had fullbacks like prime Walker & Rose. The issue is we need players that day 1 can step in and be starters. We know Sessegnon isn't capable of that now, with Aarons I guess we'll find out.
Nope, but I'd still take a punt on the kid if we think he has the talent to be a starting fullback.Aarons is also not capable of playing like prime Walker. Aarons is basically 20 years old Walker. Would 20 years old walker perform at the level we want now?
If we think bringing back KWP to solve our RB issues is the answer then we’re fucked. The guy is a lower to mid table PL level at best. Some people just look at him through Spurs tinted glasses because he’s “one of our own”
Im one of those
Bit I’m not convinced on Aarons. Watching him against Watford and his crossing today is even worse than Auriers
