Have we ever had a worse right back

Leave

might seem harsh but we need to be ruthless he'll always be a liability because of his mentality.

Not harsh at all he’s a complete liability

 

[allpaths]

yup we need a new LB/RB/GK/CDM and clear out a whole lot of shit.

 

[isaac94]

All got a mistake in him, get what we deserve for playing a player who has that in him

 

[BigVic]

Have we ever had a worse right back

No - he’s dreadful, anyone who says otherwise is just in denial at this stage.

Ive had enough of people thinking he has turned a corner every time he puts in an OK performance against a poor team. Accept it, HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

 

[Adam456]

It's not like we don't have choices either. We have notwithstanding occasional injuries. KWP, Foyth, Toby and Dier can all do a reasonable job there

Stalteri

Enough is enough.

I was optimistic when Aurier signed for us. He didn't start well, but 'new club / foreign country / adjustment period' etc. so you make allowances. But I think we now know he really isn't very good.

Part of the reason for the system we're playing is probably to protect the team from Aurier's defending. Mourinho wants him to rampage down the line because he can't be relied upon to defend responsibly. But it clearly isn't working. True, he's scored a goal and made one; but his crossing is generally terrible - particularly considering the amount of time and space he often gets - and he never, ever tracks back. Every time an attack breaks down on our right we are exposed to a counter because Aurier is slowly jogging back into position.

As for defending! He needlessly gave away the corner today that led to their first goal and was completely unaware of the fact that they might play a short corner. He isn't the reason that we lost today - and with a total fuck-up like Gazzaniga's when he conceded the penalty he didn't even get today's WTF award - but he certainly didn't contribute anything positive.

Aurier may, as a poster commented the other day, have all of the attributes to be a top-class defender, but he will never, ever be one. He is a sub-standard player; a liability. He has absolutely no football intelligence. He may, as is said, be a geat bloke and a good team-mate, but it's time for him to be dropped and, if possible, sold at the earliest opportunity.

 

[Nebby]

Defending a corner is not the time to have a chat with the keeper. Thick as mince and needs to be replaced this window. Sick and tired of his ineptitude.

 

[Joely]

Such a crap player. Just want him gone and out of the club.

 

[BigVic]

Time to give Foyth a run. Ive never been a fan of aurier, but i now absolutely despise his very presence.

 

[BigVic]

Stalteri

Stalteri was better than Aurier.

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Have we ever had a worse right back

Austin, Kerslake, Chimbonda... come to mind

 

[Nebby]

Austin, Kerslake, Chimbonda... come to mind

All better than Aurier.

 

[thebenjamin]

He is beyond shit. I presume whoever scouted him isn't at the club any more. Not only is he abysmal defensively, poor going forward, and unable to take a thrown in, he also has a terribly weak mentality and is unable to retain concentration. A truly appalling footballer with zero redeeming qualities.

 

[Stamford]

Stalteri was better than Aurier.

Nah. We've just improved

 

[cookiemonster]

And people here say i cant judge a footballer

 

[KikoSpurs]

Time to deploy Foyth as RB.
