For defenders it seems to take a while to shake that perception.Oddly enough he’s still commented on by fans and pundits as our weak link.

starting to think calling him out for making Jose scared may have actually worked.Has Mourinho done the unthinkable and actually made Serge a competent defender?
On the evidence of this season, he’s a very good right back, and certainly the best at the club.

It's generally not a good idea to call players out In front of everyone else, especially players who have a history like Aurier.
However, he seems to have taken it on board with a point to prove and improved his focus in the game.
Jose definitely knows how to push the right buttons
He also clearly has a very strong partnership and friendship with Sissoko, and Sissoko definitely plays more to the right than PEH, which helps a lot with covering Serge's runs.
Yeah, he didn’t have the stamina/speed to replicate what Walker could do in running the flank all game. Letting him sit back most of the game and venturing forward every so often has been the right mixture.I think because he doesnt venture forward as much he is looking better
Not just Doherty. The lopsided formation and asymmetric line-up asked a lot of him and was extremely unflattering for the guy. A balanced, complimentary team around him and added competition for the position means a better Aurier.
