He is exactly the type of player Poch wanted out when he first came to the Club. A great player on paper, attribute wise. Quick, agile, aggressive.

His personality is horrible though. A ****. No desire to improve it seems. Positioning is something everyone can learn if the will is there. It's not, and he's poor. An Adebayor-type figure. First to get to his teamate to dance, last to pull his socks up and fight (unless it's an actual fight).

Send him away, he's terrible.
That is a terrible stereotype. Son for example loves a handshake and since we're all blaming how poor was Son finishing compared to BM.

The formation didn't help our full backs at all it was one ball over the top or a simple one two to expose them. I was screaming at our CB to get hold of the situation but when you have a pairing of Toby and Jan who have no real pace or commitment I felt a bit for Aurier he needed help.

I'm not saying he's shit because of the dancing. I'm saying he's shit, and he dances. It's not very difficult, please read posts before answering. It's already a difficult morning.

Son has shown up for us time and again. A few missed chances won't make me turn on him.

Watching the goals back the goals were not solely Aurier's fault. There's a lot people with agendas here. We had plenty of chances to shut down shots. They were shooting from everywhere and nobody close to them. Eg. The second Bayern goal, Verts got done first and also had the opportunity to get close to Lewandowski, but his attempt at a block was feeble. But people are somehow blaming Aurier for it.

Yeah........nah.........let's not play this bloke any more. I've always thought that first & foremost, a defender should be good at defending. He isn't, therefore shouldn't be playing for a club of our stature.

Foyth all day long please.

At PSG, he looked quality one game and the next game a red card waiting to happen.

When we signed him, I was willing to give him a chance, he seemed like he wanted to prove a point and show PSG they were wrong to sell him.....hes not improved at all since being here. Exact same player, 1 game where he looks quality then a red card/rash decisions in the next game. Last night he was bad but the whole team were as well. He is not good enough for us because he has no desire to learn the position or the tactics of the team, he just wants to go out and play his game. I also felt perhaps he would mature a little when we bought him but that hasn't happened either.

If you think that he is the reason that we shipped seven goals then you are misguided. Put any right back in that team last night and the result would have been the same. Giving the ball away in midfield, central defenders being too slow to close down any shots on goal leaving Lloris exposed.
Come on he was a huge factor (not the only one), his direct competitor and the man he was meant to be marking scored a hatrick...

His defence awareness is quite frankly just shite. His athleticism will work well against teams like Crystal Palace but he's simply not good enough to be trusted defensively when we're up against better teams.

A mate of mine texted me towards the end of the match to say 'Your right backs a liability'.

He's a QPR fan who played to a decent level and is a good judge of player. He could have singled out any player as he is totally neutral but having watched the game he picked out Aurier.

Meanwhile...

This was the fella we were strongly linked with when Walker rumblings first started, how the cook did he end up at Leicester and we ended up with madman Aurier? ?‍♂️

What is wrong with our scouting in recent times?

Whoever recommend him ought to be sacked

A simple check should be enough to recognize that here is a player who is more interested in learning the latest hip hop dance than in actual defending

It was easy to single Aurier out all the pundits did , Plus Gnabry scored 4 but you look at the whole performance how Aurier gets total blame is not right people need to be fair.

What we need is a top quality DM to protect the CBs even when our FBs are caught out of position. We had that when Wanyama was at the top of his game.

Get a quality DM in Jan or next summer and a major part of our defensive problems will be sorted. Then we can look for replacements for RB and our ageing CBs .

I am glad Aurier could not play today. Wonder who the cry babies are going to pile the blame on this time.
