Player Watch: Serge Aurier

[ohtottenham!]

That first goal wasn’t Aurier’s fault it was indecisiveness by Lloris and Dier. There was plenty of time for one of them to clear it, but they seemed to leave it for each other. Dier literally let run across him.

Think it was a whole combination of errors, not helped by our formation and choice of players. Dier and Davies were slow re pushing up for offside, Serge was looking over and missed Sane getting the run behind him, and Dier and Lloris couldn't decide who would pull the Christmas cracker.

The biggest part of modern day management is keeping a group together, in a positive way.

This is another example of were this guy is failing.

Agree. Aurier is still our best RB by a country mile despite his lapses today, and Mane will do that to any defender on a given day; especially when he knows we have defensive insecurity across our whole backline.

Hope it gets sorted out, 'cause we're seriously lacking options.

We don't know anything what happened and why, and even if it's true that Serge left the stadium I can guarantee that something like this happens in every club

Again some of the posts after that piece posted my Matt Law are missing the point - he (supposedly/reportedly) left the stadium because he got subbed/had a disagreement. As a professional footballer, you don't do that, you just don't.

As for those defending him, this is him, when he's good he's good and when he's bad, he's bad. He had been more consistent this season, how long has he been here for now?

I don't think he was having either a great game or a poor game last night, and last night's villain of choice was clear from about the 5th minute. He wasn't the singular reason we conceded the first goal last night (two senior players had a major hand in that) but he was yet again part of the problem.

I'll say it again; If you can handle the heat, GTFO. Aurier is an ego. Always been. Antics and good fun and when things gets serious, he's the first to get pissed off. He was absymal yesterday and deserved being subbed. People where screaming at Doherty for being poor, but he did not cost us an easy goal like that. Way out of his depth by storming out.

Doherty cost us the second and that was far worse than aurier

Taking him off wasn't the solution imo. Not hindsight. I thought he must have been injured when they came out at HT. Did not make sense.

He made a poor mistake in the 1st minute which should have been a goal.

He let Mane run on the opener, again very poor.

Their 1st goal was a catalogue of errors though,

If you're playing a high line where was the pressure on Robertson?

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Awful performance last night but let’s not forget he was pretty much our MOTM last time we faced Liverpool. He kept Mane firmly in his pocket for the majority of the match.

 

[carpediem991]

How about we give tanganga a run at RB

He pretty much blew it versus Wycombe

 

[KikoSpurs]

Justice for Serge Aurier.

If you watch it again he points to Rodon to cover as he has two men to mark

I like him but he’s not good enough.

But.....narrative. Some people dream up things to suit their agenda.

 

[carpediem991]

He can not run away at HT though, but before he gets sacrificed or doomed we should have a look at our alternatives at RB and may find a peaceful solution...

 

[Kirito]

If Aurier isn't good enough then the entire defence aside from Toby isn't good enough!

 

[G Ron]

No way did he deserve to be the scapegoat at half time. He’s still our best Right back by some distance. Whether he can come back from this I don’t know, but we’re not in a position to start ostracising players when the alternatives are so poor.

I thought dragging Tanganga on Monday was equally harsh. I’d rather see him getting games over Doherty who I don’t want to see anywhere near the starting 11.

 

[matjcole]

He won't be seen again this season. Alonso did the same under Jose and was ousted completely.

Lampard.

They're not. This defence is mid-table. They are miles behind the Walker, young Toby, Vertonghen and Rose defence. It's by far the teams biggest problem and only a couple(at least) of new players will fix it. That defence was put together for a real bargain price and I'm just not sure doing it again as well as that is possible now.

Where was the pressure on Henderson to play the ball over the top to mane?
