I wouldn't say Aurier is out of form. The opposite actually.

He just does stupid stuff.

Crazy we are in the same position as last year where Aurier plays despite the fact that we know he can do something daft at any moment.
Doherty in a back 4 has been disappointing, although I'm not surprised.
Another reason our gameplay suffers because Sissoko has to do a babysitting job on him.
 
I don't think Mourinho actually wants to park the bus against any team outside the top 4. I think we are pushed onto the back foot because are initial passing in our own third isn't good enough.

But part of that reason is that we keep picking Sissoko, who is athletic but has no technical ability. I also feel Sissoko used to have the knack of making powerful dribbles, but has lost confidence to do that now too.
Interesting point re Sissoko. I'd not really thought about it much but the defence first covering for the FB role he's playing under Mourinho has definitely stifled any bulldozing runs that we're used to seeing.

He played the same way under Pochettino too.
