Other than a win, the other thing I really wanted to see yesterday was Aurier claim the RB position as his own and he certainly did that.. What seemed a problem has hopefully been resolved by a great performance..
Anyone else in the Billy Nic yesterday? Saw that Chris Cowlin dude interviewing people.
Why is everyone forgetting why Aurier found it hard to get games? Some of you worry me.
He played that game without anyone to mark and under no pressure at all.
His "goal" was a poor cross into a tight pack of players that got lucky, and his cross to Sonny was either a piece of Hoddle like perception or a massively over hit cross.
He does have some great skills in his locker but unless he has had some massive epiphany he is a poor defender when under pressure who has a history of panic induced brain farts.
I think we should view his performance with a degree of caution, and not get too carried away with it.

You know it's been a great result when it's the day after and the match thread is just 53 pages long.
That's unfair BillyChrist almighty Mick.. Do you ever smile or get remotely excited.??
RB has been an issue but to see a performance like that from Aurier must have been just a tincy wincy bit pleasing..
Go and knock one out ffs..
Sammy you are the biggest critic of players you perceive to be under performing, and I didn't criticise what Aurier did yesterday, just advocated caution given the circumstances.So weird that when a non favorite does something well, it’s a “lucky punt into the box”.
Surely any player playing well, who hasn’t been very good should give hope, rather than accusations of poor play that got lucky.
For someone who hasn’t played with the first team in what? 8 months? Fuck knows, I genuinely can’t remember, he made a very strong comeback.
He’s not my favorite, but he gave me hope in both himself and the manager for picking him yesterday. Nothing but positive on that front.

I never want players to fail, and have shown that I'm just as happy to support players I dont particularly rate when they step up.
If this is the start of Aurier doing a "Sissoko" then I'll be on here banging the Serge cymbals and chanting his name
Yeah, where were you yesterday? This is your first post in this thread FFS.You know it's been a great result when it's the day after and the match thread is just 53 pages long.
Probably seen most of the Spurs motd appearances since the first at West Ham in 1964, today one of the best.So looking forward to MOTD ....on in ten minutes.... can't wait. COYS !
He was given all the time and space in the world to do so. If he can do that and keep Sterling, Salah etc etc in his sights then I'll be as enthusiastic as everyone elseYes, I do criticise players that underperform.....just not when they play well
