Sanchez has really improved and I was a big critic. Aurier needs to think more. The skills are there. Jose just needs to find the on/off switch to his brain.
Re: Sanchez - Fair play.... I know you were. Some find it hard to admit these things.
Serge: He's not perfect and a bonafide upgrade would make me feel more at ease, but the way some carry on is as if he makes a fatal blunder every time he plays... He simply doesn't. Even now Dav still suffers from the same from some quarters.
I said this ages ago and my mind hasn't changed.... Aurier for me is like BAE 2.0. He was a scary, perceived risk for ages and very un-orthadox in his approach to defending; then it all clicked and he had a killer couple of seasons before losing focus and going off the boil again... Will we persevere with Serge long enough to see similar? He's hitting peak age now... Will his performances start to reflect this? ....Stay tuned.
