Tbf it’s not like he’s ever been able to find someone even when we did have someone in the box. Credit where credit is due though he does seem to have found some level of consistency in his performances, but he’s still nowhere near the level of quality needed.

What tripe! Look at his assists this season and read back what you have written
I assume you’re trolling? Aurier has 3 premier league assists this season, 2 of which have come from his absolute piss poor crossing, the other being a lay off to Dele. This despite the fact that under Mourinho, Aurier has essentially become a winger whose sole job is to cross into the box and create chances because of his absolutely ass defensive abilities.
The only one talking tripe here is you, my friend.
His crossing has lead to two goals but the crosses were “piss poor”? You can’t accept his assists without grimacing. Against Liverpool he should have had an assist with his “piss poor” crossing, yesterday he should have had another with his “piss poor” crossing. But ignore them as you will.
And it makes more sense to do that. I think people are just being dumb to not want him to cut in even when theres no target in the box and lumping it in would be pointless.
What absolute nonsense. His sole job is to cross yet he wins more tackles than any of our players per game while having 'ass defensive abilities'. Terrible opinion.
What a cracking thread by that fella!! Thanks for sharing. It will also still amazes me that confirmation bias is so strong and that people just can’t evaluate performance without any preconceived notions.
The guy wins tackles in central midfield sometimes. Some dummies then call it bad positional sense, instead of realising that he did a good thing winning the ball there and not just staying at rightback and letting someone else deal with it.
I genuinely don’t understand the stick he gets. Most driven by, I think, because he’s been sent off twiceand in one match got pinged for 2 foul throws!!!
The first pen was in Madrid to prevent an almost certain goalscoring opportunity, I’ve no problem with this as they could have missed the pen. I can’t remember the other??
His two yellows against West Ham(?) were deserved. His 2 yellows against Southampton were not, the 2nd yellow wasn’t a yellow as Bertrand dived to get him booked. Foul throws who the fuck really gives a shit? Almost all foul throws are never picked up.
We can get a better RB than him but seriously we have some far more pressing issues that need addressing in this team than him.
Quality over quantity, innit.
Crossing is one of the least productive ways to score, very low percentage. Whilst they are important to the teams variety of attack few goals are scored (as a percentage attempted) from them.
Having said thia, so as someone who hates them, his crossing is one of the best I’ve seen at Spurs! Again,this is tempered by the context of percentage of return, someone posted last week that his accuracy is higher to that of Alexander-Arnold's!!!! (The reason why there’s distortion is everyone is focused on the goals scored from his crosses, NOT the volume he attempts).
Mate, if you look back at my previous posts re: Aurier, you would see I have been one of his biggest supporters throughout his time here, but there’s only so long you can go on trying to convince yourself he’s good enough. Fans accepting mediocrity from the likes of Aurier even though you know deep down they wouldn’t get within an asses roar of any of the top teams with real genuine aspirations is a big problem.
I forgot I was a member lol and would just read through threads then tried to sign up and it said I already had an account. Doesn’t make my point any less valid.
Who are your top 6 right backs in the league that are better? Then we can analyse
Are you honestly trying to say that TAA, Walker, Cancelo, AWB, Azpiliqueta are not better than Aurier? And that’s only the top 6, The majority of top half teams right backs are better. (Pereira, Doherty, Aarons etc are all better)
And I genuinely don’t have an agenda against the guy either, I’m just spitting facts.
Seems many are keen on the one at who's bottom of the league.
"It's a funny ol' game"
Same people wondering why we are so crap and the manager can’t help the team, lauding the fuck out of Aurier
I’ll give you that one, ‘fixxSeems many are keen on the one at who's bottom of the league.
"It's a funny ol' game"
For the record though, I do think Aarons is excellent and hope we sign him.
