You need to understand the difference between anecdotal evidence and fact. The facts bare out what he says. TAA play in a system that accentuates their crossing from deep. Ergo they do it a lot. Whether that leads to actual goals is not the huge margin many imagine. We don't play like this we haven't since Walker and Rose.No one is claiming they are poor but they are NOT head and shoulders better than Aurier, Wan bissaka, Castagne, Pirera. Good proof of this is TAA, at international level he never looks quite the level player as at Pool, but its mostly just the system and of course a bit of the personnel. Modern coaches are way less obsessed with the Charles Hughes coaching handbook crosses mean goals ethos for a reason . They don't!

i dont need stats to see aurier is inferior when it comes to crossing a ball. his first 3 crosses yesterday was typical aurier. the worst thing about him is hes never even under pressure and he still cant stick a decent ball in, that is a poor player imo. auriers crossing would be comical if he wasnt a spurs player
would like to see a montage of auriers last 100 crosses...would be a comedy
Again the facts don't bare out what your saying. Saying "I see it "against an actual statistical pool is Trump level bogus. Secondly slinging in crosses from fullback is way less important than you seem to think. Thirdly the way Jose plays( this season) its even less important. But hey let's get this unicorn crossing machine fullback EPL ready they grow on trees apparently. If your argument was based on any other issue it would be worth hearing on this ( he can't cross) its empty.
Fuck me!!! WE DON"T PLAY LIKE LFC! We hardly cross at all, in fact, we are the complete opposite, we have the lowest number of crosses (200) of any team in the league (LFC have the highest 399), it's in their gameplan it's NOT in ours!!!!
according to the premier league stats hes not better...

what has playing a certain style got to do with comparing players who can cross and who cant? i said hes shit at crossing, youve said he isnt and stats say otherwise (of which you was wrong). then youve said we dont play like LFC, well when did anyone say we did or that was even relevant too a debate about which fullbacks are better crossers of the ball?? youre trying to debate that aurier is decent at crossing, youre on a hiding to nothing hes fucking atrocious at it.
From "OPEN PLAY" Aurier has assisted more goals than TAA!!! That's what was being said, read what I write before you respond. TAA takes their corners from the left and also a vast majority of their free kicks. Aurier does neither for us.

Some people arrive at a position, for whatever reason, and then start arguing from there.
If you watch Spurs since he came, you can't possibly think he's a good crosser. Trippier was better than him, and now Regui is better than him. It's not even close.
From "OPEN PLAY"!!!
was leon britton a better passer than xavi? your stat argument doesnt always tell the true picture in football..not that the stats even back you up. sometimes it helps to watch the game and when you see aurier waste 9 out of 10 good opportunities to stick a good ball in the box, you come to the conclusion that hes fucking awful at it.
appraently hes better than liverpools full backs. ive heard it all now
for good reason

Statstically Winks was also one of the most progressive passers in the league last season. Football stats are often bullshit.
yea thats a crazy one. hell make 1 forward pass every 5 if youre lucky
its actually mind blowing that theres idiots out there who can watch spurs play and think hes good at crossing.
Yeah, that's right I don't watch us play a single game, I just stare at a spreadsheet instead. Twat!
Statistically, he's a better fucking crosser from open play than TAA!!! That's all that's been said so stick that stat where the sun doesn't shine, pretend that that's not the case all you want. I don't give a fucking shit what you do with it.
Why do you think a higher % of Aurier's crosses from open play have turned into goals than TAA? (Also I probably agree with you that crossing is not his strength at all).
It seems strange to me how does these things late on though.
West Ham, Palace, Brenford and probably a few more. Why always so late? Does he burn out and need t come off?
