His crossing needs a bit of work, but Aurier is really showing how much of an important outlet he is. But it's not just running on to the ball, its to his feet as well

Some elevation on those crosses please.

I think it's just an issue with our right side in general. Have we had a good crosser there since Anderton? Trippier could have been the answer but this season has been tough for him

Carr was a good crosser

His crossing is okay, could use some elevation but if he's getting an assist every odd game then I'll take that. I'm so impressed by his passing though, dude is great on both his left and right feet. He created the eriksen goal as well, with the left footed pass in to kane, then the run down the line and the first time pass off to sonny. Really opened the defence up with his movement and willingness to take a calculated risk.

Davies?

But yeah I think I'm just emphasising your point having to go back that far!

Aurier is clearly first choice now as we expected after a few months of being coached by Poch.

Bentley had a lovely delivery. Shame about everything else.

This is still only his first season, without a pre season under Poch. I think he will be an animal next year. I really like that he plays with a smile on his face and his distribution is better than a lot give him credit for. He has such calmness on the ball.

I'd also say he's pretty good in the air. Got an incredible leap on him and his timing is very good. Definite upgrade on Trippier in that respect, and Walker too.

He was a lot more confident when playing in France. He'd regularly get the ball in the attacking third and just drive at his opponent, where as here he's still laying it off a lot more. Tells me he's still working his way into this team and league before he feels truly comfortable.

He’s needs to work on his crossing but it’s much better than Walker’s ever was - he’s able to whip it in on the run for starters.

I like the guy. By the end of the season I have no doubt he’ll be our undisputed first choice.

Work in motion. Some nice touches, brings something positive to the team which is what one would expect from new signings.

He's showing improvement, how high that ceiling is?. Doing alright and heading in the right direction.
