I think Poch needs to make a decision on who is his first choice full back (both sides really) and the stick with them for the rest of the season with minimal rotation. Then we will see how good Aurier can be. Like you say it is his first season so plenty of upside still.

There is no real need for us to rotate full backs for the rest of the season

Aurier and Rose need a run of games. If they get them they'll clean a lot of this crap up. They can do things Davies and Trippier just can't.
Think your being very kind to aurier. For me hes played plenty of games recently.only improvement ive seen is him staying on his feet more.

Sky sports pitch said reporter had a quick word with Poch who apparently thinks it could be ankle ligament damage but not sure.

I thought Rose got better as the half went on. The main issue with him currently is that he isn't at that high intensity/urgency which got him to the top of the left back tree. Whether that's due to missing a year of football, or his mindset, I'll leave up to others to decide....

An awful lot of medical professionals on here...

No one, not even the medics, will know the extent of the injury until a full suite of scans are complete.

Looking at it live, ankle rolled to the outside so to whatever extent his atf and cf will have opened up. But we can’t possible guess. Either way very concerning

For Goodness sake - it's not EITHER/OR - we need 4 quality fullbacks rotating.

This shit fight is pointless.

Well, I think he has made that decision. It seems to me that he thinks its Trippier and Davies. For me, it's probably Aurier and Davies. Rose must surely be 2nd choice.

Dreadful start to the 2nd half. Lamela given it away 3 times in first minute and shocking clearance from sanchez
