Sanchez definitely at fault there too. No need for him to dash on from RCB. That has to be Alderweireld’s zone to come if he wants. In fact Sanchez is most to blame then Aurier for not covering.
Thought this was a decent way to see the OG
My last reply, my point is the same. If Aurier rushed towards the centre attacker, the attacker on the right will have free passage towards the goal. So the mistake happened when our cm and cb got dragged out of position. Aurier was left with two Norwich forward to content with so he loses whichever choice he picked. To blame him for the goal is itself a joke.Don't move the goalposts, your initial argument was about Aurier not covering the player who was wide and I said he should have come across, look at the graphic he's the last man ffs lol
You bringing up Sanchez and Ndombele (I think) is a different argument altogether, besides Sanchez didn't cover himself in glory - I already said that but Aurier has to spot the danger quicker and move across.

If Aurier did as you suggested, rushing towards Pukki, the right player would have made a dash towards our goal. That attacker did not rushed towards our goal because Aurier was trying to keep himself in a position to close down Pukki or the right attacker for as long as possible. The fault does not lie with Aurier because your assumption that Pukki was more likely to score is simply not true in professional football. Anyone player with a free shot close to goal will have equally high chance of scoring. Hence I disagree with your insistent that Aurier should rushed towards Pukki right away.Here we go again...let me ask you are you actually reading my posts or are you following this debate?
Look back, we're having a debate about Aurier's awareness or lack of not whether he should be blamed entirely for the goal - I already admitted that Sanchez didn't cover himself in glory. You said earlier and you said it again that had he came across he would have left the other player free and whilst that's true it would have been a more sensible as the other player was in a less dangerous position as opposed to Pukki, it's basic common sense.
Look at the graphic it couldn't have been illustrated any better, the wide player would have had to cross it or at best get a shot off at that angle which had far less chance of going in.

The Tottenham defender isn’t terrible. In fact, he’s perhaps the best of a bad lot when it comes to Mourinho’s right-back options.
But there’s always something going on with Aurier. Sometimes he gets forward and creates, like he did at Middlesbrough on Sunday. Too often though, Aurier catches the eye for the wrong reason. Whether he’s caught out of position or ambling back towards it, the former PSG star is an exasperating presence in an infuriating defence.
Spurs should have replaced Kieran Trippier in the summer and had they done so, Aurier would almost certainly have been moved on too. Mourinho is hoping they right that wrong this month but he would be advised not to hold his breath. Daniel Levy, innit.
