He's quite creative with his passing and crossing, too. Actually gets his head up which is nice. Much better defender than Trippier and I think he has potential to be better going forward once he gets used to his new teammates.

He isnt that fast, was great yesterday, but still cant beat a man.

He has beaten his man numerous times since he got here, yesterday included.

His goal against Brighton was a prime example of him skilfully beating a man.

I think you can see that our other players rate him given the situations that they chose to pass to him. But its like someone else said. I wish he could beat a man by running at him instead of inviting a tackle and doing it that way.

Overall he does have something about him and im more optimistic than I was a few weeks ago

The only thing that's surprised me is pace really... I don't think he's actually that quick but think we were just spoilt with Walker, but everyone talked about how quick he was at PSG. He's been a liability at times but really happy with him overall. If he progresses like Walker and Rose did when they were making clangers he could be pretty shit hot.

He’s is pretty quick from what i saw at psg but I think he’s suffering still from not being peak fitness.

He’s definitely not walker quick but certainly no slouch.

Although he can be lazy running back.

Nobody is as quick as Walker.

I think he’s also mellowing and staying on his feet more, pochs magic wand waving over another full back starting to happen?

He is quick, not Walker quick but I can't think of many who are; Walker is obscenely fast.

Aurier is a lot faster than Davies and, more importantly, Trippier. Not sure how fast KWP is because I haven't timed how long it takes to get a chance in the first team.

If his finishing can improve i can see him getting a few goals, he seems to get in good goal scoring positions

It's Walker's acceleration which sets him apart, he's unbelievably quick off the mark which makes him so difficult to get past.

Bale is quicker than walker. There's a video of Bale, Walker and Lennon running on a counter and Bale just smokes the both of them.

Not from the physio table he isn't. I bet he's lost pace with all that bulk he's put on too.
