Looks to be first choice now. Seems to be improving. If he can sort his crossing out he will be deadly

Needs a season to bed in properly.

Already does the main thing I want from an WB in the final third - early crosses into/across the danger zone.

Accuracy will come with confidence.

He needs to use his speed as I feel he isn't tracking back at 100% when he needs to.

Speed, power, technically good (not fantastic, but good/solid), fantastic winning mentality.

He's already cut out his sliding tackles of doom which shows he's a quick learner and is listening to Poch and taking everything on baord.

Vastly increases his chances of quickly improving as RB/RWB. Saying that, we still haven't seen the best fo what he's already capable of tbf to him.

So, be patient nd let Poch work on him.

I’m still a bit disappointed by his pace. He was billed as proper quick, but he’s not showing that at all. Still think he will be a legend for us.

When was the last time we had a right back that was so comfortable using his left foot as Aurier did to set up the 4th goal?

He is quick but not Walker quick, but then again no-one is.

Great potential just needs to beat the first
Man with his crossing and well
Have one hell of a RB on our hands.

Half Term report on Serge: Thought he would be better for us. Downgrade on Walker
Walker was erratic and prone to rash decisions early on in his career with us. He was still prone to dumb stuff in his final season with us. I believe that once we get a settled midfield it'll help him considerbaly

He's a very talented footballer. Defensive positioning needs a lot of work, as does his delivery into the box. Most of the stuff in between is pretty good. He has one glaring weakness - much like Trippier he is appalling in the air. He doesn't seem to read it through very well and gets beaten in challenges pretty much every time. If he wants to be a success in England he must sort that out or he'll continue to be targeted that way.

But its not even that. He just doesn't seem natural on the ball and you cant coach that out of someone

He does fine considering he's the shortest:
