I agree with what you are saying. I’ve said numerous times that Rose is the most improved player I’ve seen at Spurs from where he started out to how he performed at his best pre-injury. But you could tell Rose had it mentally.
His problem (and Rose has said as much) was that nobody had taught him how to be a fullback until Poch got hold of him. We then saw this drastic improvement. It’s not the same with Aurier. He’s been a fullback all his professional career. I don’t think the comparisons are similar at all.
Rose played as a full back briefly under Harry, AVB and had a full season at Sunderland.
