I was all for giving him the benefit of the doubt going into season 2 but after that debut... Rewatching that cut up was interesting. Sucks we went from the best RB in the league to having 3 to juggle all of which have question marks.
There are a lot of negative things you can say about Aurier, but being technically poor is not one of them
Kyle Walker has question marks.
That being said, would like to see Trippier and KWP with the nod and Aurier being sold asap

Oh look, he's mentioning Kyle Walker again. Tell us about not having a HG goalkeeper now.

Be thankful it wasn't Aurier. Based on the pitch, he'd have run you down, reversed over you, got out to give you resuscitation and instead committed a foul throw. Then Sissoko would have followed along and kicked you in the head, when he'd meant to support it.KWP > Aurier
Crazy fact: KWP lived like a 20 second walk away from me, bumped into him during a driving lesson lol, he pulled up in a benz. Seems like a decent guy, hope he gets some PL game time this season.

Bullcrap.
Napoli rumours also bullcrap - I guarantee it.
Any club with any sort of scouting setup knows this guy would cost them many points over the course of a season.
Aurier put in a fantastic cross for the goal, but almost cost us 3, 4, 5 goals at the back.

So many opinions on this guy from folks but when he plays well and is our best player on the night it's all crickets in here. Other players can be shit for whole seasons but when they pick their nose the right way they become world class and certain folks can't stop chirping about it. Weird dynamic.

I'd imagine it has to do with the thread being buried a few pages back. Anyways, thats the game we all knew/thought he was capable of. That was how he played in that first game against Dortmund. He has all the ability to be a fantastic player, it's all about focus.
His best is better than Trippiers and I'd like for him to get the opportunity to grow on that performance. As someone said a few days ago, no other top defenses rotate their fullbacks like we do. Let Serge and Rose get a run of games together and see what dynamic the added speed on the field can do to help us. We are painfully slow when we play Trippier and Davies.

Hindsight is always 20/20. We were all pretty excited about Serge and most would have been scared going into the season with Tripps and KWP.

Was difficult, I remember KWP had a great game vs Newcastle then was dropped for Chelsea and Trips was woeful and I was desp for a signing. I also thought Aurier looked like he would be world class vs dortmund, did his little duck down turn right infront of me, I'd love for him to kick on but I'm concerned about another year of wasting KWP.
if Trippier had started the season the way he had ended the last (ie at his highest level)....Poch and co may have taken a second look at things and decided to go with KT as first choice and KWP as back up....if it could be done all over again those funds would surely have been saved and spent on, for eg, Ndombele
