He's positioning can't be any worse than what we've just witnessed.Yeah because Sanchez’s positioning is top notch

Our midfield work bloody hard when you think about it they really get through a lot of work. People are so in love with Toby and Jan they have pulled to wool over so many peoples eyes of late....they are playing without commitment imo and are far too slow.Midfield mate. I keep beating this drum. But our defense is crazy exposed atm. No signing will sort that out.
Tripps would get murdered also in that game.never thought Id say this but I wish we'd kept Tripps.

Tripps would've done what he always did point.maybe, but he has some basic discipline. you know what you're getting. with Serge its "place your bets!".
They work hard, but they leave massive spaces infront of the defense. Running around a lot making tackles is not protecting your defense. Rather, covering defenders when they need, blocking passing channels, knowing when to press a player and when to stand off him all are. A good DM marks 'space' not players. A good DM is in a position to block and put pressure on players trying to shoot a ball out from 30 yards. An exposed defense is always a bad defense.Our midfield work bloody hard when you think about it they really get through a lot of work.

Tripps is looking super solid at Atletico Madrid right now. Getting rave reviews and defending well.Tripps would've done what he always did point.
To add to what I'm saying. I think Carrick here explains what 'protecting the back four' really means. Notice that running around a lot and making tackles are not something he mentions much.Our midfield work bloody hard when you think about it they really get through a lot of work.

We should sticky this post to the home page of the forum. A-fucking-men.They work hard, but they leave massive spaces infront of the defense.

People always blame players who are in one on ones, etc etc. but rarely think how these situations emerge to begin with. Time after time Bayern were given way too much space outside the box. They took advantage with great finishing. I have no doubt in my mind that Maldini and Nesta would have looked crap were they playing last night.
Working hard is not protecting the defense.
Rubbish. Yes our system means that our back line is often exposed, but there’s no excusing yet another totally inept performance from Aurier. His positional play was pathetic. When you’re matched against a player who is clearly faster than you, you don’t continually follow him across the half way line. He contributed to four of the seven last night.If you think that he is the reason that we shipped seven goals then you are misguided. Put any right back in that team last night and the result would have been the same. Giving the ball away in midfield, central defenders being too slow to close down any shots on goal leaving Lloris exposed.
Let's be fair that wasn't all down to Aurier...yes he was exposed by pace and wasn't really given any protection, there were far to many other mistakes as well you could even blame son for poor finishing compared to BM.Rubbish.

I urge you to watch this video. When you pause at 0:44 Aurier is in a decent position. He moves up, either following the ball or trying to play offside. At 0.47 Gnabry is somehow well in front of Aurier. Aurier then chases a little bit before dramatically dropping his pace as Verts i think tries to cover. Rose also sensing the danger tries to cover. At this moment Aurier has two option. Chase Gnabry, or try and cover the striker (who is not in a particularly dangerous position. He does neither and ends up well behind the play as he jogs towards the goal. The thing is if he continues running, he still has a decent chance. Think about how close Rose gets to him compared to his starting position. On top of that, the ball actually is heading towards a more central position. Where he to go full pace he might get the chance to at least get the chance of landing a whisker on him, but rather he quite literally watches the flight of the ball land near Gnabry.
Fow what it's worth in Gnabry's other three goals Aurier is knowhere to be seen. The only one of the back four not to be there. I don't know where Aurier was before. But it's how the highlights are clipped.
He was signed because he was cheap. Somebody mrntioned Levy missed on Ricardo Pereira trying to get him on the cheap.Told everyone here he is shit the day we bought him
He is the same reckless imbecile throughout his whole career
If i know that... how come the person who scouted him doesn't
