For what it's worth, I don't think Walker has been anywhere near as effective this season as he was the previous two.
not for us, anyway.

Remind me how brilliant Walker was in his first season for us? Give Aurier a chance, as in an actual pre-season with the team and a run of games before writing him off.
Because for his first year with us, and indeed his second year with us, he wasn't good enough to even be near our first XI.he was in the PFA team of the year 2011/12 which was his first season with us as a first-teamer.

And Aurier's a troubled lad, who's been with us less than a season, seemingly buckled down well and tried his best. He deserves our support and there's no reason to think he won't improve next season. It's very rare for a player to sign and instantly become the best in the league in their position.he was 19 and on loan.

He's not been that bad. And Poche himself is on the record as saying that having a full pre-season with the squad is very important, that our January purchases were made with next season in mind offering the players these few months to adapt etc. Let's at least give Aurier that rather than chucking him under the bus because he's not matched some ludicrous expectations of immediately being better than Walker. Especially when vast swathes of our first team squad - Lloris, Rose, Lamela and Dembele particularly come to mind - have at various points been written off as shit when it turns out they're anything but.Top 19 would be a start though.
To be fair he got young player of the year in his first season with us in the first team and was 5 or 6 years younger than Aurier. Not to say Aurier wont improve but the comparison wasn't great.Remind me how brilliant Walker was in his first season for us?

It's not real dude, like no-one's gonna sit there and think 'if I play Aguero as a winger he's unlikely to track back and pick up the full back or cover his man' it's just pure fantasy stuff which isn't meant to be taken that seriously.

It still does a complete disservice to every defensive midfielder in the league to ignore them because you're trying to pack the team full of glamour players

Why is Aguero in there?
