thought poor today, just tosses it off when trying to get back, for the 2nd goal guy ran thirty yards behind him for the overlap and a dangerous attack so slow to block the cross
I'm watching the highlights and Southamptons first two attacks are down our right flank and he is no where near the attacker just jogging back. He may produce moments of brilliance but he's still a liability. Not saying the attacks were his fault but he is no where to be found.thought poor today, just tosses it off when trying to get back, for the 2nd goal guy ran thirty yards behind him for the overlap and a dangerous attack so slow to block the cross
What some people don't understand is that Aurier probably does the most intense sprints out of all our players per 90, and plays every game. Thats truly tiring so sometimes a mf/cb has to cover for you. I'm not saying he's faultless but some over analyse every perceived mistake just to beat him. I like Aurier, think he's more than adequate, and his crossing isn't half bad. I don't think rb is a pressing issue at all.
Right backs a big issue.. we are basically playing without one when Aurier plays as he is so far up the pitch and out of the right back position a lot of the time! Pretty obvious that teams are targeting us down his side as they know they can easily get in behind him
What's he in trouble for now?
Imagine if we had a RB who the coach could actually trust to play RB... I don’t buy it for one second that Mourinho asks him not to track back. It’s not even that he’s too high up the pitch look at the screen shots, he’s around the 18. He’s just not paying attention.Following Mourinho's orders and not playing right back in the first half. Such a wild-card
