He’s not great, it’s an area we really need to upgrade, but his stats also don’t lie. Second most assists for our team this season, most tackles, and surprisingly few mistakes which led to a goal. But people don’t like to hear it.

When you get to have about 20 crosses per game, at least 1 of them is going to eventually count as an assist. He’s f*** awful mate, end of story. TAA, now that’s what you call a fantastic Right back. Aurier is probably the worse right back in the league.
Yeah the way we are set up and play we really need mote from him
Oh and I don’t need stats to sway me on Aurier. I watch him miss control the ball and hit the opposition defender with a cross every game, that’s all I need to know. Useless, get rid.
He's a little better defensively than Trippier was last season but Trippier was better in attack than he was last season. Trippier was slaughtered last season pretty much for both areas of his play, and it was widely accepted by fans that we should replace him. That should be the case for Aurier.
No stat is more effective than using your own eyes.
When Trippier played as back up he was twice the player, used to cross first time and accurately too. Trippier wasnt quick which was his offence weakness as well as contributing to his defensive flaws.
Aurier looks a good defender when he is in position 5% of the time. But then he ruins a otherwise decent game by indirectly gifting the opposition a goal or goal scoring chance.

Exactly spurtle. Sandy hated Trippier, yet loves Aurier. I don’t get it. Trippier was awful last season and he to admitted it, but you could at least rely on Trips to put in a decent cross every now and then. Aurier barely hits in a cross to any of our players.
I'd love to know how the mistakes leading to goals is calculated. Off the top of my head he set up the Newcastle and Arsenal goals in recent weeks.
Going further back he gave away a pen Liverpool scored.
Other crazy moments include the man city pen and the ridiculous red card v saints after 30 mins. Didn't cost us anything but awful play from him.
The common theme in all these incidents is he wasn't under much pressure and created these problems himself. He has no composure and is an accident waiting to happen.

It is his positioning and number of mistakes that lead to opposition goals that are alarming.
Aurier will make 50 good tackles in a game and then a rush one in the box which the opposition will take advantage of and get a pen for
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How many mistakes has Aurier made that have directly led to goals for the opposition this season? I am not talking about 2nd, 3rd phase goals. I am talking about direct mistakes that have cost Spurs a goal.

I was proved right about Trippier though, the club sold him. Aurier is still a first pick. Tells you everything about him.
I was also proved right about cement boots as well, said he was not up to it, when everybody else said he was the best thing since sliced bread. I got that one right as well.
Hopefully I get the Winks one right as well, he is not player who should be playing for a top six club, and I expect him replaced for next season.
I will always hold up my hands if I get my assessment of any players wrong, but most times I am on the right side of history.

Don, Aurier has put in more assists than any of our midfielders this season. So yes he can cross a ball.
Aurier is very good at crossing from deep, even slightly better than Trippier was at that. However Trippier was much better at progressing play and playing good passes bypassing the midfield to the forwards.
What I always liked about Aurier more than Trippier is how he wasn’t scared to take on a defender - however it hasn’t been the case this season at all, he has been very shy regarding this.

Like I said previously mate. Try 20 crosses per game and 1 of them will eventually come off. He gets loads of opportunities to cross and wastes 95% of them. He’s not good enough mate.
These are some of Aurier's stats this season when in attack compared to Trippier the season before.
Aurier:
33 appearances
1 goal
5 assists
Big chances created - 4
Crosses - 137
Cross accuracy - 15%
Through balls - 0
Accurate long balls - 33
Trippier:
27 appearances
1 goal
3 assists
Big chances created - 8
Crosses - 185
Cross accuracy - 29%
Through balls - 3
Accurate long balls - 69
So there you have it. Trippier superior at most things in fewer appearances. But hey Aurier got a couple more assists so great.
Most damning one for me is his cross accuracy is almost half as bad as Trippier's when Trippier provided even more crosses.

Exactly what I said Spurtle. People can throw bulls^* stats all they like at me about “Aurier being the 2nd best assist player “ , but you need to look at the reasoning. Aurier gets more opportunities to cross the ball because we utilise him a lot on the right hand side ( f** knows why ) and he will get a large number of chances to cross and try to assist. 9 times out of 10 he doesn’t pull it off, but on the odd occasion he will get in a decent ball, but extremely rare. Exactly proving my point showing how poor is crossing accuracy is.
In fact that’s embarrassing. 137 crosses and only a 15% accuracy and people say I got an agenda against him.
If the primary beef is with Aurier’s attacking play and crossing, I’d love to hear what you guys would say if you had AWB at right back
He makes Antonio Valencia look like Cafu.

Aurier may well have some decent tackles won and assists stats, but he is rash, makes basic errors and has made numerous errors leading to goals. He isn`t going to improve at his age, we need a better player, he will always let us down eventually, which is no good for a team with top 4 and title ambitions.
