Aurier was not good against United though, he just wasn't challenged because they went down to 10 men so early so weren't able to exploit the space he left wide open by drifting into the middle of field, not running back in defense and tuning out of the game to chase butterflies.
Doherty against Everton was much better than any game Aurier has had this season.
He got an assist and a goal. That absolutely makes it a better performance than the woeful Doherty performance against Everton. Where he was time and time again bullied by Richarlison
He had a goal when the game was a blow out and an assist that was 100% due to the goal scorer not anything he did.
Doherty at least created chances on his own not relying on others. Both were weak defensively in every game they have played. Doherty at least works hard and cuts out some chances, Aurier doesn't work and gives away free kicks like candy.
I want Serge to do well.
But he is as brain dead as they come. Giving afree kick in that area with 1 or 2 mins on the clock. Jesus wept. Cost us the game.

Not sure he did much wrong there. It's never a free kick.
Its a free kick. Same free kick he gives away every time. You cannot tackle from behind.
You have to jockey
He didn't foul anyone. It's a very poor decision.
Is that video to show that no foul should be given? It looks soft but there is zero reason for Serge to keep pushing like that. Let the ball roll out and we are fine.
I think if it was the first time maybe people would give him the benefit of the doubt but if he plays that correct there is no chance for the ref to give a soft foul and way too often he needless creates plays like that.
Also, why is he giving away the ball in that situation. He is way to casual with the ball in situations like that that get him into trouble.
His touch was poor, the other player got his body in the way and Serge stuck a foot out. Its a free kick.
Doherty keeps getting caught out of position, doesn’t have the necessary pace to get back and seems to have a ball-magnet for an arm.
Similarly ‘not impressive’ players, but Serge is a bit faster so gets my vote right now (but may be due Doherty to replace following today)...
He should've lamped it up the pitch. Way too casual on the ball allowing Snodgrass time to nip in. Foul or not I don't really know or care tbh.
Other than that I thought he played well.

Rubbish, he tried to jockey, the player tripped. It wasn't a 'tackle' from behind as you're claiming.
You can have a go at Serge for many things but i'll bet most people who've actually played football don't think that's a free kick and it's a poor refereeing decision.
100pc. He made the refs mind up by attempting to tackle from behind. Just jockey and see it out.
Hell never change. Brain dead defending as usual.
He stuck his leg out. Its enough for a free kick.
I bet ive played a higher level than you. So pipe down. I also played full back. So I kinda know what Im talking about here. Its a daft tackle he didnt have to make. You can defend without putting a foot in.
Watch Hog out on the right covering him. No chance of an FK.
Aurier has given away dozens of stupid FKs in that dangerous area since he joined us.
Is why we tried to sell him.
