Fucking hell, what peanuts have you been munching on?!
If Aurier had any sort of brain, football intelligence, then it would be. Physically he has all the tools to be a top full-back, but everything else he's League Two level unfortunately.

People say this, but he gets beaten for pace all the time and never wins a header.
He's good at finding space when we're in possession and making attacking runs, though part of that is no one is ever paying much attention to marking him. And one in fifty crosses from him is a jewel. That's about it.
He's pretty strong and has a good engine. He's not lighting fast, or close, but he's quicker than a lot of other full-backs in the Premier League. His issue is that he's almost brainless at times.
A good engine is true, and honestly maybe his best trait is that no matter how much he fucks up he never stops playing or puts his head down, but athletically he's nothing resembling a Kyle Walker. Walker's pace and athleticism gave him the ability to frequently outrun his mistakes. Aurier does not have that.
All you do daily is defend him on here - literally. So stands to reason you're very much in favour of the current state of affairs
Number of clubs have gone on record saying he's a cunt and they rather not - none of that is made up
Never wins a header? Do you even watch the matches?
Again, that’s literally not true. I post other stuff too. Call me a twat and say you don’t respect my opinion or agree with me and that’s fine.
If a number of clubs won’t deal with us, who are they? I’ve looked and can’t find any, but you must be able to back it up or you would t keep banging the drum. So the floor is yours. Post a few and I’ll admit that I’m wrong.
I wouldn’t say he gets beaten for pace often. He’s not prime Kyle Walker but he’s moderately fast for a RB and fairly strong. Most of the time he gets beat due to being out of position.
Disagree, he's pretty good in the air actually.
He's not rapid but he's not a snail like Doherty either.
His problem is just complete brain dead moments of which he has a minimum of one per game which often lead to goalscoring chances.
I dunno man, pacey wing players blow by him effortlessly. He is clearly slower than Reguilon, for instance.
I feel like he has some of the Sissoko/Lamela thing going on where a penchant for energetic forward dribbling hides a lack of pace in doing so.
Sonny and Lucas notwithstanding, this is not a quick squad overall. Kane mincing around like a Scooby Doo villain is faster than most of our team.
You fucking Twat!
Didn't we have to agree with Aulas (Lyon President) that when we bought Ndombele 2 years ago that we would step aside from trying to get Anderson from Sampdoria so they could buy him?
Sorry posted the same reply 2 days later
No absolutely no one any where is physically Kyle Walker he is a mutant we should never have sold him. Rose should have gone
And Nyambe. Both improve us
Here are Andersen's lowlights v Leeds. That was the worst I have seen him play.
Very much inspired by

's efforts last summer I did a Hojbjerg lowlights vid when we were linked:RE: Hojbjerg
Just to add weight to the ones
Five
posted, here are the bits from the Arse game I flagged up in the other match thread:First sequence under only moderate pressure he balloons a pass to his team mate then whacks it at another team mate he's so scared of it exploding in his face.
Then next sequence twice in quick succession he has the chance to turn forwards but just bunts it backwards putting his defender under pressure and results in a goal
Third sequence, defender bringing it out, looks for Hojbjerg, who's in space, to take it off him, Hojbjerg doesn't even look to see if he can take it, just too worried in case he is marked (he isn't) so stands there pointing (where have we seen that before) for the CB to go backwards unnecessarily
All stuff we've seen plenty of this season
What kind of kebab?
