He misplaced a pass in the middle of the first half which lead to a City chance. Do you not remember?
Come on. I'm sure you do. You remember all of Auriers.
so you do think aurier adds more value to the team than sissoko in big games?
He certainly did today.
Fuckin hell did we just watch the same game, do you have eyes
Aurier's mistake (ended in De Bruyne's shoot from outside the box, at minute 50) came immediately after a very good defensive action - Torres tried to get in behind him, Aurier spotted the run and recovered well; there was still some space left for a cross, so he blocked that space without actually touching the ball (or Torres). It was an energetic and intelligent move... But then he got the ball seconds after - without any time to stop and think about what to do next, in a safe manner - and his brain let him (us) down.
I think it was a very symbolic mistake. Aurier shouldn't be involved in "consecutive actions". He shouldn't play three games in the same week, for example. He needs to be well prepared for every time he's on the pitch for us. And he is a good player if used correctly.
By the way: Aurier played really well against Chelsea, United and City. Say what you want about him, but Aurier is a player with a soul.

Are you counting those 2 ridiculous handballs given against Doherty as mistakes?
Bit harsh
Yesterday he was just in that zone where I fancied him to win all of his duels.
That slide tackle feint/shepherding out was symbolic of his evolution.

I’m counting the fact that he looks on skates anytime someone squares him up 1v1.
Doherty is not great, far from it. He’s been the worst of the 4 Fullbacks this season.
Regui made more (dangerous) mistakes going forward tbh. Maybe you just counted them together an blame all of it on Aurier, because youre clueless
Let's not get carried away here though. We've had him a few seasons now and he was a liability for a lot of that time.
He is number one and playing well the upgrade folk keep talking up would be a hell of a player if he is better than Aurier in every department. Can't wait to see him
Just how well did he play yesterday, I remember one foul he shouldn’t have given away, him and Sissoko were so good.
From what I’ve seen this season Doherty is no competition for Aurier, in defense or attack.
We should convince him to renew his contract based off of his performances this season.
Getting Doherty in has been a great boost to him. He's stepped up.

One of those squad players who has not complained about being out of the starting line-up and grabbed his chances with both hands.Credit when it's due, but I still think there is better player in Doherty. Needs time though, but Aurier definitely stepped up after he got someone to fight against for the spot in 1st eleven.
