Thought Aurier was solid and he combined well with Sissoko to keep Werner at bay.
Chelsea kepy trying to attack on Aurier’s side in the first half and he didn’t make one mistake.

He kept Werner quiet today, that’s no easy feat.
Currently better than Doherty
Has allways been.
Also noticed that, probably Lampard read this forum instead of watching games.
Still needs Sissoko to give extra cover when Aurier goes into attack
But adding Hojbjerg has stabilised midfield and made all those around him look better as both defence and midfield are all under less pressure.
Adding Doherty has given him competition and Aurier's reacted in the right way, almost unrecognisable from the player last season, particularly under Poch. Still early days for Doherty to get back back to the form he was in at Wolves, but just his effect on Aurier has been immense and also given us 2 experienced RB's to cover that position.

Thought Serge had another very decent game this afternoon.
Maintain he's a better option that Matt 'Alan Hutton II' Doherty.

I love you as a poster my friend and I hope you don't take this personally but that is utter bollocks.
Notice most of that is in the first half - they pretty much gave up going down our right hand side when they realised they had no answer to Aurier.
Must be one of the hardest full backs to play against in this league - so strong and rarely loses a duel. Brilliant performance.
I laugh at the "Needs Sissoko to hold his hand" bollocks that gets spouted on here - especially when in EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. Doherty has played, he's had Sissoko.... that's right.... holding his hand. Just like Trippier did before Aurier.
It's how Sissoko is utilised. Regardless of our full back.
So how do you explain Aurier's change in performance from last season (and feel free tp look back throughout the thread at the many people who wanted him gone last season) to this season where, particularly in the last few games he's looked better and better and much more like the PSG we thought we bought than his brother that turned up and played at Spurs until the last few months ?
We're actually winning games, meaning less blame on him, Ndombele and *insert other scapegoat here* ?
You mean KWP is off the hook too ?
Plays for Southampton mate, ask them.
Would have played Doherty today, but Serge had yet another fine match. Loving the fact ŵe have two strong players for almost every position now.
Played in pretty much all their games so far and they seem pretty happy with him.
As a Spurs fan happy that £3m plus KWP got us Hojbjerg who may go down as signing of the season and a contender for player of the season.
He was pretty bloody impressive. Easily number one right back.
