Of course not. Just let the guy play a few games before anointing him as the best RB in the league.
Not sure semedo or alves are top 5 in europe. Semedo is good and could be great but just because he's at barca doesn't automatically make him top 5 and I'm not sure whether he was quite good enough at benfica to put him in that category just yet. I'd consider kimmich and meunier up there. I'd even have azpilicueta (when he plays at RB) above those two. Alves has fallen off a bit imo, he wasn't that good at juve last season. I feel like I'm missing a few players too (a couple of spanish players at lower clubs). Aurier could genuinely be the best in the world if he keeps himself together, that's how highly rated he was at psg.
Handful of games being 1 game, so far he's looked very good against an elite side. He was the starting RB for PSG side that won the league and also played many CL matches, playing well against the Woolwich in Paris and then being banned from match in London. I would say on his current playing record and experience he's an upgrade on Trippier.
Totally agree. He really caught the eye and oozed class on his debut. As (long-suffering) fans are we not 'permitted' to show our enthusiasm?Come on now. Most folk will have seen him for PSG. There's no doubting the lads ability. He's fucking mustard. If you can't get excited about him as a footballer then check if you have a pulse. My only concern is that he's "highly strung". But I firmly believe Poch wouldn't have risked it if Aurier wasn't committed to improving his off the pitch reputation. I'm genuinely thrilled he's here & believe that we have quite possibly upgraded at RB whilst pocketing £27 million.
Mental he was on the bench today.
Dele needs to seriously buck his ideas up. He's so gifted but he walks around at times like he's made it. Worrying observation I think the hype may have got him (been feeling this for a while not a melt)
Sonny deserved 90 minutes, Dier is a dope and Eriksen just didn't get in the game. Poch has creative work to do to get round this defensive way teams pick points up from. Fluidity was missing. I miss White Hart Lane (ok that ones a bit of a melt)

yea his attitude is different now. not the same hunger. Haven't played well at all this season
So 1 take on.
Trippier actually completed a take-on today.
Sadly, it was once again heading towards his own goal and then he lost the ball.
I got worried about Dele when I saw that BT Sport ad in the summer; he's got an aura of petulant prick about him at the minute.
Aurier is top 3 IMO; Alves is only elite going forward, Juanfran looks vulnerable this season. Azpilicueta and Carvajal are the only two who genuinely rival him in terms of quality and balance. Walker is a good athlete who Pocchettino managed to mould into an incredibly competent footballer, but lacks their class.
All this is without Pocchettino the fullback whisperer having any time to galvanise him either. He's going to be a monster.
Trippier must have completed more crosses yesterday than Aurier has in his entire lifetime.
We brought on Llorente so we had a target man.
Totally pointless when we keep giving the ball to this tool!!
But we better replace Trippier with a headless fucking chicken.
How many of Trippiers crosses ended with an assist?
How many of Auriers did??
Right? So what exactly are you getting at?
Trippier completed more crosses - Zero assists.
So literally the ONLY thing he's good for brought nothing good to the game.
Thanks for that.

And Auriers take-ons were so valuable??
Literally the ONLY thing hes good for brought nothing good to the game.
However I look forward to him running up the wing at hitting row-Z.
How we've missed Lennon and Townsend

A take on is more likely to create a chance. As opposed to Trippier receiving the ball in space and passing all the way back to Lloris.
If you're seriously living in a world where you honestly believe Trippier is even half as good as Aurier, you really are living in Scotland.
Maybe you should stick to that football instead.
A cross on to a forwards head is more likely to create a chance as opposed to Aurier blindly running with the ball and booting it into crowd.
Didn't quote your xenophobic bullshit as it's beneath you.
I actually have to go out and won't be able to reply.
No stealing the tv!!

How is he xenophobic saying Scottish football is garbage? It is. The Scottish Premiership is on par with League One. And that's being nice. Celtic would struggle in the Championship. And it's not like Scottish footballers are lighting the world up anywhere even in Scotland.
