A decent winger and a shit defender.
Who is turning on him? He’s a good lad and an exciting prospect.
But we have to call a spade a spade, his last performances have been really bad. He is getting destroyed by average players.
It hasn't even been bad performances either.
He has not been close to as bad as some posters wish he has been.
When he came he was a breath of fresh air but he is another one who has had his confidence and ability eroded by the manager and the tactics. It is hard to blame him for a bad performance in his first season (that has been largely positive) when that is taken into consideration. Imagine him in that Poch side instead of Danny Rose for example, he'd of been so much better.
He's far more suited to playing wing back with 3 defenders behind him. We just don't have the CBs for that system.
Aurier and Regui as wingbacks and an attacking minded modern coach would strike fear into the heart of defences.
Right now Mourinho has neutered them where they are good and use them to do something they're ill suited for.
Sound familiar?

Makes mistakes, but is creative going forward. We need all the creativity we can get.
Great second half, needs to build his confidence back up
Would suit 3 CBs tbh, so he needn’t be called on to defend too often as he pretty much doesn’t seem able to. However, with all the AMs we have, probably can’t sacrifice a MF space for another CB.
He takes necessary risks and sometimes it pays off and other times it leads to mistakes. But wouldn't we rather have a team full of Regis rather than passengers?
Think we need to credit Mason here.
He actually had Reggie work to his strengths and pushed him up the pitch, he then had Aurier drop more than he would usually do (he's a better defender than Reggie).
Both fullbacks were involved in the build-up with midfield too (not always the case with the Dino as we would go long more often than not), Aurier dealing with Southampton's first half high press better than Reggie.
The early use of the FB's was closer in line with Poch, especially as we looked to cross the ball (no team has attempted fewer crosses this season than Spurs).
It's not quite the lopsided FB tactic used by the Dinosaur earlier in his reign as Aurier did cross the halfway line unlike Davies did when he was the deepest.
The thing I don’t like about Reguillon playing higher up the pitch is that Son always covers for him, and that’s not what we should be doing.Think we need to credit Mason here.

Son is the one who should always stay near the box, and during Dino’s time he was spending way too much time in our own half out wide.
He's been poor for so many games now. You'd have to go back several games to find a game where he was actually good.
Excellent second half vs Southampton. Very poor first half. He's a better player when we can get our cb's average position closer to the halfway line and play in the opposition half.
