Alert Team
In his defence, he does have more assists in the PL this season than Walker, Pereira, Wan-Bissaka, Baldock and Doherty, who are all the RBs of teams currently above us in the table.
Aurier is a frustrating player to watch at times but give him credit where he deserves it. His crossing at times this season has been superb! Recently, not so much. He's just sooo unpredictable both offensively and defensively.
Unfortunately I think he is very predictable in both roles...I must admit I was very surprised to read your stats on assists...I can’t really remember any but then his very predictable cock-ups in defence tend to stay longer in the memory and maybe count as assists.
So 5 assists in the Prem proves Matic's point but also explains Harry-Kari's perceptions. Ultimately, all those other RB's have had to play as orthodox full-backs with their left-backs being afforded the same freedom as themselves. Aurier has had it a lot easier in my opinion being pushed right up and should have more assists.
If we do get another RB, I still feel that Jose will keep Serge around. He knows Jose's tactics and can just switch them seamlessly. There is a lot to be said for that in every position. Aarons would be my choice.
