Lazy star must be axed: Three things learned about Tottenham from win v Crystal Palace
Lazy Aurier deserves the axe
One area which has been a real battleground in the Spurs squad has been at right back, with no less than three fighting it out for a place in the starting XI.
While Kyle Walker-Peters started the season, it has come down to a two horse race between Kieran Trippier and summer signing Serge Aurier.
The Ivory Coast international started against Crystal Palace but should be swiftly axed by Pochettino after his display on Sunday.
He looked lazy out on the Wembley pitch, gifting possession to the opposition several times with his poor passing.
He rarely threatened the Eagles’ defence, while he was caught out time and again by their attack, relying on Eric Dier to mop up his mistakes.
Trippier showed his worth against Real Madrid in midweek and with an international break coming up, it should be the former Burnley man who finds himself starting in two weeks time.
In other Tottenham news, one star figure is being lined up by European giants on a shortlist including some of the world’s best in his role.
