Yeah I remember a couple going in over Tariccos head in the 90s, yet he'd still be on the post the next week.
I guess it must be better than nobody on the post?

Yes, it was noticeable that rather than celebrating the header he was staring at Trippier intensely and saying something like that's what I'm talking about Chippy, that's the monkey

But if you put a taller player on the post for corners that means Trippier has to mark someone (or a zone) that could be marked by a taller player?
Putting your shortest players on the posts (or at the edge of the area) is pretty standard, and I think overall it's the best decision. Unless we change to a Watford type squad some shorter players will have to do jobs that taller players would be more suited to on corners, putting them on the post will sometimes be costly. For me asking them to challenge for a header would be more costly.

Trippier seems to be playing better for England than for Spurs. Maybe it's fatigue, but I think it's commitment too, especially in tracking back. Poch needs to bench him a bit methinks.

He likes a meg. First time I have seen him be caught out.

What you say makes a lot of sense. Problem is that his only replacement is Brain Fart Mark 2+; indeed, I have a suspicion that Poch has lost confidence in Aurier... So it's either switching to a back three (not a bad idea with Dembele's being out for weeks) or sticking with Trippier

I liked the Uruguayan right back in the world cup with corn-rows. Forget his name.

Let’s not pretend these silly errors have only started this year, he’s never been a good defender.

100%. Always looked poor especially in a 4. If Aurier could consistently play like he did in Milan, I’d have him in all day long. Not sure Aurier has that in him but Trippier has handed him the chance to prove himself with his last two games.
Tonight was a a travesty of a performance. A right back performance of such bricktiness not seen since the days of David Kerslake.
Aurier isn't my favourite player either, but he has looked ok this season when he's played. Might be time to give him a chance and at he same time, give Trippier a kick up the ar5e.
If we didn't have some many problems in centre midfield, I'd suggest giving Dier a try at right-back, especially in games against top sides. Bit like when Guardiola used to play Puyol at RB to deal with Ronaldo (I'm not comparing Dier to Puyol) or when Klopp played Gomez at right-back against Emirates Marketing Project and dropped Alexander Arnold for that game.

Definitely looking like a weak link defensively, which I think means he'll be in the spotlight even more as teams will target us down his side.
I think the lack of real competition is a problem, especially as Aurier doesn't exactly give us a solid/safe alternative to sure things up.
