Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur – Hits and flops | Premier League 2018-19

Flops:

1.Serge Aurier-

Aurier could not help Tottenham

Going into such a big match, It was obvious that the Spurs will miss Trippier and Aurier’s miserable performance will worry both Pochettino and the Spurs supporters.

Aurier just seemed unsure of his role in this team and was caught napping a few times too as he gave the ball away too easily in dangerous areas inside Tottenham’s defensive third. Traditionally, a right-back is expected to move forward whenever there is space in front of him and deliver long passes to the other wing or feed the midfielders with the ball constantly. But Aurier did neither of those things properly as he is not adept with crossing the ball and Torreira cleverly closed out his passing options and made him pass the ball sideways.

Also, Kolasinac’s pace troubled him a lot and Arsenal targeted the right side of Tottenham's defence for the majority of the match. This is a performance which he would like to forget as soon as possible and to remain in the starting 11 for the upcoming matches, he has to improve a lot of aspects of his game.
