Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter want Kyle Walker-Peters to displace Serge Aurier.
Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter have called on Mauricio Pochettino to drop Serge Aurier for Kyle Walker-Peters when Rochdale visit Wembley on Wednesday.
Spurs are 90 minutes away from an FA Cup quarter-final but first they must dispose of the League One side, who held them to a 2-2 draw in the original tie.
Pochettino has named a strong side throughout the competition and is bound to include the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli again tomorrow night.
But one senior player who Tottenham fans don’t want to see is Aurier.
The Ivorian right-back had a bit of a shocker in Sunday’s 1-0 win at Crystal Palace, fluffing a gilt-edged chance in front of goal and being penalised for no fewer than three foul throws.
His stock among the Lilywhites faithful has dropped significantly and Spurs fans want to see Kyle Walker-Peters start at right-back instead.
Walker-Peters, an academy player, is a very decent prospect, but he was subbed at half time in a fourth-round draw at Newport County last month and it’s clear that he still needs a bit of work.
Aurier might have had a shocker, but he is probably still a much better option than the 20-year-old for now.
