keep him as backup, with the injury to doc it might be better to sell him

Emerson however have shown more of a tendency to pop up in the box and attempt goal scoring opportunities than what Ryan does. Not to mention being a good defender.Sess set up 3 big chances today. Royal set up none.

Doherty was really good before his injury so I am interested in seeing how he comes back from it.He definitely needs to be on the bench if not rotated with the new LWB, he offers defensive stability while the new LWB can be an attacking one.
Doherty sale possibly back to Wolves as a part of a deal for Neves maye ?

If Doherty comes back fully fit I think that we should loan Emerson out next season and get another RWB in.
Emerson is clearly a good fullback. So having him on loan for a season to see how the Conte saga goes or not could be smart. If Conte leaves after next season when his contract expires we may end up getting a manager that wants more traditional fullbacks. And Emerson could be brought back into the fold.
I actually thought he did well defensively today.
It's causing oppo some major issues. Kulu stays wide, with Emmerson coming in off the wing into midfield, oppo LB/LWB then has a large amount of space to cover/mark between the two.His new position as a sort of inverted wingback seems to suit his strengths more. He's not as congested as he is out on the touchline, and contributes more in attack this way.
And I think that even his harshest of critics can compliment him on his defending.

And Dejan loves that space to cut into and fire shots/ping balls in from. He scored a lot from that area in Italy.It's causing oppo some major issues. Kulu stays wide, with Emmerson coming in off the wing into midfield, oppo LB/LWB then has a large amount of space to cover/mark between the two.
We should get or money back, he has been decent defensively recently.He does well defensively most week to be fair to him but the attacking qualities are just not there.
Cash in, in the summer for me
I mean not giving away a penalty every five games is something.Can't defend, can't attack.
No tangible improvement on Aurier.
He’s solid defensively but I wouldn’t say great. He’s aggressive so he wins the ball a bit but also gets beat quite a bit.This can't defend rhetoric has to be agenda driven, surely? I watched the game today thinking it's a shame he offers nothing going forward because he looks decent defensively. IMO he's been very solid defensively for the last 4-5 games at least.
