He has one redeeming quality (ghosting in at the back post) and Conte recognised this.

I think he came on yesterday and was told to attack. Something Royal is nowhere near capable of doing.
Within seconds Doherty was getting into the Leicester box and causing problems.
Agree, that if we're being pushed back, I'd worry about his defending ability.
He has to i think it's obvious he's currently a better option than Emerson at wing-back in this system.
Lads and ladies, pls don’t be fooled by his performance yesterday. It was an outlier. a HUGE standard deviation from his mean performance.
The guy is happy. Fair play to him. He must receive dogs abuse online.
I'm sure Conte knows more than any of us but I'd be tempted to start him as a reward for the Leicester game. I'm a big fan of meritocracy.
if theres 3 cb's and meant to be 2 defensive minded midfielders, then i think we can get away with a more attacking styled RWB, even against the sides that are going to try and impose themselves.
Against Leicester maybe.
Not sure about Chelsea.
You can kinda sorta see what Conte is coming to appreciate about him, in that he knows his limitations and does exactly what he's told.
A useless player with the ball at his feet, but so long as he's not forced to defend like a normal right back against classy attackers, he does take up good positions and times his runs in ways that put defenses off.

Looked good against a battered Leicester team
Showed what he is yet again today

After showing some signs in the 2nd half last time he resorted back his to crap level. Not as bad as he has been because he wasn't asked to play RB so free from the defensive responsibilities he struggles with, but still did nothing positive and was so weak with the ball.
It is interesting because as

says he gets into good positions at times but he does nothing once there.

How the fock is this guy still here?! Like a cockroach after a nuclear holocaust.
'cos Traore chose Barca over us I'd imagine!
Didn't realise he is the oldest outfield player we have
