Surely has to play today. He did well last time out v Leicester. His poor preformances for us have been mainly in a back 4.

He's a specialist RWB, PL proven, lets use him.
Agree. He obviously isnt any sort of long term answer and will hopefully be sold in the summer but he is an actual RWB and to date he's been played as a defensive right back under Mourinho or as a makeshift LWB. Give him a go in his actual position and see what happens.

We played a back 5 against Paco-Raban away. He was dreadful and we lost.

He has stunk numerous times when played at WB.


People will of course have their prefered flavour of bad; but bad is still bad.
 
I've given him a lot of shit, probably have been one of the most vocal voices in here calling for him to never wear the shirt again, however, in that 3rd goal, it's him that makes a run that catches Cancelo in 2 minds, which gives Dejan enough time to pick Kane out. I believe none of our other fullbacks make that run, not even Reguilon. So, good job Doc.

Yeah, but he did also bundle someone over in the box moments before too.
 
Everyone needs to see this. Making that block meant the world to him, which can only boost his confidence. He played his part very well on Saturday night and should be praised

 
He probably had some grim moments with us, but is showing passion recently and provided some good moments for us. Think he should be ahead of Royal already. Offer more in attack and is good in the air defendig and attacking set pieces.

He is a massive liability as he is older than Emerson and obviously unteachable he needs to go first. Sorry dude but it's true. We are bound for Glory he is bound for Ipswich....

In fact this is probably a case you see Emerson playing and think "no, Doherty can't be worse, play him". And when you see Doherty playing you think the opposite.
 
His best performance for us that I can remember. On another day with a bit of luck he could have had more goals and more assists, he was very dangerous throughout. I’m glad he came off for Emerson as I assume it’s because he will be starting the next game.

I said it in the game thread but it is worth mentioning again.

He doesn't have the greatest touch. But his movement off the ball and the runs he pulls off in attack are very good and contribute more than people think. Either he is unmarked and can generate chances, or he get marked and pulls opponents away to create space for our better attackers.

In a system like today where the wingbacks don't have to be creative he has his use.

He didn't come off. He switched to LWB.
He should start all our games now.
He is a very good player.
