Matt Doherty

[Totti]

Meh.

Expecting better. He's playing like a right sided Davies right now. Doesn't really offer anything going forward. His final ball is literally no improvement on Aurier from the showings so far and he was done THREE times defensively today.

But, a cleansheet to his name. So fair play.

I'm sure he'll improve as the season goes on.

 

[TimothéeAtouba]

Doherty will offer us plenty this season, new team and not used to playing RB in a back four. Needs to clean up that 1v1 defending though.

Can’t remember when it was but in the 1st half he made a real half hearted tackle and lost the ball, he’s got to put more effort in when defending.

[SchmoodSpur]

Did people not learn from Hojbjerg.

Give him a chance.

 

[Shotgunofmichalebrow]

He gave the ball away directly three times. He is weaker than I expected. I hope he has more than I've seen so far.

 

[TonySoprano]

Hasn't impressed me going forward that much which is what i thought we signed him for.

Defensively him and Serge aren't that much different. Neither is good enough but we'll have to make do with using one or the other until we can sign a top class right-back.

[Airfixx]

Backing him.... He'll get there.

.....Not like he hasn't previously proved himself effective in the EPL.

 

[VoiceOfThePoshSeats]

Looks very average atm.

 

[Cravenspurs]

Not surprised by the struggles. He was up there with CFs in terms of runs in the box last year as a RWB. Wolves play with the most inverted FBs in the league I have to believe and we have him in a flat back 4. Baffled me when we made the signing, but I did think we would see more 3 at the back this year, which we haven't. KWP is a much better RB whereas Matt is a much better RWB.

 

[VoiceOfThePoshSeats]

I think I prefer Aurier and thats saying something.

 

[Radical Rei]

Yeah not great today looking very mediocre

 

[The Hood]

Not good enough - he is 29 soon so hardly one for time.

 

[Totti]

Again, not really sure what he adds.

He doesn't add anything going forward. Could have quite easily given away a penalty today. Which would have been the 3rd he's given already this season.

Hope he can improve.

 

[THFC-Israel]

It's been several years since we asked this question. But Matt Doherty what does he do?

 

[dmulally]

We won.

 

[AG67]

He is struggling. More and more I wonder why Mourinho signed a RWB to play RB in a back four, he doesn’t look good defensively or much better going forward.
No real upgrade on Aurier overall so far.

 

[JDK]

He’ll be a solid back up when we sell Aurier next year and bring in a young Reguilon type.

 

[ArcspacE]

Was the worst player on the field today

Worrying early signs - hope he can turn it around

 

[OakgroveSpurs]

Still plays like he thinks he has 3 CBs behind him, needs improving, still a player in there though.
