The ones he was picked to play against.
Why, you would have preferred to lose 13?
Kane’s scored against one top 6 side this season by the way, but I guess it’s ok for him to play well against Maccabi Haifa and WBA eh
My point is Jose sees thing in training that we don't and picks his players accordingly. If he doesn't trust him to defend against good attacking sides, well he's not a very good defender.
He's good at attacking as a wing back. And that's helpful. But it doesn't make him a starting PL top 4 team defender .
Who said he was a starting top 4 defender?
He’s come into the squad and done his job when called upon but that’s a reason to slag him off.
Love this notion that when back up players do their job so we can actually trust them to rotate, it’s seen as a negative because “it’s only WBA”...
How dare he have a good record in the games he’s been used in
This is our best starting eleven when counting for wins per 90
Hart
Doherty - Sanchez - Alderweireld - Reguilon
Winks -White
Bale - Ndombele -Lucas
Vinicius
Pretty sure that's our Europa League team lolDoherty - Sanchez - Alderweireld - Reguilon
Winks -White
Bale - Ndombele -Lucas
Vinicius
EL team are doing their job well, more than an be said for some of the PL team in recent weeks
a) Against crap oppostion
b) Since I've seen you spend the whole day defending Dier I know I can't take your opinion seriously on crap players.
(although I agree with you on Dele)
Way to go playing revisionist history. He was brought here to be a starting RB given Aurier's unreliability. Are you intentionally doing it or did you really not realize that was why we brought him in?
So what? He’s now solid back up for like 11M
I'd have much rather kept our younger more "solid" backup RB and invested that 11 and more for a starting level RB this season.
We had a great transfer summer. Doherty was a blip. That and not getting in a starting quality CB.
And? That doesn’t change the fact he’s doing a good job in the cup team now
He cost fuck all and people expecting Lahm
Kane’s goals:
Ludogrets, Plovdiv, Maccabi Haifa, Schkendija, Southampton, West Ham, Brighton, WBA, Palace, Leeds, Fulham, Sheff Utd, Woolwich
Man U when they were about 17th

City (the same City that doesn’t count for Jose because they “hadn’t clicked yet”)
Liverpool (hmmmm )

Ndombele the world class creator, with the two above world class forwards in front of him, has a whole 3 assists.
Man City, LASK and Brentford
He did however chip in with goals against 17th placed Utd, Plovdiv, Sheff Utd, Wolves and Wycombe
“It’s different to Doherty having a good record against these teams”

I don't think anyone is arguing about the job he does in the cup team, but there have been plenty of times where he looks absolutely clueless in PL games. He was brought in to be our new RB, but here we are 6 months later and everyone still prefer Aurier over him (who granted has improved over last season).
Personally I try not to get too annoyed, and avoid spouting vitriol at players during specific games because everyone can have an off game, but watching Doherty in the Brighton game was something else he couldn't pass the ball half the time.
Being played out of position probably isn't helping the lad, but I've yet to see anything from him this season that's actually impressed me, which the majority of other spurs players have.

Yet when I post that we won 13 and lost 1 of the 16 games he’s played in, it’s called out as crap opponents.
However it’s the same opponents in 95% of the cases that Ndombele, Kane and Son have turned up against
Almost like he’s being blamed for not being good enough to play “big” games, so it’s his fault we are shit in “big” games because he didn’t play in them
People need to have some patience before writing off a new transfer as a failure.
Not all players can hit the ground running in their first season, more so with the ongoing pandemic. Many will only settle intheir second year.
Judgement should be reserved till his second season imo.

For me personally the biggest difference is that we’ve seen that Kane, Son, and Ndombele deliver against better opposition, and I can’t say that Doherty has.
I know you never said he was a star player, but can you name one moment where he did something amazing, or even noteworthy? Happy to eat crow on this, but I can’t think of a single one.
Fan reception would be a lot better if he played like Regi, or even showed as much passion as he does.
But yea there are a lot of reason why we’ve been dreadful in some games this season, the blame doesn’t fully rest on his shoulder, or any specific player for that matter.
