Never, ever buy players based on stats. Stats said Doherty was one of the best rights backs in Europe. A proper scouting of him would have shown he's one of the worst.
He's not good enough and can't see how he ever will be given his age and experience. A poor signing in hindsight and a RB still required in the summer.
Can you imagine how much trolling he would give us once his NDA period had expired?Terminate it
Yeah, I thought he at least got into position regularly, but other than that (and a single timely block) it was a pedestrian effort. His crosses are embarassing.I didn't think he had a bad game today. It wasn't amazing, but that was probably one of his better games for us (not hard I know).
Sissoko is as shite as Doherty.Didn’t we slate Sissoko in the similar way?
I say give him time. He’s barely been given a consistent run of games
Aurier has been better than Doherty. Doesn't mean Aurier has been great, but I think he's getting too much stick here. He's been decent and better than prior years.I always want to give a player the benefit of the doubt in their first season but he just isn’t good enough . We have a major problem in this position . 2 players that are just as bad as each other
Makes you long of Verdran Corluka who could at least play footballHe runs like a pensioner. I don't know what sort of fitness or gym work they do with him but he's just so unathletic for a guy who should be in his physical prime.
In our post-Walker never-ending quest for a right-back he's probably the worst of all the players we've tried.
Probably wasnt aware they were talking to himwonder what they do down the traing ground. Nobody ever told him he is better of doing something else.
Are you telling us that Sissoko has come good?Didn’t we slate Sissoko in the similar way?
I say give him time. He’s barely been given a consistent run of games
He's 29 years old. Can't imagine waiting for him to come good. Sell him while he has some value.He seems to lack awareness and has a very low football iq.
Nearly put the ball in our net under no pressure, and had the same ball pinged over his head repeatedly while he just stood there dumbstruck.
I am starting to doubt if a second season is even worth risking
