So having Bale instead of Sissoko doesnt make a difference to Doherty's qualities. He was shit with other players around and he is still shit with Bale helping him.Didn’t say he wasn’t.
I don’t think it helps.So having Bale instead of Sissoko doesnt make a difference to Doherty's qualities. He was shit with other players around and he is still shit with Bale helping him.
Nope. Its nonsense to suggest Doherty will ever be first choice anyway.What I was saying about his time here, is that we need to be careful for what we wish. We are hardly full to the brim of right back talent and the reason Aurier has looked so good in a number of games this season is he has had his pal right beside him. So, in my opinion, he’s not any more of a decent bet to be first choice right back than Doherty.
Really worth having a back and forth about?
We’ll see.Nope. Its nonsense to suggest Doherty will ever be first choice anyway.
He wasn't dreadful last night but I think we'd have been better with Aurier.Thought Doherty did well last night. I didn't think he played too bad against Fulham so was good to see him more consistent yesterday.
Eventually? He’s 29. This is the late prime of his career. He already looks off the pace, imagine what losing a step will look like.I don't wrote off players in their first full seasons. Modric was voted the worst signing in his first season in Madrid. It was that bad. Doherty used to be a very good player for Wolves. Nothing says he will not eventually become one for Spurs.
JV’s assist - fan-bleeeding-tastic.Poetic. Makes you forget the goal almost...Up there with Tom Carroll’s assist as one of the greatest in club history.
Vertonghen to Son another piece of art.
BullshitOne more thing that I believe bears mentioning is that when Aurier has performed at his best is when he has had Sissoko no more than ten feet away from him. Pretty much having two guys do one guys job.
Now Sissoko seems to have been banished to the bench, rightly so, that side has less protection. Let’s see how Aurier does with the “defensive support” of Bale.
Nope. Just an opinion.Bullshit
Agree to a certain point, but against Fulham it was a better game than he has had recently. We kept a clean sheet despite the fact they were targeting a poor RB? He isn't a world beater and there is certainly room for improvement but not sure how you can say he was dreadful when we didn't concede which for us is a minor miracle with some of the defensive performances we've seen this season.He wasn't dreadful last night but I think we'd have been better with Aurier.
He WAS dreadful against Fulham though. Not sure what match you watched but they spent the entire 2nd half pinging balls into our RB area because they were getting the most success from there.
He's not turning a corner. Crap game after crap game. Just other players playing better meaning his crap-ness isn't costing us.Matt Doherty opens up on mistakes he's made at Spurs and turning it around

I suppose being slow, one paced and having the turning circle of your average oil tanker could be construed as "mistakes".Matt Doherty opens up on mistakes he's made at Spurs and turning it around

Oh my I just realised you may have a pointThat seems to be a nicely planted article for other teams to read and start thinking that he might be back to "good" by the time the transfer window comes around.
No chance even Jose can actually think that Doherty is getting any better. But a nice puff piece put out by a club friendly media source might get some interest from other clubs in the summer.
Modric v Doherty. As comparisons go it's a bold one, I'll give you that...I don't wrote off players in their first full seasons. Modric was voted the worst signing in his first season in Madrid. It was that bad. Doherty used to be a very good player for Wolves. Nothing says he will not eventually become one for Spurs.
