Yes he was that bad and he should never start for us again

I too thought it was a good signing at the time I'm ashamed to admit. Seemed a cheap and reliable solution to the Aurier problem.
But he's so far out of his depth it's unreal. He just does not have the ability to play for us or do what we're asking of him. He's on £65K a week (3 more years on his contract!!!) so he's probably quite happy to endure the nightmare.
I wonder how long the club will persist before cutting their losses? Hope to fuck Royal is a success.

You will be hard pushed to find a player that can sit out for weeks/months and then come into the team and play and absolute blinder. Even lord Harry Kane takes 4 or 5 games to get back up to speed.
Go watch our game against Leicester last season and see that Doherty is a good player.
Clearly there is a fundamental issue with our coaching at the club that has haunted us for a few years; whereas fringe players seem unable to integrate with the matchday squad. We even saw under Poch; that we would concede shortly after we made substitutions.
Root cause - We seem to utilise coaches that adopt a strict organised system. Under Mourinho and now Nuno; we play the 'press trap'; whereas we let the other team have the ball and set traps to try and win back possession and hit them on the break. When our squad gets rotated, the new players never seem on board with the system and inevitably we end up looking poor.

Nice cross for the 2nd goal mind you....and a nice cross that almost had Rodon head the winner.
When Wolves sold us Matt Doherty they went straight out and replaced him with Nelson Semedo. No debate needed regarding who got the better of that deal.
Our recruitment in the last four/five years has been absolutely shocking ( why go for Bruno Fernandez when you can have Gedson instead?) Steve Hitchens should have been relieved of his duties some time ago and while the jury is still out on Paratici the early signs are not entirely convincing.

agree with you Hitchen is head of recruitment he should have been sacked years ago
i did say when Paratici came in that he is a conman, for someone on the phone all the time he didn't gey many deals in/out done, we had to pay up Aurie's contract could not even give him away to save his wages
I still don't see why Hoddle isn't in as DoF just listen to him he points out what is going right/wrong as the game is happening,

Come on man…. I love Hoddle, and perhaps we should utilise him a bit like Pleat as an advisor / scout but as a DOF? Nah
Wasn’t as bad today as the comments suggest (imo). I think he’s way better up the pitch than playing as a true right back.

To be honest the cross for the second goal was very fortunate and was more a defensive fuck up by Rennes than anything else because it landed nowhere near the intended target
Think we struggle because we've not even got a strong starting 11, let alone quality backups.
Other teams can rotate a lot more than us because they have depth and can trust their squad. We keep shite like Doherty and Winks out for weeks/months and then just throw them back in. Then we see them play badly even by their own standards
LOL at some of the more recent posts as well.
His cross led to a goal. His cross to Rodon should have been for the winner. He didn't make any mistakes that led to chances. He made a couple of good tackles and passed accurately
Has anyone have a link to a stats site?
I reckon his pass completion percentage must be in the 80s and the passes that didn't come off were with Harry in their 3rd.
Solid game as he usually has and we didn't lose yet again when he plays.

What did he do that was awful?
His technique when striking the ball is atrocious - he mistimed basic passes.
Just pleased Emerson is looking decent as it means this turd won’t be seen again
Wrong
