This is the truth. Won't get that luxury against Chelsea. We need to RWB as a priority.Good game but did not need to do much defending and until he can produce a good performance against a team that will dominate us like Chelsea then he is still on my leave list.
I'd say that Doherty is a better RWB, but Emerson is by far the better RB. It just so happens that we don't really use RBs with Conte.Credit where it's due he played well, says a lot that I rather him over Emerson right now, actually says more about Emerson most probably.
30 year old back-up RWB - not sure which clubs have better - that said we need our 23 year old RB to improve or we need a 25/26 year old RB/RWB to add to the squad, with Doherty remaining a back-up or leaving.
Is Traore the answer? maybe
No Traore is awful. Omg can’t believe we are discussing Traore. If anyone has watched him play the last two seasons one game should be enough to realize he is a terrible football player at this level.30 year old back-up RWB - not sure which clubs have better - that said we need our 23 year old RB to improve or we need a 25/26 year old RB/RWB to add to the squad, with Doherty remaining a back-up or leaving.

When we expect the other team to dominate us, which Chelsea will (their midfield is 10 times better than ours), then Doherty is a no go. When we dont have the ball much, hes useless (which is why he failed miserably with mourinho, we were always defending and hes a shit defender).For me he starts vs Chelsea.

Next time we dominate a team, he comes back on the pitch (if we dont have a better option)
