On this Aurier thing, Are we doing that thing where we immediately categorise the less talented player (Doherty) as automatically being more reliable?

To be fair, he does have 4 goals and 7 assists in each of his last two PL seasons, as a RWB admittedly but he is effective going forward.
We essentially have two imperfect players to rotate at RB for the season, but at least they're both strong in the air and good at getting forward.
Probably a position that needs a first choice option brought in next summer.
Was he not playing as the least orthodox RB you would ever see. He was a wingback with very little defensive responsibility.
he was a far post poacher from what I saw
Geezer looks like he wants to fuck him up and Serge looks like he’s terrifiedNot sure what this was about:

wtf is going on there
claim it’s a joke ... doesn’t look funny
I'm assuming you are using stats to make the claim about Doherty??, if so, Aurier was rated the THIRD most attacking AND he can defend far, far better than Doherty (Doherty was an out and out WB to gain those stats and did little defensive duties). Have you actually seen Doherty defend in a Spurs shirt? He's been pretty fucking poor to date. Of course, he's only just joined and there will hopefully be some improvement once he's settled in, but I'd assume that the reason we bought a 28yr old (soon to be 29) was that with existing PL experience he would be ready from the get-go.
In any event, there can surely be no argument that he's behind Aurier right now.
I do like him looking to get into the box though, did this a lot at Wolves and has also done so for us too. Always hard to tell what are tactics/instructions from different managers, but Serge will largely keep the width and Doherty looks to get narrow.
It says alot that even against LASK, a walkover, Doherty was our weakest player.
Bale was through at least 2 or 3 times and but he lacked the vision or courage to play him in.
Can people also stop moaning about Aurier's crossing ffs.
Apart from the dippers fullbacks not many come close to his numbers.
The action he gets on the ball is superb. His crossing technique is excellent. Yeah he fluffs it sometimes but that's life.

Crossing in itself is a low % opportunity (just watch the geezer pop up and disagree with that as he always does, lol). Those looking for any excuses to take a pop will use that, despite the fact that from open play he has the best crossing stats from a FB in the league (TAA's numbers are off the charts because he's their set-piece taker (corners & FK's)).
no room for context I'm afraid. We're not having that here!
Considering Doherty isn't the less talented player I would say no.
Also, considering that Doherty doesn't make the moronic plays or pointless fouls, I would also say no.
Sign the bloke handing out slaps. He'd have been proper useful after the West Ham game...
He’s certainly a cunt!

Bump.
I quite like Serge at the moment, this season he’s been very decent.
He’s been left out of the starting lineup for a long time, even though Doherty is not playing too well.
Think Jose is a bit harsh.

Had a knock, no?
