Maybe he can get him a decent move. How does Doherty play at Centre-Back. Always a job for a decent Centre-Back.Originally Posted by JR89
far from the worst spurs player in the first half.
probably just a case of him being the obvious one to make way for a formation change given he was playing out of position.
spurs were a mess defensively in the first half
Doherty playing well for Spurs today. A goal and an assist for Spurs, even if the second was all down Kulusevski's brilliance. Leeds are shocking and look like a team destined to go down.
He's having a good day. He put a cross into the box that Sessegnon couldn't get to but he did well. He got through for a goal chance too but Meslier was out fast. His movement has definitely bothered Leeds. We know they like to man mark so it's difficult for them to mark the wing backs, particularly when there's a transition of the ball from Leeds to Spurs.
Switched to left back now, following introduction of Emerson Royale.
And Emerson has made a bags of a chance. A much easier chance than the one Doherty had in the second half. I really can't understand how that guy has played for Barca and Brazil.
He has a great name ~ Emerson Royale ~ you’d just have to give him a game !
I wouldn’t call the second goal a Doherty assist.
He was last Spurs player to pass to scorer but there was still a lot to do.
Good run from MD for first goal
At fault for Crooks wide open header. Got out of gaol Doherty since that guy missed a sitter
He played very well and seemingly the fans are becoming happier. Pity about Seamus' performance.

Tidy goal for Doherty to put Spurs up 2-1 over Newcastle. Interestingly, he's playing as a left wing back today. How many Irish players have scored in the Premier League this season?
And a fine assist by Doherty for Spurs fourth of the day - scored by Emerson Royal.
Delighted for him. I found it interesting at times v Belgium there was this awareness I sensed from their players when he was on the ball that he was as technically proficient as them. Which he is. I hope he sustains this.
Great to see Doherty re-establish his reputation as a top premier league player. Was looking for a while like it just wasn’t going to work out for him at Spurs. Goes to show you really need to give some players time to settle when they move to a new squad. The formation Conte plays (with wingbacks) suits him much better than the flat four Mourinho often used to be fair.

A tiny change in tactics at a club, can make a massive difference.. remember Victor Moses at Chelsea, most people had forgotten he was even still a Chelsea player, but Conte saw a place for him in Contes system, and he ended up winning a league with him.
.We're seeing the same currently with Ogbene.. left go by Cork City to Limerick, and did enough to get a move to Brentford.. not fitted there, goes to Rotherham.. doesn't even seem to be fully trusted there.. but has become almost a certain starter for Ireland at international level
If you're the right piece in the jigsaw, you're te right piece.. seems
nasty looking tackle from Cash on Doherty today saw him taken off after 20 mins. He played on a bit so hopefully nothing too serious.
Reports this evening that he'll be out for the rest of the season
Absolutely gutting for him. The form he’d gotten himself into under Conte and then a stupid, rash tackle like that puts it all on the shelf. Really gutted for him and this is bad news for us. Had become a key player for SK. Dammit!
