Matt Doherty @ Atletico Madrid

[Geez]

I was delighted when we bought him

At last he showed why tonight

Great game for a neutral

 

[sammyj]

To be fair

 

[dagraham]

I’m not gonna pretend that I liked him all along or that we don’t need to sign a RWB, but Doherty simply has far more natural attacking instincts than Emerson.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

He was fantastic when he came on, playing in his actual position & not LWB.

Hope he can stake a claim now in the starting 11.

 

[isaac94]

has a long way to redeem any confidence, but was decent tonight

 

[EQP]

Much improved today. Maybe there is potential for him to be RWB in Conte's system? Another start on Sunday wouldn't shock me.

 

[h2005]

Played well tonight. He deserves a run of games to see if he can kick on.

 

[HodisGawd]

Dear god. What have I just seen? He was good.

 

[soflapaul]

Confidence is a funny thing. He has seemed too ponderous in the past and perhaps a burst of confidence will have a big impact on his performance. Second guessing yourself is one of the surest ways to insure you play slow.

 

[arunspurs]

Doherty's best game at Spurs easily.
His run for the equaliser was just brilliant - he has done this in past but either he goes too early or too late. Today's run and Hojbjerg pass was puuurrrffeccct

 

[Tucker]

He came on and had a big effect. Well done to him.

 

[Trees]

Round pegs……

 

[Spursmatty87]

Well done tbf.

 

[Oh Teddy Teddy]

Big man’s just played himself into the team over Royal.

 

[Harrier]

I know we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves after one game, but you have to wonder whether we saw the effects of long covid and Jose sapping all confidence from him.

Showed tonight why we actually bought him.

 

[carpediem991]

Well done tonight, did a lot in the 45 min he was on.

Sometimes still funny how clumsy he can be on the ball. Maybe he can build a bit confidence in a system that should suit him.

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Had you told me that by the middle of January I’d rather Emerson left than Doherty, I’d have called you mad but here we are.

 

[Dov67]

Credit where its due. He was superb when he came on
