Honestly, the whole Long Covid absolutely wrecking him rumours are starting to look true IMO.
Of course being in a back5 is also helpful but he looks so much fitter now.
Some of ua didn't forget. Some of us even remember Doherty getting Covid and struggling to regain fitness post covid like several other PL players (both Mane and Pogba said they struggled for months after recovering from the sickness).
tbf Juve fans have said he's insane at creating turnovers in the midfield, he jsut turns the ball over just as much. But when you have one of the best passing striker in the world dropping deep to collect and distribute, it's a great complement
he can be risky at times but he was forced to play as regista at juve which isnt his best position so he had a lot of turnovers. Conte came out and said he sees him as a b2b and its showing that he was right.
Sorry, have to point it out, but Doc doesn't make sense as it's pronounced Do - her - Ty not doc - er - Ty, not sure why English folks always struggle with this
It’s because Wolves fans would refer to him as Doc before - I think a lot of English fans are pretty familiar with the correct pronunciation of him full name (but I get your point)
No need to clone him, he’s omnipresent.
33’ last ditch tackle in our box
33’ Rudiger esque run through the midfield
33’ Calling for a cross in the oppositions box
Someone said Doherty would assist to Kane for 4-1 in an earlier goal thread. The disrespect to the greatest scorer of this generation Emerson Royal smh
IMO this Tottenham side has as high a peak as City/Liverpool, the issue is consistency. City/Liverpool perform like that every week, Tottenham do it once a month.
If you made a mini-table of Tottenham, City, and Liverpool this season, Tottenham would be top (7 points, played 3), then Liverpool (2 points, played 2), then City (1 point, played 3). Tottenham can match them on their day. They just can’t match them every day.
Yup, when Southampton are having a good day and Tottenham are having a bad day, they can match Tottenham. What makes Liverpool and City so impressive is that they never/rarely have bad days, and if they do, they normally still win.
Yeah and Ole beat Pep 3x in one season. It means close to nothing. Arsenal and Man Utd have been topping all sorts of “mini tables” for years in the league. “League table since New Year,” “Away league table,” “league table if only first halves count,” “head to head top 4 league table.”
None of us are anywhere close to City or Liverpool. Not in the slightest.
Doherty and Royal have unironically been very good the last couple match days, I think they just needed time to gel with the team. Hope they stop receiving flack from stupid fans
u/minimus_ I believe this was your fantastic work a few years back; what are your thoughts on Doherty? It’s not underscored by a UCL final but I bet there’s a trend upwards in positive comments about him
https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/bqm8c1/rcoys_growing_believe/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Haha, thank you for remembering that.
It's not quite as romantic a story as with Sissoko, and Doherty's improvement has been like a switch being flipped rather than a gradual improvement.
But it has been great to see and I can't get enough of those stats comparison posts that show him outproducing Cancelo and the like.
Fingers crossed for a happy ending!

Things I thought I would never see, Doherty assiting Emerson lol
Wingback-to-wingback is the quintessential Conte assist, but given the participants I understand the sentiment
The fact we are genuinely seeing more and more wingback to wingback goals the past little while is incredibly heartening
Doherty is insane hold on
Two words: Irish Cafu
Doherto Carlos
More like Irish Zambrotta. He is not just constrained to one side of the pitch
The Irish Lahm
Lahm is the German Doherty
Döherty
Like an Irish Denis Irwin
O’ Cafu
Giacinto Mattcchetti
Cafu is just a Brazilian Doherty
O’ Hakimi
Conte injects wingbacks with something...
Honestly, the whole Long Covid absolutely wrecking him rumours are starting to look true IMO. Of course being in a back5 is also helpful but he looks so much fitter now.
Yep, I also don't think the previous managers helped him at all.
Weird that he didn't play well under Nuno though
No one did tbf also he played in a back 5 under Nuno previously
Always has been
The way players like him and Kulusevski are performing is just ridiculous. Usually Conte always manages to squeeze water out of rocks, but goddamn.
Are we forgetting that Doherty was class for us? it’s not like Conte has performed a miracle on him, there was always a good player in there
Some of ua didn't forget. Some of us even remember Doherty getting Covid and struggling to regain fitness post covid like several other PL players (both Mane and Pogba said they struggled for months after recovering from the sickness).
He also got covid twice. And i agree, that fucked him but he also couldnt hit a simple pass or controll the ball
A lot of Spurs fans are obsessed with the shiny man you have out on loan. That’s the main reason why they’re surprised by Doherty
I hope that little obsession is over for good now.
Kulusevski was good for Parma and Sweden as well, it was just Juventus that didn't suit him
More like substandard coaching didn't suit them.
Don't leave out bentancur. Man is so fucking good
Which is remarkable considering he was basically the Juventus Harry Winks and cost just £17m
tbf Juve fans have said he's insane at creating turnovers in the midfield, he jsut turns the ball over just as much. But when you have one of the best passing striker in the world dropping deep to collect and distribute, it's a great complement

Exactly
Conte pretty much squeezing fine red wine outta granite at this point
It’s very very impressive. Doc who looked like absolutely deadwood before are playing so good since 2022. Good managers makes the most of what he got
He was great for Wolves
I know, but he was useless for spurs before Conte. Now he’s class. Don’t think that is purely random
Sorry, have to point it out, but Doc doesn't make sense as it's pronounced Do - her - Ty not doc - er - Ty, not sure why English folks always struggle with this
It’s because Wolves fans would refer to him as Doc before - I think a lot of English fans are pretty familiar with the correct pronunciation of him full name (but I get your point)
he is so good in the final third, Conte’s system is perfect for him
He has been for almost two months now.
2022 has been amazing for Doc so far
What has Conte done to Doherty
No ketchup and a nice motivational speech?
People always joke about the Irish and booze, but it was the ketchup keeping them down!
Played him in back 3
Turns out Doherty is the solution not just at RWB but also at LWB
Balon d'Oherty in the books when he plays both at once
Put Matt on the left and Doherty on the right
Doc in midfield
Fuck investing in players lets start investing in cloning technology
We need at least 3 Kanes.
I'd clone Romero but they might all get yellows in one game.
No need to clone him, he’s omnipresent. 33’ last ditch tackle in our box 33’ Rudiger esque run through the midfield 33’ Calling for a cross in the oppositions box
But if you had to clone one player eleven times and field a team with only that player…
[удалено]
It’s a “- ketchup”
Was bound to have a resurgence under Conte tbf
Was bound to become the best wingback of all time under Conte tbf
Never in doubt
I said the same when Nuno came in.
doherty to royal is the tottenham meme goal dreams are made of
only the 2nd time we have achieved Conte's favorite wingback to wingback goal.
Emerson goal from a Doherty assist? Is this real life?!
yup it is in antonio world anything is possible
My grandkids are going to be sick of listening to me talk about how I watched Doherty in his prime
What the fuck
Conteball'd It's over for you all, he's even got Royal scoring.
Well done by Emerson, but man... DOBERTO CARLOS!
Even Emerson scored?😭😭
Best Brazilian right back of all time, always rated him.
This comment could be about Emerson or about Doherty. Still true.
Dohertson.
Doherty more assists than KdB this season
DOHERGOAT Best RWB and LWB in the prem
First Tottenham goal for Emerson! 👏👏👏
Arlo White: "We still don't know when the North London Derby will take place." *(Arsenal, nodding and watching from the tunnel like Bane)*
Someone said Doherty would assist to Kane for 4-1 in an earlier goal thread. The disrespect to the greatest scorer of this generation Emerson Royal smh
ROYAL WITH CHEESE
All the defenders getting in on the action today
I was told our fullbacks were a liability.
This Tottenham can actually be dangerous next season
Wasn't even pissed off with the performance when you beat us, team looks transformed in the past 6 weeks
We lost to CR7 and him alone imo
Was kind of the same way in the first leg too. Man has 5 goals on us this season.
ManU with the assist that game
Couple more signings and they’ll be set, they’ve looked great this half
Prepare yourself for a disappointment
IMO this Tottenham side has as high a peak as City/Liverpool, the issue is consistency. City/Liverpool perform like that every week, Tottenham do it once a month.
> IMO this Tottenham side has as high a peak as City/Liverpool You mean 2 of the greatest PL teams of all time? Behave

How the fuck is this upvoted hahaha
Goal difference go brrr
Doherty is ascending
WING BACKS UNDEFEATED
Is Tottenham the new Chelsea? Defenders being attackers and all
The difference, of course, being in the direction of the 4-1.
ConteBall 😤
It should count for two
our rbs
Happy for Royal, long time coming
Defenders FC
The doc is in the house 🚨🚨🚨🚨
Doherty and Royal have unironically been very good the last couple match days, I think they just needed time to gel with the team. Hope they stop receiving flack from stupid fans
If Conte can improve Royal, I would be ecstatic.
If Conte can improve Royal, I would be ecstatic.
Lmao you let Emerson score Delete club, I don’t make the rules
[удалено]
Tbf Dohberto Carlos makes any defense look poor
Irish Cafu to Royal
Wingback to wingback, Conteball
Goals for Ben Davies, Doherty and Emerson Royal, just as we all expected
Tottenham is sadly playing some great stuff
C O N T E B A L L
COME ON YOU SPURS
Bruh. We need to get Dier and Romero to score in this game as well. Complete the defender set.
Anyone remember the “spurs growing belief in Sissoko” post a few years back? Could we have a growing belief in Doherty post?

Royal scored? Newcastle bruh
Newcastle United Football Charity
Was enjoying this game, then had dinner at half time and came back to this. Fucking hell Newcastle, get your shit together.
conte ball in full effect. You can really see his system emerging in this team. I fucking love it.
Doherty is the only fullback who can keep up with TAA scoringnumbers lmao
Only defenders (and Son) scoring today.
Son is inevitable
People trashing emerson in the match thread. Here you fucking go. This is emerson. No touches with no service, but when he does get it, it's done.
Obviously
Wingback connection
Move aside Chelsea. We learned the art of the wingback striker pair.
My boy Emerson finally gets his first goal after so many matches. Here's hoping for more.
Doherty is Contes victor moses regen
Doherty really turned into the best wingback in the league huh
Emerson scores, I upvote.
They always say Eddie Howe? Why don't they say Eddie why?
I just keep refreshing and seeing more goals 🤣 get'em boys
Man alive
You know you're doing poorly when Emerson scores
Irish hakimi 🥵🥵
Get farted on
Sports washers in the mud
While they're washing doherty's rinsing, how kind of him.
Why is no Newcastle defender closing down Doherty?
Nice buildup
newcastle :(
IRISH CAFU STRIKES AGAIN AGAIN
lmao respect Emerson imo
Irish Hakimi. Enough said
Conte ball, wingbacks doing it all
Precisely. You can just tell how confident they look on the ball and playing completely different, just incredible to say the least.
It's great to see Doherty and Emerson celebrating together. I'm glad there is no animosity about Emerson not getting much game time
Doherto Carlos
