There's no maybe to it. Doherty was abject. Did he even have one good performance? I vaguely remembering thinking he had a good debut but after that he was brick.
It's only your dislike of Aurier that can make you think their performances were even close.
Aurier is far from perfect but fudge Doherty was awful. Tanagana was significantly better than him in the few games he managed.
No I’ve given Aurier plenty of kudos
I’ve even nominated him on here for MOTM and he would have been IMO in the running for the prem right back Of the year at the half way stage
But its half a good season in what, 4 years isn’t very good
It’s why he wouldn’t get into any team in the top 10
Doherty playing like he did the season before we signed him would, hence why we signed him and then didn’t really plan for him learning a new set up at his age.
in Auriers best season IMO he wouldn’t make a top 10 side here in that season
I do like Tanganga, and I’ve always liked Foyth but he never got a chance there for us.
But we have to have better options in that position as it’s a huge area of weakness exposed by Leeds, Arsenal and even Fulham to murder us down that side. It cost us the final because than how we conceded a needlesss free kick that sissoko didn’t defend
We also have to get rid of stupid players, players who just cannot play well for 90 minutes. That’s Aurier, sissoko, dier, winks probably, Sanchez... and that’s a for a start
