Building him up 15 minutes at a time?

He got 15 against Everton, 30 against Plovdiv and 45 today. It may just be that the coaching and fitness staff have identified this as the way to get him up to full match fitness and keep him effective in the time he's on.

I'm liking what I'm seeing so far from TN and the way he's being handled.

Yep. Will be 60 minutes of pure terror for Shkendinja on Thursday :cautious:

I think we've seriously weakened our team in the right back area. I haven't been impressed with Doherty so far and seriously hope he can offer a bit.more energy than he's shown in the games so far. Serge was constantly marauding up and down the flank and is seriously underrated in my opinion

Never thought would not give MOTM to a man that scored 4, but Kane got 4 fantastic assists, another goal himself and a further 2 disallowed insane match.
Not been impressed by Doherty defensively so far, I remember loads of Wolves fans saying his decent going forward but poor defensively, much better as a wing back, and that seems proving to be true.
Dier is not a starting centre back for a top team

Disagree serge was very mistake riden , walking red card and could give away penalties with ease . Doherty will get better with fitness

Two games in and people are getting carried away a bit.

Give him at least a dozen or so games to settle in a bit.

Would like to see Gedson get a game in the Winks position/role.

An observation from a few games now, sometimes I miss having a more old school winger. Sticking to the flank, dribbling past and getting a good cross in. Instead of always cutting in.

Hard to pick between Kane and Son, simply clinical performance. Lo Celso made a huge difference to a midfield that in the first half was almost non existent. Lamela did well coming on and Lloris made a few quality saves. That is where the positives largely end.

Sanchez and Dier were both poor and to be honest Southampton if they were more clinical could have been out of sight in the first 30 minutes. Moura, Winks, PEH struggled to get into the game. Ndombele couple of good moments but not enough impact over 45 minutes. Davies and Doherty part of a back 4 that was awful and more than rode their luck.
