Matt Doherty @ Atletico Madrid

[Dougal]

Can anyone tell me if it's pronounced Dock-erty or Doe-erty? It would be nice to know one way or the other.

Do-her-ty.

You’d think it was a town in Wales or something...

 

[spids]

If we fight as hard as other teams, do not make mistakes, with Son, Kane and Dele up top e will score goa

The latter.

Am I being thick or does absolutely no one add the -ck sound to Doherty? It’s just some awful Midlands bastardization I’d assume as I’ve only ever heard Wolves fans say it that way.

It’s this fella’s fault...

It’s a Scottish thing too. Half my family are Doherty and it’s all pronounced Dock-er-tee

 

[HNIM]

I always thought it was Dach'-r-tee, with the first syllable like a soft version of the German achtung. Except here in the States where everything gets bastardized.

I've seen a few *GOALS ASSISTS & SKILLS* videos for Doherty, has anyone come across anything that highlights the defensive side of his game? He looks great going forward but I wanted to compare him to Aurier defensivley as I've never seen the guy play. Any video or just "yes he's a better defender than Aurier" would suffice

Also I wonder how the Wolves fans that denied the move was happening, or that they'd get Sessegnon and £20m for him are getting on

Time to move this to Spurs Chat surely.

I've been looking for the same thing. Obviously not easy to find!

Some Wolves fans is glad he was sold ?

Bet he has family that pronounces it that way.

Everyone has that wacky uncle who wants to pronounce the family name differently because of some random family heritage thing like someone shagging a Scott once three hundred years ago.

If it’s spelt Doherty,it’s always. doe er tee Irish.
Docherty is Scottish with Docherty as in Tommy Docherty.

 

[THOWIG]

Genius haha, whoever is doing digital marketing at Spurs at the moment is absolutely nailing it. We used to be streets behind on that stuff.

Know one of the team and he’s great.

Or one of those funky gaelic names that's spelt Fhdhaoeataoigh but pronounced "doe-er-tee" in the invader's tongue

Invaders tongue...sounds kinky

Could his attacking ability help Dele get back to his best? Doherty loves a diagonal cross and Dele loves a late run.

Something I've noticed about Dele is that he makes a lot of runs and is rarely passed to. Then after about half an hour his head goes down and he stops trying.
I suspect this has gone a long way to accounting for his lack of form for the last couple of seasons. And a big part of it is actually down to our poster boys Kane and Son who are much greedier now as well as the rest of the teams inabilty to find him.

It would be great if Doherty can get him a few goals as we should then see the real Dele for 90 minutes rather than only up to the point he gives up due to wasting his time.

I remember Lineker once saying being a goalscorer isn't about being in the right place, at the right time; it's being in the right place all the time.

Dunno. Hope that helps

I feel like a lot of his goals came from crosses/long balls from either Eriksen, Trippier or Toby and we only have one of those left...

I think Lo Celso will start picking him out more regularly this season and with Doherty coming in, who is a decent crosser (I think) we'll see Dele start scoring again.
