I've been a massive critic of him but I am delighted to say I'm eating humble pie because under Mourinho's system he is looking fantastic!
Is it just his system, or have Mourinho and his staff actually done some coaching up?

Well, they are different players. I think many thought that when Doherty came in, he'd be the natural first choice and sort of rid us of the perceived Aurier problem. So he disappoints because many had the wrong expectations. But take Doherty for what he is, a fine rotation FB and not a given first choice, and you see that he is doing a good job.When you read the early posts, maybe consider what you’re saying about Doherty. He’s moved to a new club and a new coach and probably learning to defend very differently to what he’s done before with very different players around him. Give him time.
