Doherty the most underrated Right back in the league. A thread from a fan of football
Most football fans especially ones from England agree that the top right backs in England are Trent, Walker, Wan Bissaka and Ricardo Periera.
We will compare them to Doherty.

We will compare them to Doherty.
Firstly goals:
Goal threat wise Doherty is the best over the last two seasons:
Doherty 8 goals
Trent 3 goals
Wan bissaka 0 goals
Ricardo 5 goals
Walker 2 goals
He also has 6 assists which is more than Walker and Wan Bissaka.

His minutes per goal is also far better than the others:
He scores every 663 minutes
Ricardo every 1129 minutes
Trent every 1672 minutes
And Walker every 2293 minutes
His shooting success this season is better than Firmino at 13.33% vs 9.2%.

Teamplay: he also doesn’t give possession away as he is dispossessed 0.5 times a game over the last two seasons. In comparison:
Trent 0.4
Wan bissaka 1.2
Ricardo 1.03
Walker 0.44
Trent 0.4
Wan bissaka 1.2
Ricardo 1.03
Walker 0.44
Next defensive side
His tackles per game and interceptions per game are on par with Trent and are better than Walker’s which would make sense since he is a more attacking right back. Him, Trent and Walker are quite a way behind the other two which is expected.

His Dribbled past stat per game is the impressive one though. This season he only gets dribbled past 0.5 times a game. In comparison:
Wan bissaka 0.7
Walker 0.7
Trent 1.4
Periera 1.9
There is not much between him and Wan Bissaka but one of them is considered the best at it.
Wan bissaka 0.7
Walker 0.7
Trent 1.4
Periera 1.9
There is not much between him and Wan Bissaka but one of them is considered the best at it.
Over the last two seasons he is also far superior in aerial duels
winning 3.7 per game vs
Trent 0.4
Wan bissaka 1
Ricardo 1.7
Walker 1.2
This is fairly impressive considering he’s out on the wing playing Right back and not in the middle of the box.

Now I know I have chosen specific stats that show the areas where he is better than these right backs but that wasn’t the point of this thread. It was to point out how underrated he is.
His other stats are not far behind but I think his attacking stats are particularly impressive for a smaller team.
Conclusion: Doherty is massively underrated and has been an extremely good rb for wolves over the past two seasons and he’s easily in the top 5 in the league at rb.
