Michael Owen ‘Hammers’ Matt Doherty – “He’s not a good enough defender”

Michael Owen was looking back on the North London Derby on Premier League Productions, Michael Owen doesn’t seem to fancy Matt Doherty at right-back for Jose Mourinho’s side.

“Right from the start. There was so much space,” Owen said of the area Doherty was responsible for.

“Kieran Tierney getting loads of opportunities down that left-hand side. And Doherty, I think everybody seen him as a wing-back for Wolves and playing fantastically well as that.

“But I really don’t think he’s a right-back. He’s not a good enough defender.

“Granted that he didn’t get much help from the likes of Gareth Bale. And a lot of the time, it was Hojbjerg who was going to double up with him.

“But virtually every promising Arsenal attack came from that left-hand side of Arsenal’s.”
