Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter have been sharing their thoughts on the latest performance from Lilywhites full-back Matt Doherty in the north London club’s match against Leeds United. 

During the match against Marcelo Bielsa’s side at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, many Spurs fans flocked to Twitter to share their thoughts on the Irishman’s display against the Yorkshire club, with many not feeling very positive on the defender.

How well can you remember Spurs' season so far? 1. Who is Spurs' top scorer in all competitions so far this season?

So, what did these Spurs fans have to say about Matt Doherty’s performance against Leeds?

“Doherty genuinely looks completely out of his depth. I know we just bought him but the sooner he leaves the better for everyone.” 

@thfcro

“Please just play Tanganga at rb. Doherty is a donkey” 

@philip_thfc

Doherty is really quite poor #COYS”  

@emma_mp

“don’t let this performance distract you from the fact that ben davies isn’t good and doherty is downright awful” 

@spagyama

“Even with the daft mistakes Aurier is clear of Doherty who just does not seem to know how to play in our setup.” 

@rporter84

I cant remember Doherty completing a single forward pass. It’s incredible how poor he is #thfc” 

@TheProLounge

Spurs signed the 28-year-old back in the previous summer transfer window from fellow Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers for a fee of £15.12 million.

Who should be Spurs' first choice right-back?

Looking at these tweets from this group of Spurs fans, it’s apparent that they are not happy with what they saw from Doherty against Leeds – and he was later sent off in the dying minutes.

With Spurs also having Serge Aurier in their squad who has made eight appearances in the league so far this season, Doherty could be in danger of losing his place in the team unless he fixes up his performances if he gets the chance.
