The dream move doesn’t always go according to plan, as Shane Duffy and Matt Doherty have learned in the last few months. Things are a bit more tricky for Matt at Spurs and while a lot of the issues affecting Shane at Celtic can be fixed, Matt is suffering a bit from the ‘Mourinho Effect’ at Tottenham. He had serious doubts about Serge Aurier and when he signed Matt, Mourinho was looking for someone who was more reliable defensively that Aurier. But they've not progressed as a team since Mourinho went in there. It's going the same way things went at United and Matt Doherty has been caught up in that.
