Manchester City loanee Tommy Doyle has been praised for his impressive performance in helping Wolves secure a 2-0 victory over West Brom in the FA Cup. Andy Thompson and Dave Edwards both commended Doyle for his efforts during the game, speaking to Matchday Live Extra.

The 22-year-old played the full 90 minutes in the match, displaying a maturity that contributed significantly to the win. Despite a chaotic environment during the Black Country derby, which was temporarily interrupted due to fan trouble, Doyle managed to maintain composure and deliver an outstanding performance.

According to WhoScored, Doyle made 87 touches at the Hawthorns, more than any other player, and completed 74 passes, the most by any player in the game. He recorded a pass success rate of 83.8% from the 74 passes, demonstrating his skill on the ball.

Doyle’s standout moment came when he almost provided an assist for Matheus Cunha with a remarkable cross to the back post. His overall performance earned him praise from Thompson, who described him as a “quality player.” Edwards also highlighted Doyle’s character, stating that he has tenacity and loves the physical aspect of the game, in addition to his excellent passing ability.

However, it seems that Doyle’s loan spell at Wolves may signal the end of his time at Manchester City. Wolves have an option to make Doyle’s loan move permanent for €5m (£4m), a decision they are likely to pursue. This means that Doyle may have already played his final game for Manchester City.

In summary, Tommy Doyle’s outstanding display in the FA Cup victory has garnered praise from pundits and further emphasized his potential. Despite the likelihood of a permanent move to Wolves, Doyle’s performance has undoubtedly left a lasting impression.
