Mick hails striker Doyle

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has hailed striker Kevin Doyle after asking him to act as a lone striker in their 0-0 draw with Liverpool.

The point took the Molineux men to the 20 mark for the season in their battle to stay in the Barclays Premier League – and kept them out of the relegation zone.

McCarthy felt his side were well worth their point at Molineux thanks to a revamped 4-5-1 formation with Doyle up front on his own

He said: “If you see a better performance from a centre-forward than Doyle showed tonight, I would like to see it.

“If he had just managed a goal, it would have been one of the best all-round performances. He is physically strong enough to play that role.

“We changed the system and I don’t think our keeper had a save to make. I don’t think we were troubled.

“It was a really solid performance and it’s great to get off 19 points because we’ve been there for too long.”
