So he got one right then out of about 25? My point was it’s not easy and yes Doku was poor today along with many others

So make the pitch even narrower with Foden cutting in from the other side? The mistake Pep made was starting Alvarez over Bernado. He then made another by not moving Foden centrally when Bernie came onHe was knackered Bobb should have been his replacement

And when you're being dishonest?If I’m being honest Grealish hasn’t been as good as Doku this season. You can mention last season but I can’t use last season because both of them didn’t play in the same team last season.

He doesn't do anything. Yesterday he was given the ball in promising positions over and over again and failed to beat his man.
I remember when we signed Sterling and Sane. Despite both being frustrating they had some end product. Doku just doesn't. If he does beat his man he often ends up kicking the ball straight at the defender.

Poor game today, I thought many times in the first half he went missing when a ball was often on, not the same player since his injury.He doesn't do anything. Yesterday he was given the ball in promising positions over and over again and failed to beat his man.

Just don't like him as a player. I've never really warmed to this type of player because they're incompatible with a Pep team. His end product is nonexistent, he always seems overly anxious and he's not good enough to knit close passes together in the final third like the rest of our players. Basically, he's a little better than Adama Traore.
Happily give him time because Pep players take a notoriously long time to adapt, but I don't think he'll make it here.
There's no way he's a better player than Bobb and Palmer.

It's not just that for me. It's that he offers nothing off the ball either. All season he's never once made the run in behind the fullback or between the fullback/CB. He's too static.Poor game today, I thought many times in the first half he went missing when a ball was often on, not the same player since his injury.

Last couple of games he has been involved in , have been thinking the same. Needs more end product. His pace frightens defenders but they deal with the rest of his game so he becomes less effectual.Adama Traore vibes at times

I'm inclined to think Bobb or Palmer is a better player than him at the moment. So far, he looks rather limited in what he can do.
He was given so many balls and space against Chelsea. He could have attacked more aggressively and should have created chances, but what he often did was to waste time by pausing to take on the defender/s and then passing back mechanically time and again. It slowed down our attack and can be frustrating esp. when we were behind, and needed to score goals.
He is a right winger and used to play mostly on the right before City. Pep could train him to take on a RW role.
