I don't think how good you are technically is the be all and end all of determining whether you are better than another player.He’s very poor technically, nobody can deny that. Whoever said he’s better than Sane wow
I agree on defensive distribution part. The dribbling bout part is 50/50. Half the time the defender gives him.the ball where he is forced to dribble out or pass back to a defender who can be easily pressed.The only thing he really needs to work on is his defensive contribution. Sometimes he tries to dribble out from deeper areas when a simple pass is the better option. But the rest of his game is superb and gives us another dimension.
Hit and miss and is still finding his feet in the team. Wasn't too impressive vs Wolves (where he did start in that game).How so, please elaborate?

I can't blame him for taking the responsibility in that scenario. Jack sometimes finds himself in this scenario too. And tries to hold on and earn a foul than pass back to a less skilled defender.
I like that ' I'll take responsibility' attitude.
I've said this before but the rosy retrospection for Sane more than any other player in the Pep era is comical. There were games where Sane looked like he literally couldn't control the simplest of passes. If you want to compare Doku's technical ability to Sterling, fair enough, but I think Doku is already better technically than Sane was.He’s very poor technically, nobody can deny that.

Leroy Sane is a fucking saint and he would've won the Ballon d'Or if it hadn't been for those pesky kids!I've said this before but the rosy retrospection for Sane more than any other player in the Pep era is comical.

Doku is a diamond in the rough. His biggest asset, obviously, is his pace. One-on-one, he can almost always dribble pass his defender.
Doku's downside is his lack of technical ability - he's simply not great at passing, shooting at goal, ball retention, etc. Maybe he'll develop these skills (I doubt it) over time.
For me, Doku is - at present - a sort of Benjamin Mendi reincarnate - very pacy... but not much else.

Doku won't be in our side in 2 years time because he isn't good enough.You don’t know much about football do you, nevermind.

The fuck are you talking about? He’s nothing like Mendy lol. You must be on a wind upDoku is a diamond in the rough. His biggest asset, obviously, is his pace. One-on-one, he can almost always dribble pass his defender.

Come back to this thread and my post at season's end - one of us will have changed our mind.The fuck are you talking about? He’s nothing like Mendy lol. You must be on a wind up
So the Belgian Samaras?Doku is a diamond in the rough.
Doku won't be in our side in 2 years time because he isn't good enough.
I could be wrong - and maybe he'll improve at passing, ball retention, goal scoring and decision making - but this is my take.
Football is about opinions however I disagree. Sane technical ability for a speedy winger is world class, how he strikes the ball is something unfortunately Doku will never be able to achieve.I've said this before but the rosy retrospection for Sane more than any other player in the Pep era is comical.

What the fuck are you talking about? So far for us he's shown an incredibly high passing, shooting and ball retention ability. As high as literally every other player in this team. I would suggest those are his best assets so far. This is an incredibly bizarre thing to suggest following his first month in the team. In what match did he show himself to be bad at passing/shooting?!Doku is a diamond in the rough. His biggest asset, obviously, is his pace. One-on-one, he can almost always dribble pass his defender.
