Klopp is not that stupid. Even against midtablw teams he protects him. Talk less playing City. Especially with a new exciting young dribbler.

I'll bet my house he is never left 1 v 1 vs Trent.

Good. That'll mean someone else is unmarked

We targeted Trent at the game at our place last season almost as much as we did Milner a few weeks ago. It was our sole tactic for 90 minutes (hence Grealish having the game of his life coupled with a goal and assist) and Klopp didn't bother changing things that day.

It's one thing knowing it's happening, it's another thing stopping it. Plus, it'll be Salah in front of Trent who isn't exactly known for his defensive help.

He doesn't have the midfielders anymore to protect him.

I'd expect them to double with one of the 3 midfielders

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Good signing

 

[Irishblue93]

If you include his goal for Renne the week before he signed for us he is already into double figures for G/A this year(4G/6A). If he managed to get double figures for both that would be one hell of a season for a 21 year old

 

[Beanhead]

Love Doku but I don't see him being a Colossus at the back like Vinny. That's taking things too far

I see what you did there.

Good signing

Great signing

does anyone have any insight about whether it is possible for him to increase his sprint endurance? He probably one of if not the quickest players I've seen over a few yards to accelerate, but doesn't appear to be able to sustain longer sprints if breaking away from deeper. Is that something that can get better with our medical science team? if he could add that to his physical attributes god help any full back.

I was interested to know that as well. I’m sure it can be improved, but maybe not much.

I’m also wondering what his acceleration figures are, I see a lot of top speed stats for players but nothing re acceleration.

Put him on a rack and stretch his legs.

Cracking wee compilation vid of his time here so far. Mental to thing all that has come from a 2 month period.

Also, side note how many chances did he put on a plate for haaland there that were completely fluffed. Should have had 3/4 more assists easily!

The answer of that question is two, one against West Ham and another against Young Boys. They haven't developed any kind of relationship on the pitch so far.

 

[Edghill OG]

He's a little wizard. Great little burst of speed from a standing start and he seems to find a few different ways of beating his opponents and keeps them guessing. Nobody can handle his quick feet so far. Didn't realise how young he is either until I Googled it over the weekend.

We all say it isn't going to last forever but the futures looking bright too. Foden, Alvarez, Gvardiol, Haaland and now Doku all in their early 20's. The likes of Rodri and Dias only in their mid 20's and then there's players coming through the academy such as Rico. What a time to be a blue!

 

[skillman]

Taking the piss by the end. Must be a defender’s nightmare, there’s genuinely no weakness in his game. And that includes work rate and ability to defend down the wing.

Txiki masterclass.

 

[Phil1]

He’s going to be a lot of fun!! Haha!

 

[SamTheGuru]

I know it was only a cameo this evening, but I think we have something special here.

He is and will most likely continue to be, top top quality, loved Sane, still do, but this guy offers so much more now and potentially.

 

[iTyler]

His potential is mental. I really liked Cole Palmer, and still do, but can't argue at this replacement.

 

[Goldust]

He’s like getting a pick a mix as a kid
Lol. Can we get him and grealish in the team together.
