So why is he asked to not take risks or take players on yet doku is seemingly encouraged? Jack doesn’t have that burst of pace to beat a man and he thrives in space which when you play for city you don’t have.not top, that's Josko but a respectable vote share. Jack is a very talented player who is asked to play a contained role.
Doku is by no means perfect but they are our left wing options and for me doku is more likely to impact a game and can improveWas nodding away there till Doku came into your thinking, he’s so predictable it’s scary, again another who needs to improve quickly
I'm afraid not losing the ball is a prime requirement and that often turns the play round - it's the way Pep likes it and works pretty well - do you disagree?So why is he asked to not take risks or take players on yet doku is seemingly encouraged?

If you honestly think pep encourages Jack to get the ball and go backwards every time then I don’t know what to say
You noticed he stayed on when Bernie and Savinho got the hook I suppose? I think he'll start again on Sunday as he has all our games so far.Offers next to zero threat when the game's crying out for our wingers to produce something for the team. That's a performance that's going to see him spend a lot of time on the bench. Has to have an impact.
Your first sentence is pretty much exactly what I wrote on the match thread at half time. He’s a player that divides opinion. Most of the people that sit around me in the Stadium think the same as you and I but he also has a lot of supporters. In fact, quite a few voted him motm tonight, which I find baffling, but that’s one of the reasons this Forum works so well.Offers next to zero threat when the game's crying out for our wingers to produce something for the team.

Which Sav got himself taken off for not doing. Pep seemed pretty cross with him.I'd have to watch the game back to conclude how he played, but I'm not doing that. It was one of those where it's 'sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit.' He certainly worked his tail off defensively.
‘So predictable’ but yet he is the best in 1 v 1 situations.Was nodding away there till Doku came into your thinking, he’s so predictable it’s scary, again another who needs to improve quickly
Not sure what point you're trying to make about the subs? he was subbed off at the weekend when he had a very decent game. He started the last 2 before tonight, didn't start the first two.You noticed he stayed on when Bernie and Savinho got the hook I suppose? I think he'll start again on Sunday as he has all our games so far.
Sorry, he started our last three and confident will do so again against Arsenal. The point about him staying on when Sav & Bernie were taken off is pretty simple - Pep wanted him on the pitch.Not sure what point you're trying to make about the subs? he was subbed off at the weekend when he had a very decent game.

You might be right with him starting weekend I don't think it's unimaginable he starts against arsenal.Sorry, he started our last three and confident will do so again against Arsenal. The point about him staying on when Sav & Bernie were taken off is pretty simple - Pep wanted him on the pitch.
Totally different players.I think he seems a really sound person and is obviously loved around the club but for me he's just frustrating to watch the same Mahrez was but Mahrez could pull something out of nothing. Like someone else has said he doesn't have the pace to go past someone.
Great to see him back to his best. He is vital in these tight battles against the best European teams. He was superb last night against some of the best defenders in the world. Kept the ball all night long.MoTM tonight for me. Played really well overall.
