I think he is being over managed. When he first came he was raw and unpredictable, had a bag of tricks and always managed to get a shot off.
Now he gets the ball and he has five conversations going on in his head. He has become risk averse. You saw how long Pep was coaching Grealish before he came on. Literally pecking his head for 5 minutes. The result of this is a player that doesn't use their own instinct anymore, they always play it safe.
He’s the one player who creates a bit of excitement. Yes he’s inconsistent but compared to our other options at least he has pace and brings the ball forward. He does need to track back but then none of our starting 11 have been great at it this season. This for me has been the worst aspect of the season, not the defeats but the lack of memorable games, so many boring games, particularly at home.
He's like a hybrid of Traore and Saint Maximan.A slower Adama Traore but slightly better on the ball
Pretty much around the same level
He's like a hybrid of Traore and Saint Maximan.
He's absolutely not at the required level. He's had one good game against West Ham last season.
That's about it.
Comparing Doku to Sterling and Mahrez isn’t fair as both had premier league experience, mahrez a substantial amount. I’m not saying he is or may get to this level but writing him off at this point is pathetic. It would be easier to say who has played consistently well.That sounds like a Southampton fan talking about Tyler Dibling.
Doku is an epiotme of how far the club have allowed the quality to decline because we have gone from having 20 goals, 20 assists a season players like Mahrez and 30 goal a season contributor wingers like Sterling to players like Doku. Of whom we are counting his runs up the pitch as a quality.
He has one more season to prove himself at City.
You can't be serious. a world class dribbler would be in full control of the ball, this lad never is. £55 million, good Grief.He's arguably the best dribbler in the world.
Everyone keeps waiting for the penny to drop with him but its the same still almost every single game. Looks like he should be adding 10 goals and 10 assists a season but he's far off that and doesnt appear to be progressing.Dunno mate, if you're going to pick a single game, Bournemouth would probably be the one last season.
Personally like him and think he's actually exciting. Needs to improve but at least he's interesting
And he only has one more year because there are even bigger issues elsewhere and it can’t all be resolved in one window - it’s a 2 year job. If we’d not neglected the squad planning of late, Doku would be on my list to sell this summer.That sounds like a Southampton fan talking about Tyler Dibling.

That’s utter bollocks to be honest to say he’s only had one good game. Agree if he doesn’t improve your first sentence could be correctHe's like a hybrid of Traore and Saint Maximan.

He’s definitely a world class dribbler. Just the next bit after that can look a bit league 1 at timesYou can't be serious. a world class dribbler would be in full control of the ball, this lad never is. £55 million, good Grief.

Doku, probably won’t get there but i’m absolutely convinced Savinho will.He's a flash in the pan. We've released better wingers from the academy than Doku, and Jesus Navas was more effective even at 37/38.
His name shouldn't even be thought of when mentioning SWP, Leroy Sane, Raheem Sterling or Riyad Mahrez.
I can't believe fans' expectations have actually dropped so low to think Doku and Savinho are 'City quality'.
Approaching 75 games for us and his return isComparing Doku to Sterling and Mahrez isn’t fair as both had premier league experience, mahrez a substantial amount.

A bit pointless to beat a man and then do the sum total of fuck all with the ball. Anyway not the answer to the wide left position.In pretty much every list of successful dribblers he's at or near the top. If he's still got the ball when he's beaten a player, and he regularly does that as well as anyone else about, then he had control of the ball. If your suggestion is that he's lucky to still have the ball, as he wasn't in control of it, then he should just sit at home and play the lottery, because his luck apparently beats nearly every other world class dribbler.
Other areas of his game are nowhere near this level, but it's hardly controversial to say he's one of the best dribblers, and has a say in being the best.
Doku, probably won’t get there but i’m absolutely convinced Savinho will.
