We’re never going to see the best of Semenyo playing on the right, Dreadful

Prob is he doesn't fit anywhere else unless you don't play haaland

 

[OrigamiNinja]

Doku is going to be fucked here.

 

[Ajm1985]

most of his shots outside the box get blocked and barely leave the ground, his dribbling goals and nifty finishes aren't a part of what I referenced at all

The first goal he scored for us in the league was literally outside the box

 

[ufo]

semenyo is not good enough to start for city

He should play near Haaland in the middle , he’s not a winger

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Doku put it exactly where he needed to to avoid the first defender. The players in the box need to be reading where that defender is and therefore where the cross is likely to go. Only one player escapes criticism here and it’s Doku - we’re a one-man team at the moment.

 

[waspish]

Doku has passed it along the floor every time the angle towards the pen spot wake up players

 

[Blu1]

Rather have savinho on genuinely

lol that’s how desperate we look lol but agree right now semenyo has been so poor for weeks

 

[lee one pen]

Doku has an unbelievable knack of missing every blue shirt when he crosses it.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Not great this is it .

It’s a Grealish situation all over again.

Spend an astronomical amount of money for one of the most exciting young talents in the league, and then play him in a position that takes away his biggest strength.

Completely dumbfounding.

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

every shot has been blocked...

 

[mattyads]

Prob is he doesn't fit anywhere else unless you don't play haaland

I agree, like Marmoush, no natural spot for him.

 

[Blueknows]

Feel sorry for doku here

Bet he's thinking what fucking more do you want me to do ?

 

[Mentis]

He got a free kick, why is he complaining?

 

[Mancityus]

Doku is passing back into center, surely Haaland would be able to figure out eventually and stop standing at the other end of goal behind everyone.

 

[East Level 2]

If doku had some teammates today we’d be flying

Might help if he passed to one of his teammates rather than just passing into space.

 

[ALDN_Ko]

We’ve got two players in Reijnders and Semenyo that were meant to be our box crashing extraordinares that have been incredibly static today. Reijnders is playing in the pivot so I don’t blame him but Semenyo. Shocking

 

[heslops barnet]

FFS Doku goes past his man, cuts it back annnnnnnd no city player can guess that's what hes about to do

Not sure Doku knows himself what he’s going to do, never mind his teammates

 

[Blu1]

One man team

We talking about reijnders ??

 

[Metal Biker]

Reijnders: "Hmm, so many options to choose from...i'll choose....shoot into a wall of legs!"
