Isn't a patch on him, however it's an unfair comparison given Bayern play in a way that suits Olise perfectly.

The way Bayern plays suits most wingers I think.

Olise plays wide and does 1v1s and has a fullback constantly overlap (so he goes inside) or underlap (so he passes through for them).

I think all wingers want to play like this.

I got pelters when he first signed but I can see the logic in why we brought him in mid season. Still has the makings of being very useful. Raheem Sterling didn't have a brilliant touch and had a tendency to waste gilt edged chances but did still contribute to +20.

I don’t think Pep will wear him and he will end up going the same way as Marmoush.

We were a much better team when Sterling was doing his thing, Sterling then went elsewhere and has done absolutely fuck all since. Semenyo and/or Marmoush might have been very useful in that City side. However, I don’t think it will work for either of them long term in this one.
 
the purple patch start was great after he arrived, but now look more and more odd. I bet we gave him brutal salary just like Marmoush but our tactics will not help them.
 
He just isn't cut out to play on the wing.

He should be a back up to Haaland. We have to buy another winger in the summer.

Feel like we've wasted 60 plus million on him. Just wasn't needed.
 
He has run very hot and ice cold this season but can be unplayable. Today was not that day, which meant almost everything of note came down our left, which allowed them to overload their right sided defence. Even so, Doku scored two worldies!!
 
Yet to see the fuss. Scored a few and looked decent on the break earlier in the season.

Now he can’t beat his man, awful fist touch and doesn’t score or assist. No impact whatsoever in the game.

I hope it’s just a settling in period as he is not very good on current showing.
 
He replaced Oscar Bobb, so you can't say we've regressed in that respect.

He has the ability to score 20 G/A in the Premier League, but you can't count on him when the level of competition increases, starting from the Champions League quarter-finals, when technical precision will be required.
 
He needs to be taken out of the team. Form is not there. The run went are on its hard to take anyone out. Might be a impact player but who do we turn to. Foden I would go to if he can get his creativity back. Got to change something. So him coming in and creating chances for Haaland with Cherki might work out.
 
Good rotation option but never a starter for us. Doesn't justify it. Needs to be dropped.

Good post. He’s better than Marmoush imho but he’s not the level we probably need
 
Every time the ball comes to him it turns into a battle to keep it.

Another proper shit Viana signing of a purple patch player.
 
Has pep changed his position ?

When he first came he was running at people & getting central in the box all the time now he’s just stuck out wide going backwards
 
Lacks the close ball control of a top winger. Cherki might be more suitable for a wide role. That is, play Doku and Cherki wide allowing them to roam a bit more freely and Haaland and Semenyo centrally.
