Even when it doesn't look pretty, he disturbs the defense and changes the game's dynamic. A lot of danger and chance creation comes from him.

There was also a moment in the first half when he was carrying the ball in the middle on the counterattack and TAA couldn't catch him. Some players are faster with the ball then they are without it, it happened before.

He needs to see the goalkeeper's positioning in the half second before he shoots. Alison basically leaves 70 percent of the goal here empty, but Alvarez still aims at the far post instead of the near post.

Exactly my thoughts. It can't be that a wide position should affect his performance so much, wing playmakers are not unicorns these days, it should make many things easier in fact. I think hes just not assertive enough and doesn't have the confidence that matches his ability.

Great player but he tends to let the game pass him a bit too often. For some reason not as good as all of his attributes suggest and I don't know why is that.

I said this before. His finesse curler is actually pretty good, but only from close range. Once he's around the edge of the box, his shots simply don't have enough pace on them. To really power up as much as possible in order to have decent power, he needs a longer time to set up and he doesn't...

This guy needs more crosses. I know you lose some control like that but its a worthy trade off. He is towering and this ability is simply not utilized nearly enough.

His awareness and wisdom on the pitch is fantastic. Took a leaf from Grealish's book today. Needs to work on his shot power though. He knows he doesn't have it so he is reluctant to shoot when he's in a good position.

Absolute masterclass by JD today The boy is out of this world.

What is actually amazing is how City is managing Doku's fitness, I don't think he has enjoyed a period this long where he hasn't had at least a small niggle in the last three years or so. With the way he plays and how explosive his injury risk is always high so props to the City staff (and...

My man can't shoot to save his life. Otherwise brilliant

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.

Would have been the ideal 8 if he could just score. He plays so well alongside Rodri, complements him perfectly.

I don't know why would I want to see lack of cooperation between Doku and Haaland, but since you see good cooperation between them please tell me what exactly you see so I can see it too.

I did, but I also caught all the others in which the two played. They don't work well together so far, either Haaland moves where he shouldn't or Doku's passes to him don't reach him. Hopefully they manage to develop some synergy soon because City needs it.

I told you guys. This guy has the potential to be a top 5 player in the world. Not to take away from a magnificent performance, but I am somewhat concerned by his lack of connection with Haaland. I expected more chemistry between the two, but so far they don't read each other very well.

IMO only Neymar is better in technique from this list, and I consider him more of a forward than a classic winger (hence not including Messi or Ronaldinho who also have better technique than Grealish).

Grealish is from a technical point of view, the best winger I have ever seen in my lifetime together with Luis Figo.

Madrid is monitoring Haaland constantly. For Florentino only him and Mbappe are certain hits, after the Hazard fiasco the old man doesn't want to make even the slightest risk anymore. But I honestly don't see any problem with the way he plays and because of that Florentino is delusional about...

Incredible match by Doku. He might already be the best winger in Europe by certain standards.
