Well yeah there is that. And the helicopter that takes him to away games.

Always found the entire idea of the player forum a bit problematic. It lends itself to this sort of stuff.

Does feel like that. His anti fan club are definitely desperate for him to fail. Very weird reaction to a game in which he was very good after he came on. This really shouldn’t be Grealish vs Doku either. Each player has to earn their place in the team and if Pep picks them they’ve earned it...

Lovely lad. Great finisher. Never ever ever in a million years is he a midfielder though and I have not the faintest idea why Pep thinks he is. His numbers are great granted, but yesterday was a woeful performance from him and quite frankly it’s a disgrace that Foden ended up on the right wing...

Decent performance without being brilliant. First half the team was woeful and him and Phil were our only attacking threats. Speaks volumes that everyone looks for him every chance they get.

I thought we were poor first half against Brentford. But that today was awful first half. Doku only dangerous player. Pep picking Nunes Alvarez and Akanji centrally behind Haaland meant no technical quality or service for Erling. Second half subs made some difference. Tempo and fluency got...

Agreed. I think we're at the point that he has more than enough appearances/starts this season to be able to do a bit of bench time. Even from a minutes played POV Alvarez must be reaching rest time (Phil will need one soon too reckon). Anfield selection if everyone if fit will give us an...

Yes, I think what changed is someone told Julien to stop bother dropping into midfield as he kept giving the ball away. After that Phil played A LOT like Gundo did at his best for City. Dropping deep, dictating play, but then also getting into the box and being dangerous as a goal threat...

Yes, he's got an excellent goal return. Which has been really important especially with KDB and Erling out for as long as they were out for. But in terms of fitting into Pep's system, I totally disagree. He doesn't fit because he's nowhere near the technical level needed. Probably the least...

Overall a really strong performance in an attacking sense. Still think we were defensively poor at times. Not so much structurally but just individuals not playing at a high level of not showing composure. Phil is quietly morphing into Gundo in terms of his ability to affect games both on and...

I have a theory that last season in the run in certain games were too tight. Our 'control' led to fewer and fewer real big chances being created, which culminated in the CL final, which was won by a single goal and really had Lukaku not missed that header, could've gone either way. This season...

I'm not sure that this is about the ESL, it's just more about the reality of the power that United/Arsenal/Liverpool have historically wielded at PL board level. The majority of supporters are unhappy because of the noise that Masters has allowed the aforementioned clubs to make about City. It...

I think my post is entirely fair mate! Pep ball is whatever Pep chooses it to be in any given season. He picked Sterling about 300 times over his City career, and if Doku can make half the impact Raz did he'll be a star for years to come. The sky is indeed the limit!

It is a really strange situation they find themselves in, because the backdrop to this is the plateauing of the TV rights deal (domestically at least). The 'product' they sell is the very one they're currently undermining in a desperate attempt to circumvent an independent regulator. The whole...

IMO money trumps right/left politics. Starmer will need excellent relations with Abu Dhabi for financial reasons just like the Conservatives do.

I think we'll learn a lot from the Everton appeal decision. Everything you say about the opaque nature of the PL, and the misnomer of calling the panel "independent" is absolutely true. If I look at the league table, I have the feeling that the PL are absolutely not going to want Everton to be...

Quite mad that there's already an entrenched minority of people who after 10 games or something think he's not good enough for City. He's clearly getting the Bluemoon Raheem Sterling treatment. All feels a bit pantomime and obviously incredibly premature.

He's a fucking rat. I hope he fails miserably.

Once people make their mind up about a player becomes hard to move them from those hills. Doku is an insane talent that we're lucky to have. I've heard rags and scousers use him as an example of why our recruitment is so good and why our recruitment structure is so important. Pep didn't know...

For sure. Grealish playing the position Doku played yesterday would've been delicious. Doku still had the highest xA of the XI that started the match.
