His best performance in a blue shirt yesterday, thought he looked a class act …. then again the opposition weren’t up to much.
Completely agree.I think Jack will benefit from having a proper LB who makes the runs and help him create chances instead of CBs filling there ( Ake / Gvardiol )
For me they are rivals for the same spot, both with different qualities. It presents Pep with a dilemma for the upcoming games.Anyone think that it is time to try Jack as an 8 with Doku wide left?
Not sure it’s a dilemma Pep will know which games suit Grealish and which Doku, plus Doku can play right and rest Foden. So he can play both. I ‘d expect Grealish to play the bigger games though.For me they are rivals for the same spot, both with different qualities. It presents Pep with a dilemma for the upcoming games.
For the games where the opposition can hurt you on the break Grealish Is the natural choice because he doesn’t lose it, and he pulls markers away from others, like at old Trafford. In fact going into today’s game I thought that that team was our strongest and that Doku was best for games like today were the opposition sit back. But the way Doku played today he has to come into contention for the biggest games now because he crated lots and he didn’t give it awayNot sure it’s a dilemma Pep will know which games suit Grealish and which Doku, plus Doku can play right and rest Foden.

The thing is I honestly don’t care who starts between them. If it turns out that Doku is a miles better player for us than Jack in that role then fucking great stuff. It’s all about the teams success over any individual for me but I have a big issue with people using Doku’s performances as a stick to unnecessarily beat Grealish with.For the games where the opposition can hurt you on the break Grealish Is the natural choice because he doesn’t lose it, and he pulls markers away from others, like at old Trafford.

To have two such contrasting players available on the left wing can only be a good thing in the long run.The thing is I honestly don’t care who starts between them.

I reckon Pep is relishing the tough choices ahead.
It’s not a difficult concept to grasp is it, mate?To have two such contrasting players available on the left wing can only be a good thing in the long run.
Horses for courses. Control needed, Grealish. Creativity and directness needed, Doku.
