11 | Jeremy Doku - 2023/24

Our biggest threat on Saturday. Yes he gave the ball away a lot but at least he didn’t hide. And the fact he didn’t hide meant that he was still involved all the way through.

Gusto was fantastic too, though. A good battle between them where both got the better of one another all game.

Who'd have thunk there are good full backs to be had!!!

In the Chelsea clip at 60 mins you can see he still manages to get a good ball in but look at the 6 Chelsea players all in a line between him and Haaland right at the back.

Some people need to remember he’s 21. He’s a few months older than Bobb.

IMO no one at the club would have expected him to be better than this in his first season.

Thank you for this video.

Ignore the idiots Jez.

Keep giving him the ball.

This clip will probably make many people have a rethink.
That’s why it’s not good to join a bandwagon.

Look at the Sterling goal. Doku did not bother to move an inch when Palmer ran forward past him.

Palmer and Sterling created far more and worked much harder than Doku. And I am sure Pep would not tolerate this kind of behavior when Sterling was 21. Pep would not give Palmer another minute if he did that on the pitch.

Walker was at fault for that goal and nothing to do with Doku.
Moreover, Doku needs to be in a specific position in case of transition.
Using just a moment to judge a player is not good. I can accept if opposition fans are doing this
But it's a shame some of our fans delight in putting down our own player.

The biggest issue we have with Doku when he plays is over-reliance. Everything, and i mean EVERYTHING was going down that side. We need more balance, he needs a foil next to him and someone who can control when he gets the ball and give him more options when he does have it. That's one of the reasons Alvarez doesn't work there, IMHO.

Didn’t Doku try to tackle Palmer and fall over well inside Chelsea’s half? By the time he got up Palmer had already played it forward

He’s West Ham level. We will get our money back if it doesn’t work out.

Some twatty-arsed comments on here.

 

[Mazimee]

Doku is increasingly getting on my nerves with too many back passes. I wanted him to be more, sadly he is not living upto that expectation.

Lol

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Lol

I swear posters were mad at him on the matchday thread for trying to take on players, they said it was unnecessary as all we had to do was hold the ball and grind out the result and now the problem is he kept possession and passed the ball back. I don't think Doku can win with sone posters here, it's just isn't possible.

His role changed when we scored. No need to lose the ball, so became more passive.

It’s what needed to happen and why Brentford didn’t get much of a sniff.

No I was talking about Sterling's goal.

KDB had a loose touch when the ball fell between KDB and Jackson. At that moment Doku and Palmer was side by side. Then Palmer spirited forward and made a wonderful pass back to Jackson but Doku stayed and watched.



moment later

He did his job well after we scored. Nice and simple ball retention.

I don't understand the negativity against Doku.

He played out of his skin pretty much from his first game for us and everyone was shagging him.

He has a few off moments (in games where the whole team was off their best) and now people are acting like he's crap.

At this point I think he needs to hire a better PR team
