What is he good at?

What is he good at?

Wafting his foot over ball?

 

[Craig]

He was much better in the first few games.
Did Pep’s influence ruin his game?

Very predictable at the moment. I think he suffers because us playing slow against 11 behind the ball.

I think he’s still got freedom to attack players. Just think teams have sussed him out a bit. He’s got a lot of natural ability and at 21 plenty of time on his side to improve.

 

[hilts]

Not good again, a bit concerning, need Grealish back Asap

That and teams doubling and sometimes tripling up on him?

He’s doing well and next year I think we will see a Doku with better output numbers. I trust in Pep.

He's not doing well but we should always give players a full season. J wouldn't have him anywhere near the Liverpool game or a big champions league match.

Well I think he’s doing well and so does Pep.

He’s 21 he’s not a complete football player.

Good for you

The way I see it, there was an element of surprise about him early in the season, but once the PL found out how much damage he can do offensively, managers/players studied his style a bit and discovered he is a bit predictable in his style, and his weapons, no matter how dangerous, are a bit limited. At 21, though, I am sure he will make significant progress in the future. For me, a talented player, and I am always excited to see him, but right now, I would rely on Jack Grealish more.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Now I've rated Doku and I've defended him. When he's on it, he excites me. Classic winger who knows how to go outside his man.
But honestly, he's the last person you sub on if you want to simply play out the last ten minutes of game where you're suffering somewhat because the opposition can sniff a draw. Very strange sub decision by Pep.

But he didn't come on in the last 10 minutes, he came on with half hour left. He's a potential match winner, the game was there to be won, nothing wrong with Peps decision to bring him on at that moment.

 

[wolviedinho]

What is he good at?

 

[Bluewars]

Send him over to the RW because he's shite on the left. Doesn't have the game intelligence or end product to be a cut in winger, he came on and looked like he's played extra time back2back.

Simplify his game on the RW to 'beat your man and cross', that's it, poor kids brain is probably hot with all the instructions he's getting.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

I think he has taken some unnecessary criticism recently but today he was poor. He wasn’t alone though.

 

[vincent]

Don’t understand why we don’t give him a chance on the RW. The position we bought him for and the position he played at his previous club.

 

[Goldust]

Don’t understand why we don’t give him a chance on the RW. The position we bought him for and the position he played at his previous club.

Did you see him on the RW at the start of the season, he was woeful.

 

[Galvanoth]

He's a beast and is going to be very important for us

 

[Bluewars II]

Did you see him on the RW at the start of the season, he was woeful.

When did he play right wing, 45mins against Fulham was it?

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Give the lad a break ffs,hes 21 years of age just come into the best side in world football next season he will be the dogs bollocks .

 

[dronefromsector7G]

I think I’ll wait until next season to really judge him.

 

[DATOIA]

The problem isn't Doku, problem is that people lost the sense of hierarchy..

We have 100m treble-winner winger in Grealish, who earns 300K per week and has proven himself as a stable player throughout the entire 2022 / 2023 season. He is pro and should always be regarded as a regular starter...

Doku is 21 years old young player, who has proven nothing and who needs time to learn & become stable deliver of results.. Therefore he should be regarded as a valuable squad player, who is used during rotations or injury situations..

We have a lot of players like that.
Haaland, KDB, Foden, Bernardo & Grealish are our regular starters..
Julian, Doku, Bobb, Kovacic, Matheus are our bench / reserve players..

Same applies to
Ederson, Walker, Stones, Ruben, Ake, Rodri
and
Akanji, Guardiol, Rico, Gomez and Ortega

if we look from that perspective, Doku is a great addition, young & talented player, who can be rotated with regular starters whenever needed..
