11 | Jeremy Doku - 2023/24

[ken tali]

does he get every pass across goal right? no, does he succeed in every single dribble? no. but he somehow barely loses the ball. incredible feat for a winger who doesn't play safe at all

He has balls and selfbelief.he is not afraid to make mistakes and he knows he has the ability to get pas every defender in the world.proper winger and should be a starter almost every game.

Doku and Alvarez substitutions changed the game, both added some much needed life to our attack.

Did nothing to change the game. That was down to the Ake and Alvarez subs. At this point people are just seeing things that aren't there with this guy. It's genuinely weird.

I really want to lay a serious question as to the validity of "Grealish keeps possession better" because my eye test says they lose the ball at about the same rate.

I don’t even think the “keeps possession” stat matters one jot at the min with the way Grealish is playing. He’s not scored for 7 months. He has barely registered an assist and he is playing wide forward in the best side in the world. It beggars belief really. With KDB missing, we can’t afford zero goals and limited assists from our wide forwards…it puts too much pressure on Haaland. For the time being, Doku has to be in the team…losing possession more or not.

I thought when Nath came on it changed you cannot leave Ake out of this side

The arrogance to think you are the only correct one, when almost everyone (including fans, pundits and Pep) have praised him several times now.

Why can't you simply admit you were wrong?

Absolutely. It's not even his dribbling, but defenses are starting to bring two or 3 defenders. The third goal is because Simakan, as soon as Doku got in, was more focused on helping the LB than closing the space leaving Foden a lot of space there.

This is a wind up right?

Doku's ceiling > Sane/Sterling

Remarkable young player.

They moved two players out to cover him, didn't bother doing that when Jack was there.
Doku did make a difference alongside the other subs.
