Once he get’s that final ball right, he will be great. That’s the only thing letting him down atm. He just needs to look up, show some composure, and make the right pass.

Had a decent game today, but needs to work on his end product/final ball.

Which is kinda fundamental.

Barring that one time he tried to pass to Nunes, I didn't think his decision making was too bad. It was more his execution that was a little off.

On another note, he looked a lot better tonight than his first couple of post-injury outings.

Some right weirdos in here. The guy is all or nothing in his style, he's bound to lose the ball more than most. It needs a bit of tuning from pep and it will happen, hes barely played a dozen games for us ffs. If you can't see the frightening prospect we have on our hands you really should be picking a different sport to follow. He's a massive threat for us even if things aren't coming off.

Doku is in the same category as haaland and kdb with their ability to impact the game just by their presence on the pitch. He offers the threat in behind and the 1v1 abilty that's almost unique to him in our squad, it changes how the opposition deal with us when he's in the pitch in the same way haaland just being on the pitch does

Considering he got slaughtered for it last game and rightly so, it's worth pointing out his work rate tonight was the best it's been, definitely a case of the message sinking in and saw an extra effort to work his arse off going the other way. Think he won the ball back about half a dozen times for us in our own third.

He made 4 key passes tonight.

The best per game average for a player in the league this season is 2.9.

It’s a numbers game. Not every pass / cross that is trying to make something happen will find its target; in fact, a high percentage won’t.

He will improve his final ball but the fact that he gets into position to play them is very encouraging.

 

[hilts]

Will improve

Brilliant player to watch but his final ball is a frustration , at this point in his development its understandable but if Pep can show him how to make the right decisions in the next couple of years he will be unstoppable. This kid has so much potential , he's a rough diamond so Pep will have to work his magic.

I really want to see him play with big man for few games regularly and see how they pair up.
