There’s a lot of bias. Kev made 8 unsuccessful crosses tonight before he assisted Phil.

Looks like to me there are some fans who support Jack more than City.

Yet ended up with a goal and two assists.

There may be the odd one who goes over the top but there are more who give him unfair criticism just because they’ve never taken to him and continued to do so even when he was playing regularly last season and playing very well.
They are worse than the happy clappers without a doubt.

Thought he was good last night.

Same. Thought he looked a real threat.

69 mins
54 touches
31/33 passes completed (94%)
Key passes - 2
Big chances created - 1
Crosses 2/2 (100%)
8/14 ground duels won (57%)
5/9 dribbles completed (56%)

He's a very good player. His ability to win the majority of his duels is one of his biggest strengths.

Bizarre thread this there seems to be no middle ground.

I thought last night we looked excellent and totally dominating with Jack on, was doing some good things was looking like he was heading back into form - was coming in his cameo at the weekend.

When he went off we lost some shape, Pep tweaked it at half time and we dominated again with Doku on.

Two great players to have in the one position who bring very different things. Doku las night looks like he is listening and mixed his game up with rotating possession as well as attacking his winger. Didnt come off all the time but he is learning and will get there.

My take - Jack is brilliant and was key to the trophies last year and fits like a glove into our system. Doku is young and learning and will fit like a glove in Peps new version of our system. Not sure why it is Jack OR Doku - they are both superb and allow Pep to change things around. What a problem for Pep to have!

Was that time last season?

Mainly games that KDB was not involved right from last season to this one.

He is a good player, he just needs to be better at making decisions and then he will be a great player. He reminds me of Vinicius who was even worse than Doku at the same age, and look at him now.

He was also involved in all 3 goals and created numerous chances.

Kev made two key passes in the game as did Doku.

The point is that Kev, who is the best player in the world and far more experienced than Doku, makes lots of passes and crosses that come to nothing and that is fine because creating goals is not easy and you need to have numerous attempts. Kev is not slated for that but young Jeremy is. People are not judging Doku fairly, IMO, and frankly lack a full appreciation of reality.
