But he still looked more comfortable on the ball in the first team a lot sooner. It did take a while for Phil to get fully to grips with the tactical side of the game.

How do you know he can't improve that much ?Because of the way he is comfortable with the ball at his feet?
Age and you can't really teach technique once playing in the first team. Any improvements is mostly mental and tactical. Not suggesting Doku can't improve the latter attributes.How do you know he can't improve that much ?

Do you think Stones knew how to play in midfield before he got into the first team?Age and you can't really teach technique once playing in the first team. Any improvements is mostly mental and tactical. Not suggesting Doku can't improve the latter attributes.
Again that is tactical and I know you are baiting me on this.Do you think Stones knew how to play in midfield before he got into the first team?

I’d agree with you if you’d added that players at Carrington never improve their technique once they hit the first team.Again that is tactical and I know you are baiting me on this.
Pep is renowned as the master of improving players technique, body positioning and tactical awareness, along with pausa and control.
He made Fabien Delph a centurion left back!
Doku won't improve greatly on his technical ability but no doubts he will improve the rest of his game if he does listen and fully take on board what Pep wants.I’d agree with you if you’d added that players at Carrington never improve their technique once they hit the first team.

He is still not perfect with that. His defensive work could still do with improving at times.But he still looked more comfortable on the ball in the first team a lot sooner. It did take a while for Phil to get fully to grips with the tactical side of the game.
Pep does go apeshit from time to time at Phil at that aspect but attacking wise it is near enough perfect.He is still not perfect with that. His defensive work could still do with improving at times.
