11 | Jeremy Doku - 2023/24

In love with the kid, what a player.

The Michael Hughes sale still pisses me off. Mostly because it was the first time I was old enough to realise that we’d sold a talent unnecessarily.

I was probably 11 or 12, but it was the first time I felt anger towards Swales.

There’s probably a thread in pinpointing when you were first pissed off by Swales.

Was gutted by that sale. Thought he had a lot of potential. Being originally from Northern Ireland too, I was very disappointed by his sale. That late 80s to mid 90s we lost some pretty decent young talent from the club that could have had good/long careers with us Hughes, Lennon, Lomas, Flitcroft (don’t think this was on Swales though).

Why are people saying he didn't track back during the goal? He sprinted back, it's just that gvardiol got nutmegged so coufal got a massive headstart by gambling.. these things happen all the time. Really stupid to say he "strolled"

I look forward to seeing more of him. If we can use that trio of Erling, Julian and Jeremy more often, we're in for exciting stuff.

Does he track back?

Excellent performance overall.

His touch and chase back for their goal were bobbins, there was also another chase back in the second half that was very half-hearted.

Other than that he was a huge threat. Coufal is a good defender and he had him all over the shop.

Much like Kyle Walker with his mistake for SheffUtd’s goal, he made up for it afterwards.

Pep needs to keep playing him while he’s buzzing with confidence! Only young so fitness shouldn’t be an issue currently

Kid looks really good. 1v1 machine. Dangerous cutting in on the right, dangerous cutting out to the left. Gave Coufal a torrid time that they had to double up on him.

Unlucky he didn't get an assist. Can't wait to see more of him.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

It's early but what a beast, what a handful. Fast, solid and not afraid to have a go, just what we need on that left wing. Jacky boy's got his work cut out IMO

Has anyone come across a clip of Doku scoring , with the camera behind him?

The goal looks like it was squeezed through the smallest window, which that camera angle would show perfectly.
