This is why football is great. I love what I’ve seen from Doku but I also love what Grealish brings. Horses for courses innit but we are lucky to have such an embarrassment of riches.We are lucky to have both, don’t get me wrong, and this isn’t meant as a dig at Jack (though it might sound that way), but I just find it so so refreshing and exciting watching Doku for us. Going past someone is just so brilliant to watch.
Doku hasn’t done much different than Grealish did for us last season in the way he plays. Grealish has gone past defenders plenty of times. Doku does it in a different way, busy and quick with his feet. It is so tiresome seeing the comparisons between both players from our own fanbase, much of which I’ve seen on social media being completely distasteful. Personally I find Grealish exciting to watch. It will be great having him back on the left and Doku on the right.We are lucky to have both, don’t get me wrong, and this isn’t meant as a dig at Jack (though it might sound that way), but I just find it so so refreshing and exciting watching Doku for us.

Grealish gives us more control and is much better defensively. Doku is a direct threat. We now have 2 dynamite options on the left for different tests.This is why football is great.
