Did you watch it? Seriously, go watch that goal again because you're talking out of your arse and i can only assume youre mis-remebering it.We conceded because he gave a loose ball away, didn’t track back and a cross with no pressure was headed in. Your version of that goal is bollocks.
Well put. I might be guilty of using the term ‘raw’ when describing him but its purely based on his decision making. He will improve vastly the more he works with Pep. Twice tonight and at times during the previous games, he rushed a pass and kicked it straight out of play. He clearly has fantastic attacking attributes but still has so much experience to gain.My meaning was the need to develop his in game decisions. When to attack the byline/space and when to cut back and recycle the ball.
At the moment, Doku is doing too much of the former, whereas Grealish does too much of the latter.
I can see us using one control winger and one speed winger. So it'd be him and Foden as the speed guy with Jack or Bernardo as the control winger.I see Doku as a golden chance to liberate Grealish/Bernado from the touchline. I don't know why some "fans" see him as a tool to dig on them...
This will be Nunes. Grealish will be left and Doku rightMaybe well see Grealish tucking into the middle more than Foden? In any case once Doku plays I'm happy.

He is really poor off the ball. You can tell he simply hasn't ever played on a team where he had serious defensive responsibilities.Pretty enjoyable to watch Doku today. He produced some goal opportunities through his own ability, as well as through team play.
Good signs of things to come offensively. ;)
Off the ball, he's going to have to work a lot harder here, though -- Pep will sort that out.
He’ll have to improve his fitness levels another notch. I think a year should be ample time for him to adjust to the demands here at City. Let’s hope it’s less than that amount of time, though, if possible!He is really poor off the ball. You can tell he simply hasn't ever played on a team where he had serious defensive responsibilities.
You can tell his brain gets its different here and he needs to hustle back at this level. But his body simply doesn't respond well to chasing backwards.
Yeah i watched it, I didn't say he tried taking a man on I said he gave a loose ball away and they scored within 3 touches.Did you watch it? Seriously, go watch that goal again because you're talking out of your arse and i can only assume youre mis-remebering it.
We lost possession not because our winger tried taking a man on. It was through a poor touch in the opposition half, which could have been an the rest is shite and yone. When we lost it, we had 6 players behind the ball at the time to cover their 3 attackers and half a pitch to do so, that's plenty of cover to deal with it. it was poor defending and absolutely nothing to do with the type of winger we had on the pitch as you seem to be claiming.
