11 | Jeremy Doku - 2023/24

[Haaland94]

He is a great prospect, but he has a long way to go. Nowhere near ready to start every week. As others have already said, he needs to work on his end product.

Looked good recently. Shite today. Most did tbf to him though.

So based on one performance where the whole team was way of it he shouldn’t be starting?

Which Manchester City attacker was better than Doku today?

I would say not one of them.

No end product today but was still our best attacker by far. Never went missing always wanted the ball and tried to get us back in the game.

Agree, stayed lively all game.

To be fair to him I thought he was the best of an extremely bad bunch despite not much coming off for him. He was a threat and kept going.

 

[TrentGrisham]

He wasn't shit but he's certainly raw. Maybe everyone will appreciate what Grealish brings to us a bit more now.

What is that exactly?

 

[Trojan1962]

This lad has a long way to go but he has time on his side. He like others were not great today

 

[Gabriel]

Hard going for him today. No way that Ake could go beyond him (he was stretched defensively), so Doku was quite easily stymied. He also faced 3 defensive players at times, and the support from midfield was sporadic and often ill-judged.

I take your point on board. He has shown nothing but positive signs of great potential thus far, but I would still prefer Grealish in the big games right now. Of course, Grealish has been poor against Newcastle (after his injury) and had a short cameo today. Nevertheless, if everyone is fit, I still see Doku as an impact sub, not an immediate starter.
