11 | Jeremy Doku - 2023/24

We can agree here. I think he is an upgrade on both Sterling and Sane, and it's not even close. When it's all said and done, he has the potential to be one of our all time greats (if he avoids injuries). An isanely talented lad. Him, Gvardiol, Rodri, Dias, Foden, Haaland and Alvarez will be like Kompany, Toure, Zabaleta, Silva and Aguero for us in the future. We have lost the battle today, but we will win the war long-term ;).

Stop reading at upgrade on sane and raz, fucking hell , this kid might prove to be in a few seasons time but saying that now, just no

Potential-wise. I worded that wrong. Of course, right now, he is not better in terms of pure ability. I just see it in him already that he will end up better. Of course, as long as he stays injury-free...

Doku himself says he needs to learn to make more runs. No matter how good he is with the ball, its just too static and predictable to have him glued to one spot and just get the ball to his feet. Wolves defenders were in position every time in the second he received the ball. He needs more situations like the one against West Ham where there is space to run with the ball, or if there isn't, play with a greater range, move between the lines and switch wings.

Not Sane or Scott Sinclair. Just good

That's where the ball needs to be moved quicker. Kovacic, phillips, nunes can't do what rodri can unfortunately and also someone like bernardo silva who can suck in multiple players and turn with the ball and instantly create gaps for others to exploit. I've still seen doku turn his man in tight spaces though, he's quite good at dragging the ball past a defender on his outside when the defender is right up his arse. When doku is in full swing with this team and he feels fully comfortable to take control, I think he's gonna be frightening

That is why their wing back Semedo pushed up so high up the pitch when Wolves built up. Lead to their 2nd goal. After Nunes subbed off we did not have any threat in long distance from left hand side. Ake was exposed.

Not disagreeing with your point but watch Grealish most weeks and he’s clearly told to hug the left touch line

Yeah, that’s where 352 can work well against our current set up. Especially with basically nothing on the right. 3 on Haaland and one of those can come over to the right if the wingback pushes on.

 

[MarsLlama]

Wonderful cameo. Many were expecting a player for the future; he's ready to contribute now. I reckon he'll score a few huge goals this season.

 

[Irishblue93]

Great start to his career here
