he’s now a hero but without that goal he’d be absolutely skinned alive.

he’s very young, didn’t have much time with pep, has to adapt to a new league and a new team (same as gvardiol basically). where’s the patience, what happened to a year under pep?

it was his second game, i think he was great.

It’s going to be fascinating to see how Pep develops Doku. Doku has unpredictability in his play while Pep prefers a system where every player recognise what to do. And what his teammate is doing.

Think hes changing our approach, signings like Doku, Kovacic and Nunes who are willing and confident enough to run with the ball in tight positions will open up other areas of the pitch.

Exciting! Very early indeed, but i haven't seen a city player that dangerous on 1v1. Sane as brilliant as he was, was more of a counter attacking player and not as good of a dribbler in tight spaces. Doku is more of a vinicious junior type winger which i think we lacked since the takeover, not that it turned bad for us. Again as i've said it is very early to judge but the signs are there. Hope it's the start of something special!

Wtf does raw mean? I don't remember Ferran Torres, Palmer or Alvarez being labelled as that early in their City careers. Its a bullshit term.

I see a clearly refined player in Doku who knows when to take on the full back, when to retain and recycle possesion, that was a highly technical run and finish which most wingers in the PL can't execute. He's grasped the Pep system within two games now he needs to continue learning and improving.

I called him raw on the evidence I saw before he signed. Yesterday he did look pretty damned assured of his mission, and his touches and techniques, which were always impressive but seemed to be used a bit randomly, were a lot more organised and smooth than I expected. He kept it clean, orderly and looked really focused and aware. Evidence of him being more of a heads up player than I expected, when carrying the ball into the box he several times had the balance and vision to playing sharp little low balls into dangerous areas. I expected a box of fireworks going off, I got a neat choreographed display. He looked a quality, refined footballer. Well done indeed.
