11 | Jeremy Doku - 2023/24

[Dialog]

Perfect sub at the moment, next season hopefully much more impact from the start, his dribbling alone is a massive weapon, he will learn the rest.

Only thing left to learn is scoring more and assisting more. He has improved in all departments, defensively, tracking back, pausa and such...

 

[HaalandEffect]

He is not a scorer, he is a assister and streching the defenders more wide

 

[Craig]

He’s currently very much an impact sub in away games. His cameos from the bench have been superb in comparison to when he has started. Had Porro on toast.

Forgetting 3 of his last 4 starts

 

[bluemoonste]

He's got something no other player has in the world right now.....a rough diamond that will be polished to a crown

 

[Dialog]

He is not a scorer, he is a assister and streching the defenders more wide

He is very young, he can still learn to do that. Once he does, he becomes unplayable and unpredictable. He becomes the best winger in the league.

 

[youngbob]

Massive contribution tonight. Well done, lad.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Was really good off the bench last night. Great to bring on last 20 minutes.

 

[Skrastins]

He is not a scorer, he is a assister and streching the defenders more wide

in time he will add that to his games and will pick his shots more wisely. upside is huge for him

 

[MANCtrigger]

Incredible run for that ball, incredible how he passes that defender,.. all within 6 seconds starting from halfway the pitch.

The lack of affection this kid got this season from Man City fans in inexplicable to me. While someone like Bobb gets nothing but constant praise for every touch he makes, Doku is always questioned and criticized. The majority of people seem to think that disliking him makes them seem knowledgeable or cool. It must have been hard for him. But he deserves much love and support because he simply makes this team more dangerous. Pep knows that and trusts him, hopefully the detractors remember that.

Wtf are you on about ? We get he is in his first season in a new country but we can talk about him game by game , for some reason you are ultra sensitive about him

I would agree completely.

His form when he arrived was magnificent at a time most of our players were well off the pace, he created havoc and his form during that time is a huge part why we can win the title on Sunday.

Yes his form dipped but tell me a wide player that never happens to, even more so a lad of 21 in his first season in the PL.

The different treatment compared to Bobb happened for some obvious reasons: 1) Bobb is an academy graduate (and fans here love that more than anything). We hope and pray for academy graduates to become great. 2) Doku's presence and successes generally doubled as an obstacle to Grealish's position on the 11. So those who had a particular soft spot for Grealish made a point to point out every Doku error.

Finally, Doku did have some glaring problems that legitimately needed ironing out. His defensive work was pedestrian at best. and his decision-making was often average at best. That said, the skills that he possesses are neither teachable or replicable by anyone on the squad. So there.

 

[Worsleyweb]

He is a great lad and asset

 

[ufo]

Do do do kku ku
is all i want to say to you
do do do ku ku ku
his 1on 1 will get us thorough

 

[bobom]

He's brilliant. Obvs he's not the kind of player that will be suited to every game. But it's baffling to me how much people go on about his flaws.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Very pleased with Jezzas progress so far, he’s unplayable when he on top form and he’s only going to get better under Pep…

That spuds defender didn't know what fuckin day it was for the pen he won for us last night.. He’s got a serious turn of speed on him an all

 

[RayCTID]

A really handy player to have especially when there is space and overal he has settled in quick enough. Still not sure you bring him on to close the game when needing to keep possession or in tight games.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

He messed up their man to man system last night as they had to double up on him.

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Unplayable when he wants to be, Spurs couldn’t live him towards the end of the game. He needs to work on how he gets past being an impact player and him knitting together what he does for a full 90 minutes, Pep will like that conundrum.

 

[pee dubya]

I really like Doku, but I have to be honest I was wanting Grealish to come on instead.

He was absolute class, made the right decisions and then killed the game for us.

Felt like a key moment for him personally as well.
