Probably the only attacking player along with Marmoush who has shown some initiative and quality this year. A road runner in a team filled with static training cones. Unfortunately since our record signing has decided to retire from professional football, Doku's been the one to pick up that slack on the left.
It won’t make a blind bit of difference moving Doku on unless other areas of the team improves drastically, I don’t get this notion of just blaming the wingers when it’s the system of inverted wingers and slow movement from back to front that’s the big problem.I think that's a really generous appraisal. The reality is he's a £55m signing who's not materially improved in the last two years. He's had some great moments like the assist v Villa but all too often he displays a complete lack of end product. If the squad didn't need the surgery it did I'd be moving him on this summer. We need better to get back to the top.

Fair enough I see it differently to you, as an aside our opponents on Tuesday Bournemouth, when we thrashed em 18 months ago Doku had 4 assists and a goal in that game, so there’s definitely a good player in there.I'm not blaming him, I just don't think he's a very good footballer. He got the ball a lot yesterday and whilst he's great at beating his man he ultimately does very little after.

Im more than entitled to have an opinion and I don’t need a lecture on the well documented backgroundOMG just let it go.. we started with 100 mil, went to 150.. and Spurs would not even pick up the phone.
Instead they called Richard Masters 11500 times to get us charged with the 115.
Some clubs just hate us.. easier to make a deal with Rags and Dippers than them!
Very harsh. I’d like to see him have some freedom to attack from midfield. I think it was Newcastle at home in the cup last year when he played inside, ran at them and caused troubleSome blues still want to see another year of this non entity on the wing… crazy.
Still needs to improve that final ball. He doesn’t look up to where players are, it’s just a kick and hope into the penalty area.I'm not blaming him, I just don't think he's a very good footballer.

We need 5/6 better players than what we have in this squad. He wasn’t the problem yesterday though (Currently top of the man of match vote on here) and without his impact at Everton and against Villa, we would already be done.It's been 4 months since either of our wingers scored a goal in the league. That has to be a major problem when neither winger is making a regular contribution.
I'm still of the opinion we need an experienced winger.
You'll be saying the same thing in 5 years time regardless of whether he's at City or notStill needs to improve that final ball. He doesn’t look up to where players are, it’s just a kick and hope into the penalty area.
If he isn’t at City, I won’t;)You'll be saying the same thing in 5 years time regardless of whether he's at City or not
Get the strikers to actually attack the near post and the most advanced 8 to hit the 6 yard line (old school Gundo style) and him and savio would both get double figures of assists next year
