11 | Jeremy Doku - 2024/25

[vmsuhail]

Isn't it normal for nowadays football fans? Jesus Raz and Grealish all got the same treatment on BM.

For good reason though. Jesus couldn't make that No.9 spot his own, Raz had 2 frustrating seasons when he should've been at his career best, Grealish so far has had a great half-season in his 3 full years here.

It's just ridiculous hyperbole.

If you say so

 

[johnny crossan]

So you actually believe Jack was the best player on the pitch today?

It's the way democracy works.

Doku is to Grealish as Savio is to Nunes (the forgotten man).

Grealish and (hopefully) Nunes will get their chances over the season and I think they'll do well. But neither will be similar to Doku and Savio in style.

And that's ok.

yeah, kinda of is tbf i was just in from the game. watching it back whole team was in 3rd gear, not sense of quick tempo or urgency once the job was done. He was on our side of the pitch first half and had loads of room to drive/run past into the space every time but had no need.

We play this fixture in a month or two and he roasts that fullback every time I expect.

He's such a unique player and very very difficult to defend against

Cannot give a better example of nowadays ungrateful and arrogant fans here.

He needs to be a bit better on the ball, he doesn't need to try and take on his man every single time. You can tell he also isn't able to at times and he still tries. Its ok to circulate possession or look for a killer through pass first.

He had 51 touches of the ball yesterday. He made 36 passes while completing 33 of them. Opta has him attempting five dribbles and completing 2 of them(poor for his standard). Your math isn't mathing.

 

[Phil1]

I like him, I like Savio and I like Grealish.
There must be something wrong with me because I’m sure you’ve got to slate at least one of them before praising another..

Needless overreaction. I gave the reasons for why there were criticisms for these players. The standards and expectations are high. It doesn't mean I don't value the contributions of Jesus/Sterling or Grealish in the Treble season. In fact, I was against the club selling Jesus. Sterling and Sane are still for me the benchmarks for any new winger the club buys.
