11 | Jeremy Doku - 2024/25

First half was good, timber coped reasonably well with him to be fair but he was still a big threat, saka was basically playing right back to double up on him. Did his defensive work well too.

Second half wasn't for him, they were camped in their own box so there was no space to dribble And create space. We needed balls in from wide which he didnt provide but given our approach to the game and a complete reluctance to do that from literally everybody, I'm guessing that wasn't in Peps instructions.

For some players City’s fans have to demand more and he is one of these players. Right now he is offering us nothing. City needs his contribution, the same with Grealish. We need more goals from different players than Haaland.

The players we have signed in the last 2 seasons don't have goals in them -Doku , Kovacic , Nunes , Grealish have never been great goal scorers .

Yet here we are with more silverware than a back street pawn shop.
Strange eh?

He's just not very good IMO. Barely beats his man and even when he does has zero end product. Find his lack of movement off the ball totally bizarre.

He got to the byline and tried to make something happen, don't understand why he was taken off

We had enough players on the pitcb wanting to recycle possession on the edge of the box

I think he maybe went for the byline once

Don’t think he did anything wrong today, we just refused to go down that left hand side. And when he did get on the ball he actually asked questions of the fullback.

The amount of times we refused to give him the ball quickly so he could go 1 v 1 against his fullback was staggering.

A tactic problem more than anything today.

The problem is signing carriers not finishers.

If we would have some offer for him in January and would be able to sign someone better in front of goal, just do it. In what particular think apart from dribbling is he better than Ferran Torres? Torres at least have scored some goals for us. Literally done of the lack of end product of some players. It looks that its mission impossible to score or make an assist for some group of our players. We used to have consistent wingers, now we have carriers with no end product and no threat.

Savinho has already shown what is expected from a winger at this level, and he's only played a handful of games.

Reality is, that I could probably name 3 or 4 players who play for mid-table sides that would get in their own sides before him, if it was a straight choice.

Some blues have got carried away because they've seen that we finally have a player that runs at defenders; those same people are now blinded by what a good performance looks like.

Jack has to start on the left, and Savinho on the right.

Weird that Pep keeps picking him but what does he know eh.
