Jezza was fantastic today, great goal to top it all off too.

Today is exactly the kind of game where I'd expect him to make an impact coming from the bench, and he did.Unsurprisingly, the thread is a bit quiet. Had he been shit, it would have been busy.
Fantastic goal. Should give him more confidence.
He's just simply not good enough to be relied upon to start a game every week.
At 22 can he not improve?Today is exactly the kind of game where I'd expect him to make an impact coming from the bench, and he did.

What a goal that was. After seeing many powderpuff efforts that trickle towards the net from him, where the fudge did that power come from? That's what we've sorely, sorely lacked from all our wingers since Mahrez departed, a genuine goal threat when they cut inside.
grealish carries zero threat, savinho hasn't shown any of that yet either, bernardo used to have a far post curler in his locker but hasnt shown that for a while. Doku gave it us today but that needs to become a regular thing, he has the ability to create room for a shot with ease and we've now seen he has the shot in him too so we need it more often.
Other than his goal he was great today, kept the ball very well, got us out of pressure and up the pitch numerous time and was actually a threat.

Yes but I'd rather judge him on what I'm seeing now, rather than some hypothetical assumption that he's going to improve as much as he needs to in order to become relied upon weekly.At 22 can he not improve?
The guy can't even manage two back to back performances at a very good level, he plays in snatches. That might be age, or it might be that he's just not very good.

Bullshit.

Which young wingers in Europe do you rate and are far superior to Doku at 22?
