11 | Jeremy Doku - 2024/25

Two matches in a row where he didn't get a single minute. Rightfully so after that Everton match where he was anonymous, as were many in the season so far from him. Savinho managed to establish better connection with Haaland in two games than Doku did in two seasons and has rightfully overtaken him in the pecking order.

Whatever Doku's issue is, he can't escape the fact that he hasn't improved at all in a year, and in fact likely regressed in terms of speed and creativity. He needs to get his head out of his ass and realize that if he continues to approach the game the way he is currently doing, he will be out of Manchester very soon.

Hes young so time is on his side. He does need to improve though. His final ‘action’ is below standard.

I hope is ego isnt too high up there.

He must clearly be told he needs to look up more to see where people are in the box but very often he doesnt, and he puts aimless balls into the box.

He clearly has all the skills and ability to be a world class winger, but he needs to fix how he approaches the final action.

I think his first though is more about how to score rather than how to create, and that doesnt work for us.

If he is too hung up on it perhaps Pep can mold him to play more behind the striker, but that will take some time and work for that as well.
