yeah weird that pep did not try to switch him and foden to get some luck

remind me that we forced Palmer to play left until the kid broke down

But Foden didn't, instead he managed to become the best LW in that season and that's why Phil plays for City and Palmer plays for Chelsea..

Bobb is young player, I get what Pep's doing with him..

When you are left footed, it's easy to play RW. get ball, cut inside, a lot of space to use. Nothing new and difficult, do what you were doing at academy, what was your natural position since like 6-7 years old. But there is little room for improvement, there is no challenge and therefore you can't improve player like that.

LW is different, small spaces, not that easy to cut inside, you have to overcome challenges and find out weaknesses you had, which you never thought about..
But if player manages to work a lot, train a lot, think a lot and eventually improve and deliver stable results, it means that he will be more useful as a RW later, cause he will have experience of difficult position and using small spaces..

Imagine if Pep played Foden his natural position from the beginning.. Would he be the same player he is now ? I don't think so. That hard life and Pep's exercises, made him stronger..

Cause City is the treble-winner team. This kind of team needs not only good players, but the best ones. The best ones are crafted by these kind of lessons.
 
More efficient than Docu and calmer but Docu will bring you something different in getting past players just needs to improve his crossing in to the box!

It’s Doku. Once is a fat finger or spellcheck mistake, but twice? ;-)
 
Just seen the highlight of the shot off the line, great bit of skill to get in that position.

Massive potential, did well last night

We have some right knobs in our fanbase giving him grief.
Didn’t do much other than that, though, did he?

“Massive potential” and “the business end of the season” don’t always go hand in hand.

You need to define "didn't do much"

Kept position well and gave us options, retained possession when trying to move Brentfords 10 behind the ball.

Was extremely unlucky not to score and didn't panic in the situation.

He did well.

Didn’t get any decent crosses in.
Had the one shot, which was good.

If not losing the ball by playing a wall pass is the new standard, then we’re fucked. Doku was brought on to penetrate. I’d have preferred Pep to let Bobb off the leash a little, rather than switching him for Doku.
