Dokus incredible at beating his man and he gets in great positions but when he gets there he needs to slow it down in his head. Everything is rushed and panicked. If he figures that out then his numbers will be insane.Agree re Doku. He has bags of talent. If he kicked on he could end up as good as Dipper Salah. Equally, he could drop into obscurity. Who knows?
I do know, this season he just hasn’t produced. We can’t carry players like this and we have 3 wingers who do not do enough.
I'm doubting they willvs Leicester imo he needs to be involved and Echeverri too.
In the EDS he moved infield from the wing and looked transformed, he just ran the show. I would argue against him not having any pace mind.He is very similar to David Silva.
David also started out as a winger but gradually moved centrally over time.
I think Bobb will likely play in the middle for us in time.
I'd honestly forgotten about Echeverri, has there been any update on him or is he still on holiday?I saw Bobb's return as a key moment in the season. I don't any more because City's side is becoming completely dysfunctional. It would be very difficult for Pep to introduce Echeverri or Bobb into this side. And if you introduce Bobb it would be at the expense of Savinho.
We've been drifting for a while but there is a crisis unfolding before us.
I haven't watched Pep's post Brighton press conference but I don't think there have been many reports on Echeverri because he isn't on the media's radar. I have seen him in the training pictures and someone said he played in a behind the scenes friendly game.I'd honestly forgotten about Echeverri, has there been any update on him or is he still on holiday?
This is a coaching issue. Sterling was the same but they calmed him down for that one great season where he scored loads of goals. Sadly he reverted to type later on. If we can slow Doku’s thinking down he will be fantastic. He needs to lift his head and pick out a player.Dokus incredible at beating his man and he gets in great positions but when he gets there he needs to slow it down in his head.

fingers crossed.

He’s not really hereI'd honestly forgotten about Echeverri, has there been any update on him or is he still on holiday?
Yeah, i noticed in pre season and in the charity shield he’s much quicker than i thought he was.In the EDS he moved infield from the wing and looked transformed, he just ran the show. I would argue against him not having any pace mind.
Talent as in he can never learn to pick his head up and play the right pass? In terms of natural talent he’s got the type very few players have. The part he’s lacking should be the easier thing! You can teach composure and getting into better positions ( look at Sterling). What can’t be coached is the talent to skin defenders with ease.It's a talent issue and nothing more. If we signed a player from the Championship tomorrow from say Luton and he got 3 goals all season, it wouldn't be because of a talent issue, it would be because he isn't good enough to play for Manchester City. Look at Højlund at United - no amount of coaching is going to turn him into Haaland in terms of goal scoring numbers.
Sterling also had several consistently excellent seasons for us and the likes of Sane, Bernardo, Foden & Mahrez have all excelled when playing out wide for City under Pep at some time or other. Picking out the coaching in an area we're mostly been so strong over the years doesn't quite cover it.
How did Echeverri do?He played as did our new striker. Bobb looked well off the pace as you can imagine after all the time out. Hope that helps
Doku is 22. He's in his 2nd season in the Premier League. I remember watching Salah playing for FC Basle and he was brilliant and appalling in the same game. What was de Bruyne like at 22? I have no idea.It's a talent issue and nothing more.

He was not called up. They have WCQ in 22 and 25 Mar.Does Norway have any international games this coming weekend and has he been called up yet?
Attacking midfield was his main position as a youth team player.In the EDS he moved infield from the wing and looked transformed, he just ran the show. I would argue against him not having any pace mind.
More of a "called up and comes back injured" post marvin :)He was not called up. They have WCQ in 22 and 25 Mar.
