Oscar Bobb | Back in first team training, again (p55)

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.
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.
fingers crossed.
 
Did anyone see how he and Reis played today?
I haven’t heard anything actually performance-based.
 
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'd honestly forgotten about Echeverri, has there been any update on him or is he still on holiday?

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.

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.

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.
