    Doku have me feeling like the food critique guy from ratatouille, remembering his childhood with Hazard

    10 dribbles per 90 must be because of the limited minutes he played, that’s a crazy number

      It is yeah, these tables without a minimum number of minutes played or just listing the amount of minutes are awful

      Great idea from our coach to rest Navas and play a youngster against Martinelli

    Pep really turned Grealish into a pass back merchant and then signed Doku and let him do what Grealish was actually good at 😭

      Grealish isn’t very good at 1v1 dribbles though. He doesn’t have the burst of pace or skills for that in small spaces. Only with lots of space on the counter but City play against parked busses all the time. For that you need a dribbler who is very high level in 1v1s in small spaces, and no one in the world is better at that than Doku. So Pep uses Grealish in that advanced wing position to keep the ball and attract multiple defenders to create space behind those players.

    Yamal is super impressive because he does it from the touchline without using much pace and while avoiding contact most of the time. He’ll be incredible once he gets more comfortable getting physical with defenders.

    I forget Doku is still 20 y.o. What a freakin signing for City. And it’s rare for new City players immediately click into team and fits the system in Year 1.
