Not sure what game some people watched but Doku did fuck all. If sprinting into space and dribbling the ball out for a goal kick or smashing it into the first defender is a world class performance then wilfred zaha is the best winger in the world
Yeah, get the highest match rating of any player from Opta by doing “fuck all”.
Who gives a shit anout some made ip rating that over values dribbles. 70% of the time he got the ball he blasted it to the first defender or dribbled out the goal line for a goal kick lmao
He’s going to be a better player but the praise for this performance reminds me a lot of Adama Traore’s early Wolves days. He was absolutely unplayable and a menace every time he stepped on the pitch, and finished the season with 1 goal and 3 assists.
Doku finished the Bournemouth game with 1 goal and 4 assists.
All the flair with none of the end product.
The absolute disrespect on the Wilf
Still made me worry every time he got the ball. People are saying no end product but all it takes is one well delivered ball to the box and they’ve got enough people who can finish. Luckily he couldn’t manage that today
He did manage it a few times, City’s players just couldn’t put it in the back of the net (partly do to bad finishing and partly due to Liverpool players blocking shots).
There is a reason he got MOTM from Opta without having scored or assisted.
