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.
All the flair with none of the end product.
Doku finished the Bournemouth game with 1 goal and 4 assists.
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.
Lucky result for Liverpool. Incredible how Allison poor distribution didn’t cost us.
Unlucky depending on how you view that mistake influencing the match.
Hard to see Grealish playing ahead of Doku now, he’s improving with every game imo
12/15 successful dribbles by doku against liverpool 😯
0/12 times he did something successful with the ball afterwards though.
He’s absolutely terrifying 1:1 but his final ball leaves a lot to be desired
his crosses and cutbacks into the box were very dangerous, is teammates just couldnt capitalize.
City won on successful dribbles
Against TAA actually
We broke their winning streak though
Pretty dull match but fair result for both. Both teams played quite defensive instead of going for goals.
Happily take a draw poor game from most of our players so flat upfront today and an uncharacteristic poor performance from Ali
He always has a mare against city
Hmm I did not create any chaos today. Better randomly go shit on their manager. Just because.
In a way he created chaos…off the pitch
Reckon that happened unprovoked aye?
I’m hearing that he did it because pep was asking about the goal to Kostas last season on Liverpool’s 1-4 defeat. So Darwin was asking pep about the goal TAA scored - so funny if true.
City should’ve won that game…I honestly feel let down by them, even though I know that’s just football
Plastic fan
Has no one thought of the poor city fans being let down by a draw!?
People are so desperate for a narrative on the Doku Trent battle when in truth Trent was fine and Doku made a few nice twist and turns without much end product.
Bore off.
We are so wasteful its ridiculous. Shit performances all around and we got no subs. In January transfer window, we need someone that is at least one tailnaol worth of KDB.
City and no subs? Are you talking about the subreddit perhaps?
2/8 of the bench was goalkeepers??
Unironically hilarious
Why are 12 30 games a little less energetic? Just because it’s earlier people are a bit less awake?
Something to do with it generally but this was off the back of internationals so half of them will have played a lot of football, travelled for a full day and are jet lagged
Klopp said they had one session, can’t imagine City were any different.
For once the ref wasn’t the talking point of the game. How refreshing
Don’t speak too soon we’re about to play brentford again
I’m glad Haaland’s ankle healed in time for him to score against us and break another record.
His mechanic worked overtime.
and Ederson was also fit when he didnt even travel with Brazil
These close games showing how pivotal KDB is. Alvarez has been a ghost nearly every tough match this season & his SP delivery is awful compared to KDB. He’s got a great work rate, but creatively it’s very clearly he’s a forward in a midfielder’s position.
