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
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.
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
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.
Why are so many people complaining about City players “faking” international duty injuries. I thought this sub collectively agreed that players are being played way too many games. Why tf do you care if they skip a friendly all of a sudden
this might be the worst argument I’ve seen since “if global warming is real, why is it snowing” , of course people would care that their opponents are skipping games days before playing them???
funny thing everyones like haaland could have helped his country qualify, cos of the playoff system he couldn’t affect shit in any way
Oh yay International break is finally over!
Oh right Premier League refs are back…
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.
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
Great watch as neutral/hater
All the Arsenal fans getting way too excited by this result. There’s a LONG way to go and if your living off other teams results this early then you’re going to be bags of nerves come the last 10 games
Lots of Liverpool fans getting too excited and already talking about the return match at Anfield too as if they’ll magically win because of how things played out today. Arsenal fans should be happy that the teams in front of them dropped points.
We are much better against City at home, I believe the one time they have beaten us at home in the league since Klopp has been here was without fans at stadiums
But it hasn’t stopped them from winning the league. My point is teams have to start taking the three points from them at the etihad if you’re gonna want to win the league.
You just drew eith your biggest title rivals and all you can think about is arsenal fans? Something something rent free
Alvarez was absolutely woeful all game. Complete luxury player who ended at least three City attacks
Matip has to be one of the most underrated PL defenders in the last 10 years
Matip is the closest I see to What Stones does for us. If he played for us he would’ve been insane next to Rodri in my eyes.
Yeah, I’m a big fan. A great defender and also I love the way he takes the game on with his runs down the middle.
Pep said to Nunez “you are going up”, because he knows - “Chaos is a laddah!”
“You are more beautiful than your mother ever was SansaH” 🤮 sorry just laughing because I quoted the same thing you did earlier today lmao
Hmm I did not create any chaos today. Better randomly go shit on their manager. Just because.
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.
In a way he created chaos…off the pitch
Reckon that happened unprovoked aye?
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!?
Hard to see Grealish playing ahead of Doku now, he’s improving with every game imo
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.
Unironically hilarious
City and no subs? Are you talking about the subreddit perhaps?
2/8 of the bench was goalkeepers??
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
