[@chi3812]

Nobbins thank you so much for this video. We can critisize Doku's mistakes, but need understand that Doku is a great player and will develop into an incredible player with time. As the season continues we will see it.

[@Nobbins]

He’s frustrating but his threat is unparalleled!

[@TurinTurambar-oc4nv]

Eso mismo decian de vinicius y fijate ahora..m

[@harrygregg9551]

Ok ya he just can't shoot or pass properly

[@GoulartGH]

sadly the issue that leads to Doku being perceived as he is is that his contributions are harder to spot than his mistakes are - the casual fan won't notice his interplay with KDB, how he opens up spaces etc. but anyone can spot a misplaced pass or missed shot. love Doku, thanks for the analysis

[@Itsjustpinchy]

The production quality from Mr Nobbins is 🔥 these days.

Keep these analyses coming. I'll watch all

[@Nobbins]

Shall try!

[@Siithabiso]

Two geniuses here, Pep and. Nobbinho. These tactical breakdowns are always a great watch. A minority of people ran a narrative yesterday about Jeremy not being good enough. Yes, the final product still not there but saying he's not Citeh level is mental health.

[@haaland_gigachad]

We need such kind of analysis after every game.

[@Nobbins]

Will try! Ipswich game won’t be possible probably as going to a wedding the same day!

[@PepTheGOAT-nl7em]

I remember Doku scoring a goal and 3 or 4 assists in 1 game last season. As raw as he is, that is an indication of what he might be capable of achieving when he gets his game sorted. We still have the safety first options in Grealish and Silva for games where we need more control but considering that the Arsenal game is coming up soon, we need our flying wingers to be in top form. Having Doku and Savio out wide means that Arsenal cannot have Gabriel and Saliba playing in close proximity to one another like they did last season. They will have to split to help the fullbacks.

[@fizzyshah2149]

First, I already know this video will be a banger ! Defo one of the best city KZbinrs out there!!!

[@jem2886]

Pep literally described kdb as dynamic today just because he played a bit deeper doesn’t mean his days in the pocket are over it’s been 1 game I genuinely haven’t seen kdb slow down he just looks a bit more tired quicker

[@Nobbins]

Thank you my man

[@Reder45]

👏 spot on

[@archaicrapture]

Doku always has a great & overwhelming game at the same time 😂 I do agree that the end product does let him down. I believe he can sort that out - just shooting & passing. He played well in Rennes & does so with Belgium. He's not playing with Lukaku, who's gonna waste chance - it's Haaland. The only thing between him & being the best winger in the Euro is his end product. Progressive carries & threats, he's leagues above everyone else. Pep believes in 🤷🏿‍♂️ I do, too.

[@thetrain47539]

This is blatantly delusional, jesus fuck. Ping a ball into Doku at 50mph and see him turn on the ball perfectly controlled and dribble on, put a perfect cross in and get an assist. He simply can't. And you're comparing him to Yamal? Braindeath.

[@MrRobot_X_X]

As a city fan, your content is exactly the kind of thing I have been looking for!

[@sebastienrazee3224]

I'm a big fan of Doku and I feel like you really just need to give him the time, you could see just at the beginning of the game that he was trying types of crosses and passes that are unfamiliar to him, he also seemed to hold back a lot of the time, having watched him play for a little while, especially for the national team, he could just run at people so much more, but I think to fit the system he was trying to do a lot more of positional play if he manages refine his crosses and passes, master the new ones he's trying, as well as his cut-in shot, make his off the ball movement even more instinctive, he could be an absolute monster that's a lot of ifs, but he is one of my favorite players so I really hope (cope perhaps) he will

[@Nobbins]

Agreed!

[@sebastienrazee3224]

btw to reinforce that he holds back on his dribbling, right before he went through the three chelsea players, you could hear pep shouting "GO JEREMY GO" kinda like - stop holding back, release the beast god I am too corny

[@Louback33]

I was watching alot of the postgame interviews with Pep, and I'm pretty sure he said the players decided on the field to switch Doku and Savinho. That really surprised me, especially with the general narrative being how controlling Pep is. Maybe he made it a point to allow them the ability to make that decision? I dunno, but very interesting

[@JobHans]

I maybe got a bit too far in thinking but I believe that he might got the idea from Ancelotti with the likes of Rodrigo and Vini changing positions or even from several seasons ago with sane and Sterling

[@natasha3750]

True, heard Pep mention that bit. It’s quite interesting for players who have not played together or have a language barrier to pull off the switch first base. It could’ve been disastrous but it goes to show the level of intelligence and maybe a natural chemistry developed there. This season could be beautiful to watch

[@Don-Royall]

​@@JobHansThis is lies, Pep has always allowed his wingers to switch, remember Sterling and Sane. Pep allows those who can switch do, even Bernardo is allowed to. It is only Mahrez he forced to stay at RW.

[@JobHans]

@@Don-Royall 👍 keywords: "I believe"

[@archaicrapture]

​@JobHans Due to variation. Both of them can play both wings. It depends on the purpose. Doku mainly played RW in Rennes & Belgium (free roam). Also, when KDB is on the field, he can dictate the game play. According to Pep, KDB doesn't take **** from anyone. I believe you can see it 2 seasons ago against Arsenal.

[@jereflechis4014]

Fantastic analysis. But keep in minds that Grealish, Foden and Walker wasn’t fully available for the game, Pep was forced to play with Doku and Savinho. Right now we can’t be 100% sure that this new setup is the 2024/2025 man city setup + Gundogan might come back to city

[@Nobbins]

I don’t think it will be as I mention I think this is a specific use case

[@archaicrapture]

Forced? Grealish hasn't been playing for a while with Doku available. Foden is getting rested. Walker for who? Rico had a better game. Walker has been a liability in defence for a while.

[@danijelhrup9715]

Kovacic ain't Fernandiho... No Kovacich is twice the player Fernandinho ever was!!! Kovacic played great in every club he came to Dinamo Zagreb, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Man City and for Croatia team ( where he will now become Captain )... In Dinamo he was POTY, in Inter he was named best singing and he was given no 10, Real Madrid he was first sub for Modric, Kroos and Casemiro, Real wanted and begged Kovacic to stay, as Zidane said: Kovacic and Bale are the biggest reason why Real won La Liga in season 2017/2018, cuz club wanted to win CL ( year by year ) and they did, but players were exosted from all the games, so Kovacic stepped on gas along side Bale and play his ass off, so they could win La Liga!!! Then he came to Chelsea we're he became the Chelsea POTY and won CL and ECL year by year, Tuchel said: that he never trained better player/ mid in his life!!! Then He came to Man City when the club already won CL and many players were gone, well he stepped in and kept on playing, I'm tellin you, he will become the best player in Man City!!!

[@gogoagents3601]

KDB was not LW was making side blind movement.

[@michealsamaan9153]

I think that the way doku performed and messed with Chelsea's defence with his dribbling can make one ingnore some of his mistakes I feel no football player is required to be perfect the whole game like come on if it's any other player he would've been praised the whole season

[@fimmyk]

Everyone is trying to be a copy of Pep nowadays, the impressive thing about Pep is that when he notices people starting to catch on, he evolves and managers always have to play catch up. The only managers to beat Pep are those with a completely different philosophy.

[@audialiastt2601]

LNOBBINS. Imo Saviniho is a special player, especially for one sooooooooo young. His movement balance & rhythm with the ball reminds me of Mahrez and Robiniho. Smooth silky intelligent and quick, with great technique and skill in 1 V 1 situations. What really buzzed my mind, was his TRACKING BACK out of possession. Has wirery strength and determination. I'm hoping his early years are not dogged by injury. I fear, there already is a sent of history. Pep said post match, He (Saviniho) knows what it is. Has he tweeted his knee b4🤔🤔 Can see him away until after the International break.

[@abhinay4200]

Doku was horrendous

[@Nobbins]

Incorrect

[@znhait]

I'm convinced City fans haven't seen players with Doku's profile. His weaknesses will not magically disappear. A 22-year-old that can't shoot, make simple passes, or just hopelessly crosses into the box isn't going to become a world beater. He just doesn't know how to do the fundamentals of football. In a way, he's like the opposite of someone like Mahrez. Riyad has the fundamentals of football--passing, shooting, crossing, ball control--but he is never going to be a physical specimen, which stops him from being best player in the world quality. In Doku's case, his physical ability and dribbling will not be enough to make him anything but a mediocre player.

[@Topstrika-b4h]

Bro write this long to talk crap

[@thetrain47539]

Doku's dribbling is also shit. I'm so tired of people trying to defend him. You've ought to actually be stupid if you think a player who loses the ball 10 times before making a single successful action is anywhere near good. By 22 a world class player should be playing like world class already. How difficult is it to understand that? Was Foden struggling to complete simple passes when he was 22? Nah, he wasn't. City fans need to stop dickriding all their players just to be the most positive and supportive out there.

[@znhait]

@@thetrain47539 I wouldn't dismiss his dribbling. He actually gets into enough good positions, where if he could do the basics of football, he'd be a competent player. But when he does find himself in promising situations, like the 2 v. 1 with Haaland, or when he's one on one with keeper after getting through 2 or 3 defenders, he simply doesn't have the ability to execute the final action. And I keep reading, "once he learns to pass, shoot, make good decisions, etc., he'll be a world beater." They're failing to realize that those skills he doesn't have, he isn't going to develop them.

[@thetrain47539]
