Is he better than Antony?

Well I posted this thread a year before ETH was our manager.
Not everything is his fault.
What’s our scouting network doing?
Klopp does the same thing in terms of coaching, and De Zerbi to, i would say over limited viewing.
Scouting. Not their fault that their reports go in garbage bin.
You know that last scene from Indiana Jones when lost ark is stored in huge warehouse? That is what we do with scouts reports.
Tough one.
Nah. He's two years younger, so I'm sure he can catch up.
He was amazing at the World Cup when he was only like 18. I really wanted him at United
He’s a joy to watch and an amazing signing for City.
Shits all over Antony and Sancho who cost a lot more.

Yep. This guy can play. An astute signing. A level above Grealish, brings another dimension to that team. Haaland and Doku could play as a two and damage most defences.
Must be a dream for Rodri, Bernardo Silva etc.

I'm better than Antony and I'm 45 with a bad knee.
Obvious sarcasm is obvious. Your sarcasm detectors need tuning mate.
No fine tuning is needed. He suspected it was a joke, the detectors are fine.
His great grandmother is better than Antony.
that’s the difference
Guardiola makes him look better than he is
How so?
Yeah and we got Antony for 30m more.... Read this and be ready to throw up, how has he already got the same number of assists as Antony and he's played 1 less season..
Because a lot of people say players look better than they actually are in Guardiola's system.
It was so obvious you don't even need to suspect it. He has more assists in 1 game than Antony had in his whole time with us.
File under the circularity of
Messi only looks good because of Xaviesta
Xaviesta only looks good because of the system
Guardiola only looks good because he got handed Xaviesta and Messi and a a system
The system is owner less
How's our Scouts missing this kind of players? No words here.
Loved his assist for Akanji.
Saw a stat today that he has 7 assists this season and Rashford has 7 assists in the last 3 seasons. We desperately need creators outwide. Mainoo and Amad, come save our season please.

When was the last time we actually bought true electric wide man last one was Di Maria I believe how long it has been .
He seems a bit one dimensional. City put in 47 crosses today, pretty sure he was responsible for 90% of them.
7 of them. I think he’s a good player and not predictable, Gusto just had a great game.
He put in about 10 but Haaland should have buried at least one. I agree he's been sound out a little, if someone can match his acceleration over the first 10 yards he struggles.
Top player.
Would instantly improve us.

He's alright. I'm not overly impressed. Like a worse version of prime Sterling.
He's not that good is he?
He wouldn't, he'd drive us all bonkers.
Not as good as a Martinelli or a Diaz imo.
Genuinely don't see it with him, one dimensional and lacks the decision making and awareness in the final third to be a really top player.
Works well for a team stacked with talent so he's not entirely relied upon. Not sure if he's anything amazing.
Not particularly. But nobody genuinely watches City enough to care (he hasn’t scored or assisted since that Bournemouth game in November), so you’ll have to wait until City win another game 7-0 in the next few weeks where Doku does something, and the thread will get bumped again.
The way City played yesterday seemed devised to isolate Doku in 1v1 situations, and he did absolutely nothing. I think it is also a credit to how good Gusto was, but still he doesn't impress me that much.
Who matches his acceleration though?
A slower adama traore
At least he’s direct, until Antony the circle.
Watching him yesterday felt he slowed down the attack with all his unnecessary stopovers and waiting on the ball. Let city defense get back in shape before trying to run close to the corner line
