When the league started adapting to inverted fullbacks and started getting their own inverted fullbacks, Pep brings back a pure winger who can put the hardiest of defenders on ice skates with his dribbling. Doku, in his element, is a treat to watch, albeit a bit predictable.
But frustrating as he has spent the last two years crushing Englands best dribbler. Grealish is no longer the exciting player to watch.
Englands best dribbler is grealish? i like his style with the shin guards and hair but are we saying grealish is better than sterling ? he cant even get on the bench for the england team at the euros
Can this false narrative stop lol? Grealish can only dribble with space, which is why he excelled at a low table team where they play on the counter. At City he’s always up against parked buses which has showed he’s not that great a dribbler. A player is a top class dribbler when they can do it in tight spaces and from standing still.
Where do you get this bullshit from? There are plenty of media sources that says one of Grealish’ best traits is dribbling in tight spaces, loads of videos showing him do it, etc. Grealish was/is a top class dribbler.
Except he got completely pocketed by James, who is probably the toughest fullback he has met so far.
He shook James mentally who had to give everything in his soul to stop Doku, which is why he had an absolute nightmare the game after and got himself sent off.
