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.

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.

It was pragmatic from Klopp, and it paid off. I’ll take a draw at Etihad, but our team still has a long way to go.

It’s a great result, especially as City had much greater control of the game and more/better chances

We had a whole bunch of players who played all around the world for the last two weeks.

City… Didn’t.

A draw is a seriously great result and the performance wasn’t as bad as some are making out.

Of the available players, literally only Ederson ended up not playing a single international game I think. Not sure why Liverpool fans care so much about City players playing in international games

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.

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.

“Dangerous” is subjective, firing a ball into an already crowded box rarely results in a goal, even if it seems excitinf
