Rival clubs are even surprised that where on earth did man city get doku so direct no sign of fear fans want to see him in the field always so entertaining to watch
Its tough to appreciate Jack's contribution through compilations and montages. He has cemented himself as a very crucial player in Pep's team. In fact, last season, when City had 9 games in April(which is crazy enough), Jack was the only player in the club to start all of them. This shows how much Pep needs him and trusts him. He did have a lot of options to play, all of Phil, Palmer, Mahrez, and Bernardo were available so you know that he specifically wanted him. Doku, on the other hand is a naturally gifted player. His, speed, acceleration, unpredictability and wit will be something Pep can capitalise a lot on. Nonetheless, he was brought to replace Mahrez, Jack vs Doku isn't meant to be a thing. Sure, he will help out when needed to, but he is meant to be a Sterling/Sane 2016-2018 kinda player. Stronger foot out the outer side meaning a better crossing chance which is all you need when you have Haaland. Pep doesn't want to have to play Bernardo is a specific position(RW), he wants to play him wherever he believes will suit him for that specific match. That's his primary attribute. A common thing the between the two, however, is that both don't amass a ton G/A. 15 means a great season. Foden can occasionally help out on both roles as well.
Both are great players not worth comparing as they approach the game differently and play different roles if you look at it closely. However, Doku is a naturally gifted player. His, speed, acceleration, unpredictability, dribbles, and wit are something else. He is just one second slow in releasing the ball at times. I would love to see them play in the same line up and see how they will punish the opposition.
Jack Grealish has proven his worth because he can also defend well. There is a lot of instances whereby the Man City defenders were caught pants off by opponent strikers but Jack transitioned from attack with great pace to recover lost possession. Moreover, Jack is more offensive on the line and he doesn't lose the ball. Doku is a good, quick player who can dribble so fast but he has to learn a thing or two from Jack.
i think jack grealish should be converted into a CAM or a CM because the way you explained it it seems like hes got the qualities of a midfielder. maybe he could be like the English bernado silva. a short 4 lunged pressing machine with the dribbling power of messi.
You are comparing a player in his prime , Grealish (28 yr. ) , to a 21 year old . Where was Grealish at the age of 21 ? Doku has to learn , and he will. And it’s not that Doku doesn’t do any defensive work. He does . Just needs to be more consistent and learn never to loose the ball. No matter how u look at it , Doku started much better at city than Grealish did .
@@wengelder9256 this is facts if doco improves his shooting and passing he will be one of the best in the world. dont forget that kdb,silva and rodri will like him way more because he van actauully run behind defenders
Jack Grealish had a great season last season and he was contributing a lot defensively I loved the way he wad performing last season I wasn't enjoying the match whenever he's not playing
Grealish will go to the ground every second but Doku will destroy you and move pass you even when u trying to foul him plus he really strong he is going to be a beast under Pep
Jack and Doku hardly lose the ball, as a Liverpool fan I also love to watch the top 4 matches. Jack is more of a player who can create space, he holds the ball while other players get into position, he is really good at that but Doku on the other hand goes forward, will go into a brick wall and come out on the other side with the ball and I hardly seen him lose the ball too, he is more explosive in my opinion. Depends on each game or minutes. More of a seasoned player and a rising star who loves to push the limits. Love them both.
Doku is fast but looses the ball easily to opponents but Jack is good on that he maintains the ball position and temple leaving no chance for opponents
If we meet a more attacking team Grealish because he has that defending ability and he is also yo control ball to release pressure but Doku comes in when the team City is playing against is more relaxed at the back and very defensive.we need someone with more dribbling abilities and can penetrate the defense
Jack Grealish doesnt lose ball, helps the team defensively. But Doku is unpredictable at attack. Hes very skillful, creative. Imo, doku should start. Grealish can come after 60 min when the team needs to be solid defensively after taking the leads. They both can start as well since Foden. Bernardo will not play every match. They both are important players.
You don't compare players in the same team,doku is explosive but don't forget Grealish played a huge role last season to help city win the treble,pep needs a formation that they can both play as well as Alvareź
No, he didn't. He played crap up to the World Cup. Was OKish afterwards in the Premier League but did nothing in the Champions League. Then, he acted like he had won both trophies on his own.
@@oiooi6460That’s not true. He played crap before the World Cup, but afterwards he played really well. You clearly didn’t actually watch him play or just didn’t understand his importance, if Grealish was OK, Pep wouldn’t start him every match. You either only watch football from RU-vid Shorts or you just didn’t understand his importance, Grealish played really after the World Cup and even Theirry Henry said so.
@@oiooi6460 Others were playing average? How did they win the bloody treble playing average? If he was so bad, why would Pep start him in so many matches.
Jack has achieved, he has proven. Doku is yet to learn and achieve, we cannot compare achievement and ambition. These two play the same position differently, in a unique way with different strengths and weaknesses. For a Pep team, Jack can't be benched, although Doku is an exciting prospect.
@@Topstrika-b4hjack don’t score but he does a lot you don’t see… For instance jack keeps our possessions and allow players to make good decisions and he helps in the defense also…jack won my heart last season ❤#iloveujack

That's like comparing apple's with orangés. Doku's speed combined with his dribble skills is outstanding and a nightmare to défend. Jack can also défend and is more tactical experienced in attacking. However as a fan, you want to watch Doku, dribbling into the box. Doku is only 21 years old and no doubt he's very skilled. He's going to improve. Amazing singing.
We should be sincere with our self doku bring in another quality in this strong Man City side as fans have already fell in love with the way he plays doku is so direct a proper winger grealish is not a natural winger people find it difficult to believe doku is still 21 grealish style of play is getting boring to man city fans just his first season he did more than what the best coach in the world expected i think grelish needs to be placed in another position
Jeremy Doku should start he has pace,good dribbling, good agility and very good passing he needs to improve on his finishing but the future is looking bright
Funny that Grealish has had to change his game profoundly to get a regular start in this team, but now finds himself under threat from a player who plays off the cuff and aggressively - which is exactly how he was at Villa....
You’re joking right no one plays in a wider position than Jack. He hugs the touchline and then drifts in doku doesn’t start too wide and goes inside much earlier You see it in this video that doku is closer to the middle of the pitch
@@mr_mattsz grealish has been injured for a month so yes in that month doku played better because grealish wasn’t playing How is it clear that doku is better Just because you prefer dokus play style doesn’t mean grealishs play style is invalid when he gets the most fouls, creates the most chances and gets dispossessed a lot less than doku If you actually took a second of your time to do your research you’d find out doku loses the ball a lot which is bad for Man City’s system whereas grealish has some of the best ball retention stats in the world and I’m sure doku will get better at keeping the ball but he’ll never be on grealishs level when it comes to the things that made Man City spend 100 mil on grealish. Without grealish city wouldn’t have won the champions league
@@Alphoric Sure Grealish came back from injury and I never said his playstyle is invalid but even other ppl been sayin that his dribble are pretty much predictable now and im not the only one who prefers Doku over Grealish cuz Pep does too
explosive players don't last very long... one or two serious hamstring injuries and the edge can be lost... better use Doku to kill off a tired opponent ... Jack is a stylsit who makes little mistakes... both will have a massive role to play!
Doku plays usually well left or right . With De bruyne missing , Silva missing , Doku could easily start on the right hand side . Then put Kovacic in Rodri’s position , Alvarez , Nunez . Once Silva is back , Doku will get sufficient , though less playing time
Jeremy is just a beast, you are sure of a win with him, and plenty of goals. He scores so many goals to. Jack is well composed but not as hungry as Doku, Doku creates more chances for goals.
Is safe to say that Man City will have the possession on all matches. So against teams that have powerful counterattacks you need to make opposition striker defend so when they have the ball the goal is like 70 meters away. For that scenario I would chose Grealish all day. He is very serious with the ball, he doesn't lose it, and it's true that he doesn't dribble forward, but defenders respect him enough to back pedal till the area when he's on the ball. That way you lock the counters. and you still have a creative player and hardworking player on defense. Basically against big team, I would go with Grealish. Against all others, I would choose Doku since you don't really need to be scare of the counters and he has the explosiveness to cut on defenses that are reaaally close to the keeper.
I will prefer doku ....city win treble but I think the most influential player was rodri...he absolutely amazing player...grealish just benefits from world class players around him....I will prefer doku because not just his dribbling but his final third is really good...dont forget he can also make killer pass...so doku for me
If like to see JG going further, like really going beyond what hes doing now and not just fulfill his potential but be really hungry to the improve aswell...as of now he doesn't do that for me. He doesn't give the vibe of really wanting to push himself. It's probably his personality but in Peps sides that won't last long ( you either adapt/grow or leave )
If Doku can Improve his understanding on his teams style of play, he will be the perfect weapon. Because right now he is surviving on Individual performances and do things his way. However, he is 21 and has time to Improve. But for now Grealish is better.
In my opinion, I dont think there needs to be Jack vs Doku, They both have important skill set that makes them special. Doku is fast,strong,explosive and agressive, whereas Jack is Technically brilliant and intelligent, he knows how to draw fouls from important areas of the pitch. I like the way pep thinks, because the two differnt players fit two completely different systems that they can excel in. One system is tactically oriented wheras the other is far more agressive and fast paced. Two differnt players for two differnt systems
Grealish start and Doku finishes. Doku to be brought in the 60' minute. If he starts, he easily get tired. So better he finishes since he has pace. Grealish has poor finishing. He dalays the ball too bad and he kills team performance when we want to attack coz he always play going backwards.
IMO, I don't see Grealish as winger. He sometimes dulls things on the flanks. He's more suited to the no. 10 role with his vision and ball retention which are his greatest assets; I think he would be lit playing no. 10. Doku is a defender's nightmare on the flanks with his direct dribbling, menacing runs and strength. He's what you need in a winger.
I’m a biggest city fan but Doku main position is RW , pep just plays him on LW because he can play it but not like his main position RW , so I prefer jack Grealish for start now… doku is just a new player, at city so I can’t choose him over Grealish, Grealish is very important , we’ve lost matches sometimes without playing him
Jack Grealish seems to be going backwards at City after showing some really good form in recent years ..... Doku looks like an exciting prospect, and is already winning plenty of fans over, and not only City fans either ...... one thing is for sure if Jack grealish delivers many more NON performances, like he did at Newcastle, then there will be only only ONE winner of this debate ... and it WON'T be him!
A few weeks back i slated Jack Grealish for recent form, but I'm back again to say that he was absolutely outstanding in the win at Old Trafford last week, my man of the match, and we had a few! So fair play to the guy, that was the kind of performance that we want from him. Him and Doku are two different types of players though , and two really good ones too, so I can't really choose between them .... they both have their own qualities.
