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.
Doku finished the Bournemouth game with 1 goal and 4 assists.
The absolute disrespect on the Wilf
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.
Oh yay International break is finally over!
Oh right Premier League refs are back…
A good result considering the early kick off post an international break.
Loved the fight from us… Some silly moments and few poor passes in final 3rd but this team is cooking…!!!
Lucky result for Liverpool. Incredible how Allison poor distribution didn’t cost us.
Unlucky depending on how you view that mistake influencing the match.
We are so wasteful its ridiculous. Shit performances all around and we got no subs. In January transfer window, we need someone that is at least one tailnaol worth of KDB.
City and no subs? Are you talking about the subreddit perhaps?
2/8 of the bench was goalkeepers??
Unironically hilarious
Happily take a draw poor game from most of our players so flat upfront today and an uncharacteristic poor performance from Ali
He always has a mare against city
A draw at the Etihad is always a good result
Unless you’re Man City
People are so desperate for a narrative on the Doku Trent battle when in truth Trent was fine and Doku made a few nice twist and turns without much end product.
Bore off.
Dribbled past 7 times and MotM is insane
It was the early start time, or it would have been only 6 times, lol.
Goals make difference not dribbles
How many goals does that count for?
Do you think Klopp asked Trent to try and stop Doku from dribbling past him? Or do you think they realised that wouldn’t be a great strategy, so accept you can’t stop him and let him dribble and force him into positions where he can’t produce a top scoring opportunity?
Just wondering what the top managerial minds of Reddit think about defensive tactics. Might be able to teach Klopp a thing or two.
I walk into that lpool side and win the quadruple every season pal
How many of those were showing Doku out wide tho
Why are so many people complaining about City players “faking” international duty injuries. I thought this sub collectively agreed that players are being played way too many games. Why tf do you care if they skip a friendly all of a sudden
funny thing everyones like haaland could have helped his country qualify, cos of the playoff system he couldn’t affect shit in any way
If he doesn’t wana play so be it… what the fuss
this might be the worst argument I’ve seen since “if global warming is real, why is it snowing” , of course people would care that their opponents are skipping games days before playing them???
Why are 12 30 games a little less energetic? Just because it’s earlier people are a bit less awake?
Something to do with it generally but this was off the back of internationals so half of them will have played a lot of football, travelled for a full day and are jet lagged
Klopp said they had one session, can’t imagine City were any different.
These close games showing how pivotal KDB is. Alvarez has been a ghost nearly every tough match this season & his SP delivery is awful compared to KDB. He’s got a great work rate, but creatively it’s very clearly he’s a forward in a midfielder’s position.
Great watch as neutral/hater
We broke their winning streak though
Hmm I did not create any chaos today. Better randomly go shit on their manager. Just because.
I’m hearing that he did it because pep was asking about the goal to Kostas last season on Liverpool’s 1-4 defeat. So Darwin was asking pep about the goal TAA scored - so funny if true.
In a way he created chaos…off the pitch
Reckon that happened unprovoked aye?
