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.
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.
Cmon I think we can unite with arsenal fans in our enjoyment of city dropping points
You just drew eith your biggest title rivals and all you can think about is arsenal fans? Something something rent free
Hard to see Grealish playing ahead of Doku now, he’s improving with every game imo
12/15 successful dribbles by doku against liverpool 😯
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
Against TAA actually
City won on successful dribbles
City should’ve won that game…I honestly feel let down by them, even though I know that’s just football
Plastic fan
😊
Has no one thought of the poor city fans being let down by a draw!?
Matip has to be one of the most underrated PL defenders in the last 10 years
Yeah, I’m a big fan. A great defender and also I love the way he takes the game on with his runs down the middle.
Matip is the closest I see to What Stones does for us. If he played for us he would’ve been insane next to Rodri in my eyes.
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…!!!
We broke their winning streak though
A draw at the Etihad is always a good result
Unless you’re Man City
Doku is insanely good
Yeah, his control and dribbling is so good, once he gets the end pass/shooting in, what a dangerous player
Still very raw though. There were a couple occasions where he should’ve been at the end of the cross from the other flank and when he should’ve probably Released the pass earlier but all in all he’s indeed very good.
He wasn’t great today. Had that good run to the byline and drew that foul but other then was pretty silent all match. The best thing he did was offer enough of a threat to pin TAA back
Saw the fracas between Nunez and Pep. Was quite serious. What exactly sparked that? Did Pep say something derogatory to Darwin?
Why would you assume that? Just because?
“your wife’s in me dm’s”
Oh yay International break is finally over!
Oh right Premier League refs are back…
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
I’m glad Haaland’s ankle healed in time for him to score against us and break another record.
His mechanic worked overtime.
and Ederson was also fit when he didnt even travel with Brazil
