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.
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.
So you actually didn't watch him play but depend on "media sources"
