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.
Except he got completely pocketed by James, who is probably the toughest fullback he has met so far.
Tbf it's not much of a criticism to get pocketed by James. The guy's done the same to Sterling, Vini and Leao in big games in recent seasons.
