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.
Considering he had Mahrez who made a name for himself doing exactly that and adding a ton of end product to his game as well as sane. Not really that ground breaking tbh. There's not many teams that deploy inverted fullbacks in the league as well tbh.
