Ahead of the big game between Manchester City and Liverpool, pundit Micah Richards shared his thoughts on Guardiola's wingers. Micah said he'd rather face Jeremy Doku on the field than Jack Grealish.
Richards explained that he finds Jeremy Doku easier to play against because players like Phil Foden and Jack Grealish can be pretty unpredictable on the field.
Richards said on Sky Sports: "Grealish takes you in places you don't want to go. You know what Doku's going to do... if you get to him with enough time, you can potentially stop him. I'd rather play against Doku."
Gary Neville, however, said the opposite thing: "There’s the element of saying the more predictable winger and that’s Grealish. Doku, you haven’t got a clue what he’s going to do."
Jamie Carragher added: "If Trent is isolated against Doku in those roles, there’s going to be big problems."
These were the words of pundits before the game, and perhaps after the game, Micah would change his opinion on Doku, as he beat Trent Alexander-Arnold at will throughout the game, completing an incredible 12 dribbles in total.
That's not all, Doku was the best player by lots of stats: 432m - Ball Carry Distance, 233m - Ball Carry Progress, 34 - Ball Carries, 29 - Final Third Passes, 19 - Touches in Opp Box, 18 - Progressive Carries ,16 - Dribbles Attempted, 12 - Dribbles Completed, 4 - Chances Created, 3 - Tackles Won and 0.74 - Expected Assists.
Even in his prime, Micah Richards would probably have lots of problems with Jeremy Doku on the football field. Considering his stats, this young man is now one of the best dribblers in the Premier League.
