I thought he did well enough Saturday.
Yeah, I'm not getting this slagging off either. He did well several times, beating his man. Tested the keeper with a decent shot and played a few balls into the box when I was wondering why the fuck was nobody making runs to the near post. Second half Chelsea properly parked the bus and whenever doku received the ball he had 2 men on him with zero back up. Absolutely crying out for an overlap or two but nobody offered it. He either had to slow down play and bring it back inside like Jack does or take the two defenders on himself. Which he had the balls to do a few times and fair fucks to him for doing so. That's what we want from a winger no? Have a go and take your man on.
Late on when chasing a winner, again he was on the left with 2 or 3 Chelsea players standing him up. He either takes them on and potentially loses it to start a counter or he keeps possession and brings it back inside to Ake or somebody, hoping play rotates to open up elsewhere. Without the needed support to make his position effective, the chose the right option. I don't really understand what people are expecting of him.
