Jeremy Doku (Manchester City)
November 2025
City overran Liverpool 3–0, with Doku tormenting the right flank and capping a player-of-the-match showing with a long-range strike. Guardiola praised across the board on his 1,000th game; Slot conceded faults but resisted calling Liverpool’s wobble an outright crisis. Doku’s 1v1 separation and inside-out carries stretched Liverpool’s rest defence, while City’s full-backs controlled width and transitions. Slot pointed to execution lapses and game-state swings, arguing process remains recoverable despite recent losses and table slippage behind Arsenal and City.
