Still gets balls into the box that Sess would never. Can go either way which is a nightmare for fullbacks.
He is number 1 but we will have to manage his minutes.

I'm a little concerned when we play teams with pacier wingers like Liverpool
Sess had Salah in his pocket last season. Can Perisic do the same?
I think it’s more about a partnership than a battle. Perisic is class and him and Sess can learn so much off him.
Those are primarily attacking clips. How'd he do defensively? Shut Salah down?
would have more assists if doc was the other wing back getting in the box too.
Great point - this seems to have been a key part of Conte’s tactics as a manager which makes it baffling why he’s picking that hunched, unBrazilian shuffler at RWB
its like he has a short memory, doc was on fire in our run in before he got injured. giving us goals and assists and being an absolute nightmare for teams down that right hand side with his box presence and overlaps of the wide forward. it is very strange.
To be fair he’s coming back from a serious injury so I can see why Royal started first PL game but been four weeks since then and he’s been average (which is as good as he gets). Whilst I agree with Dochertys upside, he’s still not the answer either
Nobody wants to see Doc in the team more than me but in the 12 games Royal has started since Doc got injured we are 7-4-1 with 6 clean sheets.
Draws Brentford, Liverpool, Chelsea, WHU.
Loss 1-0 Brighton.
You could see perisic was really frustrated when his last ball went right across the face of the goal and no one was there. Richarlison was the only one in the box and couldn’t be in 2 places at once.
We need Kane to actually get involved in the box. If city swapped, haaland for kane, they’d be way worse. Because they are actually using Haaland as a CF.
Kane is playing playmaker which is ok if there’s no one better but that leaves a gaping hole where the CF should be. Richarlison can do the job but he has to actually be on the pitch.

If City had Kane a) they'd not have needed to switch their play up from recent seasons, b) Kane wouldn't need to drop as deep as he often is and c) he'd scored more goal that he does now.
.......One must wonder; will City score more goals overall this season or will Haaland just get most of what they do score?

Lovely assist again, no suprise he is brilliant
He's one of the best crossers I have ever seen. Good delivery, but they way he digs them out from nowhere is actually pretty amazing.
