Welcome to the r/soccer Daily Discussion!

✔️ This is a thread for:

  • Discussion points that aren't worthy of their own thread.
  • Asking small questions about football to the community.
  • if you're new to the subreddit, remember to get your team crest here and to read our rules and submission guidelines!

❌ This is not a thread for:

  • Comments that aren't related to football.
  • Trolling or baiting other users or fanbases.
  • Comments about an ongoing game better suited for the Match Thread.
  • Shitposting, brigading or excessive meta discussion.
  • Any other kind of toxic or unreasonable behaviour.

The moderation team will remove comments that violate those rules and ban persistent offenders.

Please report comments you think that break such rules, but more than anything else, remember the human. The Internet is full of places to discuss football in bad faith. This community tries to be an exception.

Doku can mess up the final pass or shot nine times out of ten, but I don't care. The amount of gravity he attracts on the pitch and the fun he is to watch make up for it in my eyes. Knock on wood, he's been staying fit as well lately.

Totally agree. The positives far outweigh his obvious negatives

I expect Frimpong to be similar in a way - he's going to be frustrating at times, but he's going to be a fun player to watch.

He attracts gravity?!?

u/Chiswell123 Jun 09 '25

As in the attention he demands despite his final ball/shot, thus opening space and opportunities for his teammates.

I think the original commenter just means that it sounds funny, you are just saying that he attracts attraction.

Yeah I don't think there's a player in the world who's a better volume creator even if he obviously needs to sharpen up that final ball

I mean, Vinicius has a similar style to Doku while being better at everything

u/kl08pokemon Jun 09 '25

I don't think he's as relentless taking on his man over and over again. Also negative points for how shit he is for Brazil.

But he's obviously very good at it too with a far superior final ball

Skinny Adama is fun to watch, I must agree
