Needs to be starting really. Adds much needed pace and athleticism to the backline. Way too good for a championship bench 

Lots of lengthy injuries, needs to eased back for me.

 

Look after him, use this season to get him back to his peak.

Yeah, but he made a couple of atrocious passes to set up southampton chances; he got caught dreaming and then over-committed to allow che adams a huge chance, he was poor in the build up to the goal and did nothing to prevent the shot, just stood looking around him, not to mention had a miserable 66% pass completion.  And there were times in possession where he just had no idea where he was supposed to be.  

 

Yes he did some good stuff but there's nothing to suggest he's suddenly a superior choice to faes; and the logistics of him coming in for doyle means that we sacrifice having a left footed LCB.  He's basically a FB trying to transition into a CB and he's miles away from being a long term first choice unless there's a major injury to the actual first choice players.

 

I think you're all just deliberately ignoring his flaws; he's not mentally ready for a run in the first team.  Great to see him get some time and put in a relatively solid defensive performance, but he's still lacking confidence on the ball or a real understanding of the new role he's being asked to do.

Easy to see why though as he's been far from impressive. I understand what you're saying about his ability to play through the lines but he's looked very dodgy at times this season and I've still no idea what the fck he was doing for that goal tonight. He's still young and learning but he needs to cut out the mistakes, and rash challenges 

But equally you could argue that JJ failed to do anything to win the initial long ball from the keeper, he doesn't put any pressure on the southampton player.  can't put that goal entirely down to doyle, none of the other defenders react very well to his error.

I imagine most of us are giving him some leeway seeing as it was his first league start since November 22, still getting match fit, and still getting used to playing in this system

 

You like to pick that passing stat but like to ignore all the good stuff he did especially defensively.

 

Most successful tackles

Most duels won

Loads of blocks and clearances

0 fouls given away

 

You can say about him starting the cup games but they were completely different in that we were dominating possession heavily with there being zero pressing or pressure from the opposition - those games were much more like pre-season games when compared to what we faced against Southampton

 

You mention the Southampton goal but if he had gone across and left his man completely alone and they had squared it I expect you still would’ve moaned about that, the 2 other centre backs and especially Doyle were at fault for that goal, JJ did nothing wrong

 

Doyle has been rather poor in the past few games and it would make sense to drop him for a game or 2, in which case JJ would be the obvious choice to replace him, neither of Coady or Vestergaard could play that wide centre back role.

Personally thought he was a clear improvement on Doyle when he came on. I'm biased, as I've thought it all along. 

 

His defensive work and pace are far superior. The overlap is superior. Last 5 mins he was dominant in the triangles of possession to run down the clock. 

Doyle is still a development prospect. JJ is more experienced. It's been clear that Maresca rates him and it's clear JJ has put a lot of work in to be useful in this system. I agree that JJ looked much better and far pacier. But Doyle will improve significantly too.

 

The problem with JJ is well known. Not long back from another serious injury. It will be a concern if we are in the position that he has to be picked for every game. If JJ can find a way to ramain injury free he will be a beast at PL too.

Can see him staying in now and Doyle struggling to get his place back. 

I get that Doyle has had some sloppy moments but what I think a lot of posters (not just yourself to be fair) are criminally underestimating for Doyle are as follows -

 

1) Doyle is a left footed CB and for Enzo’s style of football that is a very important factor due to the next reason.

 

2) Doyle’s passing through the lines whilst has been sloppy has also been pretty impressive, how many of our other CB/FB’s pick out Kasey earlier on in the season.

 

Is Doyle good enough for Man City? Most likely not but could he be a very good squad player for us? 100%
