Penalty all day long that. Doesn't get the ball, contact on the player. Shouldn't matter that Hojlund made the absolute most of it.
 
Anywhere else on the pitch it’s a free kick. They are just scared to give anything unless it’s a real hard foul.
I mean if it was Romero it would have been a pen. I agree that it’s a foul outside the box and I think the laws say that if it’s foul it’s pen, but I’d say it would be a slightly harsh penalty. Changed a 0.1 xg into a 0.7 xg. Could have no complaints if it was given though.
 
Is Jeremy Doku good?

it's so hard to tell

In terms of general play yes. He would be great for us because he can hold up the ball, run defenders and track back far better than Son, Johnson or Werner can which is something we lack. But his final ball is often weak. He would improve us quite a bit in terms of allowing us to control games better and not lose the ball high up the pitch so much but he would also drive everyone mad with his end product.
 
Just watch Doku there. Controlled a hard ball out of the air, held off two players then passed it. That is something in attack we don’t have minus Solanke who is a striker. Doku needs to fix his final ball to become a top player.
