Manager Pep Guardiola believes it is a good sign if his Manchester City players are \u2018angry\u2019 at being left out of the starting line-up.<\/p>\n
Jeremy Doku scored and provided four assists in the 6-1 win against Bournemouth on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The winger was on the bench for last week\u2019s win at Manchester United, with Jack Grealish preferred, but roles were reversed when the Cherries visited.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want Jack [Grealish] angry and I want him to play good,\u201d Guardiola said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then Doku \u2013 be angry that he hasn\u2019t played the last two games. This is the way to maintain the consistency at that level.\u201d<\/p>\n
With City moving to the top of the Premier League with Saturday\u2019s win, Belgium international Doku, a \u00a355.4m summer signing from Rennes, has settled quickly \u2013 scoring three goals across all competitions.<\/p>\n
Doku, 21, is battling with England\u2019s Grealish, who was an unused substitute at the weekend and is yet to score in the league this season, for a regular starting role in City\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n
Guardiola said: \u201cAs much as Jeremy and Jack perform, and I can play both at the same time, but when they don\u2019t, train better the next day because the moment is coming, and when you are mentally there in the head you will perform well.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe way he [Grealish] played at Old Trafford, to give us more composure and more powers in that position, it was decisive for us.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need everyone. There are a lot of games and everyone has to compete.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen we will win games and you will be happy and everyone will be happy. This is what we have to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
City host Swiss champions Young Boys in the Champions League today.<\/p>\n
