Actually see where your coming from here mate and fair point, and while that statement is bang on, that's also doucoures issue, technically not good enough, could run a marathon but no genuine guile, aggression or snide, think we need one or two "win at all costs" type players to come in.
Eg I hate the guy but liverpools Robertson epitomises the character of player we need, a good but limited player, makes up for any shortfalls he has in attitude and application on the pitch.
Doucore just isn't that determined simple as. As bad as our back 4 has been this year part of the problem stems from midfield. Was clear as ever today that Barkley was the last player we had that was comfy receiving the ball under pressure, he could shield the ball, turn, pick a pass, occasionally beat a man, currently, unless our players are running into space on the counter we are frail and weak in possession, no individual confidence.
Ultimately, what I'm saying is we need a bisouma type player instead of doucoure, he's just too error prone and passive, imo he shouldn't be an auto starter for us next year, im balanced, hes been great for us at times, ill never slag him, but, there should be genuine competition for his place next season
