2020/21 Abdoulaye Doucouré

[dannyboy]

He just doesn't really give you anything but athleticism. Which is fine when you've got everyone else in the team doing everything but when Allan is out or James is out it isn't really enough.

He's had his best spell lately but it's still difficult to see what his actual role is. For a centre mid you want him to be much more involved than he seems to be. Never dominates a game.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Didn’t stamp his authority on the game. Very much a confidence player .

DM or bust for him...he can rush in once in a while when we're around the box but he's missing too much to be anything other than a sitting DM at the moment.

Ask Watford about how Doucoure at DM goes.

The lad is probably the best box to box we have but today wasn't good

Different team...everyone being fit, that's his role with us.

Same player. He can't do it.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Same player. He can't do it.

We should sell him then because I'm not seeing anything in his game to suggest he's better, over 90 mins, as a CM.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

Is this the player that everyone said we missed so badly on Wednesday. He had a bad game today. He’s been probably our best player in the last month and a half. Give your heads a shake.

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

Midfield and all over the pitch you have to trust your team mates. That was definitely not apparent with Doucoure and Gilfy, Iwobi and Seamus. Trust is very important because with trust players can play their natural game. It just didn’t look like it was there today.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Think he's at his best when there's structure and balance.

Struggles a little when we have players like Rodriguez with license.

Reality is he was a pretty uninspired signing. He's fine but you don't pay what we did for fine.

Some very reactionary comments here, Doucoure is the least of our problems lads

 

[MACCA75]

Has been very good but was his worst game of the season today. Did nothing

It's never a good sign when a player is "the least of our problems." They almost always end up being a problem when people start saying this.
