2020/21 Abdoulaye Doucouré

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Said it in the Gomes thread - functioning midfield unit. And he's part of one currently.

 

[Mark barnett]

think his real value will come when we play the bigger sides

his peentrative runs from deep when where in a defensive postion could be key to us in these games

 

[Parker]

Really grew into the game today, his legs in midfield are now absolutely vital for us.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Has to cut those hospital balls out of his game. Having said that, he was everywhere today and when he outpaced Zaha you can see what he brings. Work rate is ridiculous. Pacy enough to keep up with most players.

 

[john jako]

Was my MOTM today. His recoveries are so good. Without him today we would of lost.

 

[hktoffee]

Pacy and have strength.

 

[nsno-chris]

He put us under pressure with so many loose balls. Massively needs to up his game

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Did a lot of good stuff off the ball in particular one challenge on Zaha. His physicality is vital in games like these.

 

[Blue Juice]

Much better second half

 

[LostLegend]

His passing was erratic at times but his ability to track his man and win the ball back was crucial today.
Had Zaha in his pocket for large parts of today.

 

[Zeitgeist]

Few stray passes but amazing energy and saved us at times

 

[jonnyboy316]

Sloppy in possession today

 

[ToffeeTim]

Energy is what grinds out results

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

Thought he was our poorest layer first half. Looked like he’d forgotten how to control the ball, kept popping up in the air. Also played two blind passes on the right hand side right across the pitch, both got cut out and a better side could have punished that. Second half, different player, his run to cover Zaha from the corner and tackle was a particular highlight. Grew into the game.

 

[maccavennie]

Better 2nd half
