….he’s terrific, a managers dream.

His failings are all about his lack of quality on the ball but that’s more about the players around him than him.

Exactly. Eventually i want to see the club stop buying these players.
But if he has fire in his belly i will take him for now.

…you missed my point. Most teams have players in midfield whose job it is to do the hard work, have the physicality to get behind the ball, have the ability to recover when the ball goes beyond. Doucoure is that type.

What other teams tend to have is real quality alongside the grafters. It’s not so much what Doucoure lacks, it’s what the team lacks.

Those days are coming to and end now at this level if you want to be anything.
The whole of the brighton midfield graft like mad. But can also play.
Thats where you want to be going.

….there’s certainly more ways than one to skin a cat but we are in the present & in this moment I say he’s one of the first names on the team sheet & he’s doing a proper job. Lovely lay off for the Simms goal.

Appreciate what he does, not what he doesn’t do.
 
When Abdoulaye Doucoure gets the ball at his feet he reminds me of an awkward ostrich wearing high heels, but he's still putting the performances in and doing the business for us.

We have a team of complimenting, role players. I completely agree.
 
Piping down the clueless balloons in here on a weekly basis

I still want to see the club move on from players who struggle over a season to put in consistent performances. And can play. Was only the other week like the leeds game that his lack of technique showed when put through. Even the brentford game. Watch the goal again. He should have really been in on goal. It was his poor first touch why he wasnt.
Far far better last few games though in getting involved. To many times he's been invisible. And the truth is we need him to get involved in this relegation scrap. Its his level tbh.
