2022/23 Abdoulaye Doucouré

[EFCPaul]

He's a bad egg and if weren't for the fact we might get a transfer ban I'd want him gone 100% when the season's over.

His 'revival' has been purely because he wants that extension, he was diabolical under Lampard, then sulked and basically stopped trying after losing his place. The manager shouldn't matter, give your all for the club that's paying you fortunes (he's one of our top earner). Selfish, selfish four-letter word. Can't bare him.

Kane was a typical play acting modern footballer, perfect hero for the arrogant self righteous English.
But Doucoure was at fault even without the gratuitous cheating from the penalty king.

There's no excusing hitting a guy in the face, whether it was full force or not

Doucoure fully deserves whatever is coming to him. If it were reversed and one of our players, we'd be screaming for a red all day

 

[Parker]

I don't think he's brilliant as a footballer, but he's been brilliant since Dyche has come in.

That energy on the front line will be missed.

He was foolish to expect a 30 odd year old fella would act as such.

Harsh comments on Doucoure here.

Any anger should be directed toward that utter snide Kane who provoked it all then dived like the turd he is.

 

[Zezti]

To be fair I'd love to slap Kane in his gormless mug too if given the opportunity.

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

He's an idiot. He played right into the horrid little snides hands. If he was going to act stupid like that, then he should've at least made it worthwhile and just outright chined Kane.

 

[The Hibbert Agenda]

There's so many ways to push or barge Kane over. He deserved it and then some.
Just don't touch the face. It's just such a dumb reaction from one of our more experienced, senior, recently high performing players

 

[Neiler]

Kane was pulling Doucoure's shirt and provoking him to push him and go down - oldest arl arse trick in the book.

If you watch it back, Kane kicks Gray when he’s on the deck, even before he gets tangled up with Doucoure, I think Doucoure was reacting to that to.

 

[bicycleheader]

I completely believe he meant to push him and missed his chest, just like when he swings wildly at the ball

Did some good running about for us lately, which had its impact, but it still amazes me how utterly terrible on the ball he can be

Hopefully garner can do his pressing game but use the ball better

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

I have no problem with what Doucoure did tonight. End of the day it wasnt a cup final / season defining game

No but the next 3 games he misses are potentially. What a silly thing to do.

The rules are the rules Dave, the face is a red card, it's harsh but it's literally the rules, you can't do it. This doesn't change the fact Kane is a snidehouse, but the boy's played it well and if it was the other way around you'd want a red given.

I would mate, because thems the rules but it is a bit galling to see Kane’s exaggeration to get him sent off when the contact in no way carried that much force to knock a grown man to the floor. and the same ban as the shocker by Moura!!!

For sure, but we didn't complain about the free kicks Richy milked when he wore blue for example.

Fair point of course although actually feigning injury to get guy sent off is a step up imo!
