It’s not exclusive to Doucoure, and to Lampard though, is it?
Sadly, the players of the last 10 years have downtools from Martinez through to Lampard. The players lack any mentality to dig themselves out of any mess, and ultimately, it comes down to poor recruitment signing players who don’t have a winning mentality, or a point to prove.
These players don’t belong in a relegation fight, yet because they have no drive, we’re in it. Scattergun approach to signings have left us with a Frankenstein of a squad where there are representatives of 6-7 failed managers still hanging around.
