2023/24 Abdoulaye Doucoure

Doucoure has improved his game marginally and deserves credit for that, but he shouldn't be starting major games and rather come on at 60 minutes.

The role he's deployed in is totally ineffective in the majority of home matches.

The set up is completely wrong at home, hence the worst calender year of results in our history.

Doucoure works away from home, the system works away from home (though it isn't pretty to watch)

But at home, like you mention Doucoure is just a spare part and very rarely has any kind of influence (last game of the season apart of course!)

If Dyche is going to insist on setting up the same at home then the Doucoure role defo needs someone with a better skillset, we are playing with 10 men at the moment.
 

wouldn't doucoure's pressing be better suited in the CDM / CM role which garner currently plays

wouldn't garner's passing and creativity be better suited in the CAM role which doucoure currently plays

why not swap garner and doucoure's position and see how it goes

Doucs playing CDM would be interesting, for about 15minutes till he got sent off, hes not very good at tackling.

Absolutely. There was a communication that went out this year, in that players who 'kick the ball away' (can't think of exact wording) will be punished by yellow cards. The marking of the moment it is considered an offence to do so is signalled by the refs whistle. There was two occasion that they did that, as clear as day, yet the ref let it slide. That was a clear deliberate decision by the referee to not apply the laws of the game, driven in my opinion, entirely by the colour of their shirt. To make it worse, he books Doucoure for bringing it up with him.

Yeah it was a disgrace mate there were a few naughty challenges from their players that went unpunished too they were trying every which way not to let us win that game
 
Really difficult to have passages of play with football when your number 10 simply doesn't know how to make a simple pass 9 times out of 10.

That through ball to put Mcneil through, I'd sub a professional footballer off for that.

Absolutely abysmal footballer 99% of the time
 
Half time show explaining what most of us are trying to say about Doucoure, he might score big goals for us, but he also hinders us playing the number 10 role as he can't pass a football at the consistency required for a number 10. We need better, but being in the position we are as a club, we won't attract it.
