2023/24 Abdoulaye Doucoure

[Goat]

We weren’t dead and buried, we were one win from safety, yes we managed to stay up again by the skin of our Teeth, that’s the reason he got the job because we were in the position we were. He did what he had to do, but let’s not make out he was a miracle worker.

But we should also not make out that without a points deduction we would be sitting pretty in 12th.

If anyone's that stupid, it would be rude not to.

The only team stupid enough to do that would be us 5 years ago.

Let's hope we don't do an Avengers style Time Heist, as that £50m will add to our rolling losses.

Dont dare do it 2019 Everton.

and possibly two wins from safety

Is anyone saying that? He’s done a good job under very difficult circumstance. Let’s not forget we should be sitting in 12th place on 27 points now.

Doucoure was decent under Ancelotti. Our nose dive down the table towards the end of Ancelotti’s last season coincided with an injury to Doucoure.

He was, but he was an absolute water carrier and nothing more, because Ancelotti saw his strengths (in the setup he wanted to play of course).

Not saying it's not an important quality or anything like that, just that for certain setups he has limitations - for example when ball retention and forward passing is required.

Wasn't it under Carlo that pundits were saying what a good job he'd done, getting the best out of Doucs when he'd scored a few goals when we had a good start to the season? Sure I remember that.

Has it been reported anywhere how long Doucouré is our for? I wish they would ask these questions at the press conferences.

Dyche just said he's out. He rarely, if ever, puts a timeframe on injuries.

He said its more long term vs the others...so expecting at the very least a month

 

[Tel001]

Are you saying Lampard knew what he was doing?

Lampard was clueless but even he knew that you need footballers to be able to actually kick a football properly

 

[Rita_Poon]

One. Man. Team.

How did we end up here.

 

[knowing your history]

Guess he got a reaction after the Villa game.

He's going to be a miss for Fulham and Spurs with the quality those two have in midfield.

Onana-Garner is alright....but not as the only two centrally.

 

[Bebeto]

And the run goes on...he is vital to us.

 

[brownmola]

10 year contract asap. We will never win another match without him.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Tot him out as a number nine. He scores more than our strikers combined.

 

[maccavennie]

Absolutely embarrassing that we are relying on a footballer who can barely control a ball, to help improve our form.

Shocking admission of Dyche being a very limited manager.
