2023/24 Abdoulaye Doucoure

[knowing your history]

He'll still be here next season. Ultimately the season rests on him being effective against Burnley, Sheffield United, Luton and one of Forest/Brentford. Best hope of scoring in the run in anyway.

 

[Sharpies volley]

Our worst footballer today. With United conceding so much possession you would think Andre Gomes should be on the pitch.

Absolutely woeful today but Harrison was our worse player. It's amazing isn't it that we were the better team away at Man U but probably only had about 8 men playing.

 

[mightymoyes]

Without the scruffy goals he's just a hindrance

 

[Axlswhk]

Work rate drops beyond recognition.

Playing very badly since he came back from injuries.

Conspiracy theory would suggest he can’t be arse after signing new contract.

 

[nsno-chris]

I’m glad this didn’t turn out to be true

Oh wait….

I look forward to him
“trying really hard” because this contract is up again

But suckers be suckers

 

[Delargeinho]

He hits the net time to time, but if we want to progress, we need a real number ten with much better technical abilities, that can create chances

 

[PhilM]

Doucouré did not have his best game at all and his recent form hasn't been stellar, but if people think he's the problem then they need to give their heads a wobble.

We have much larger issues than him.

But they still have to defend

 

[N0L1M1TK]

For me, I’d drop him.

For any one who can actually kick a football to one of his own team mates.

Lampard for all his flaws, saw what doucoure was - not good enough on the ball to be a premier league footballer.

 

[Kendal]

Overrated and overpaid

He is a massive problem tho. He gets in now cos he scores more than anyone else but he is absolutely crap

If he’s absolutely crap, I wonder what the others are who don’t score. Don’t get me wrong, he ain’t great, but we’re better with him than without.

 

[Delargeinho]

Defense starts in the attacking, but yes we drop too deep.

 

[nsno-chris]

It’s almost like the 31 year old played for a new contract

…agree. When he was out posters were desperate for him to be fit. His use of the ball in possession is poor but it’s always been that way. Along with others, his performance is poor but he’s integral to this team. What you see is what you get.

Personally, I just hope something clicks and goals start going in.
