2024/25 Abdoulaye Doucoure

[LiamMadrid]

Doucs does work hard for the team and is committed, a pity he doesn't score as much as before.

 

[Lapeno77]

Latter day Carlton Palmer. Second touch is always a tackle. And he usually loses that too.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

I get what Walks is saying, he's a prem footballer of our club's current standing. To find a better player than him in that position would then facilitate us being a better placed club. Tim Howard was the same for us in the Moyes years, not good enough for a real team, but our 7th place level of goalkeeper. I hate seeing Doucoure play for us, but I also hate Everton being a relegation material side.

We went out and found 2 players better than him the summer one for less tham 10m and one on a loan.

Doucoure is terrible, the fact we pay this lad north fo 100k a week is exactly why we had points taken off us.

Won't find any disagreement from me. Played for a contract and went back to plop. Has scored some big goals for us however, it's not binary.

What was that shot when he was one on one? It was like his foot turned into a feather as he hit the ball.

Defender got to it 1st I think

He was so slow he didn’t even get a shot away, the defender got back and tackled him. Terrible.

Shouldn't have had the chance. Should've hit it earlier.

 

[Tel001]

So if he's not bigger than everyone at all times in all situations his physicality and energy are irrelevant? Don't be so silly, dropping him deeper has had a good effect on the team.

I've said we need an upgrade, but suggesting a player who's been a starter in the prem for 10 years should be nowhere a side that's fought relegation for 5 years is hyperbolic nonsense.

I liked the performance against Bournemouth, and hopefully Tim and Garner can come into the team and improve us, it's okay to say that without throwing hatred at a different player

Dropping him deeper has had a good effect on the team because that is were he can do the least damage .

When he plays further up the pitch we cannot create , hold possession, counter attack or pose any threat and we find ourselves camped in our own half getting battered .

He is shocking and offers nothing other than being able to run.

Even with McNeil’s free header … docs is in the way putting him off… McNeil still should have done better but doucs is always getting in the way of things, is offside or is wasting simple passes that should be leading to chances beacuse he has zero skill of footballing intelligence…

I can’t fathom how he is 31 and earning 130k a week as our highest earner

Second touch is usually putting his hands on his head and smiling like an idiot after watching the ball roll out of play. He is terrible

 

[Igrok]

He is a good match for a bottom 6 club…

 

[bluestevon]

He's not in his peak years, weird statement

Neither is Doucoure mate, he's 32 in January and looks to have noticeably deteriorated the past 12 months

 

[bluestevon]

Doesn't offer any protection to defence, adds nothing to midfield and poor attacking wise, lollops around the pitch like a dog let off its lead for the first time

Brilliant summary of what he is.
