2024/25 Abdoulaye Doucoure

[Neiler]

 

[Ged G]

All in all, has done well.

 

[Ged G]

Still this.

We've had some shockers attempt to play for us, and they're miles apart from Abdoulaye. Far from a refined silky football artiste, but does our cup runneth over?

Of course, we could have had better.... Modric, Rodri, Messi, De Bruyne, etc... but we could not agree terms apparently...

 

[Ged G]

Because he earns twice what most of them do

That is not his fault...

 

[hallamblue]

That is not his fault...

I didn't say it was his fault, I said it was the reason he gets more stick. If you're going to be paid £100k a week at Everton you should be our stand out best player.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Give it a break mate...

Nope

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Jeez. Just enjoy a last minute, away day winner.

Never!!!

I'm glad that Doucoure was capable of scoring all alone with an open goal.

And I have no doubt that his far better replacement will also be capable of scoring the easy goals, and also other things.

You can knock him for certain things today.
Buf that was a brilliant finish .

He just hit it on goal.
He didn’t place it

Yea. He did .

 

[Charro]

Has a 79% pass completion rate which is a lot better than James garner for a comparison.

Not to mention his work off the ball and his ability to make an impact in the final 3rd.

He’s been a really good player for us.

 

[TheBlueBlitzer]

Keep him on lower wages

That passing stat should be multiplied by the percentage of time he actually take a pass and controls it. His receiving and control let's him down at a high rate. But I take your point.

Armstrong is playing deeper at Derby and his pass success rate has been lower also. Mostly in the 60s. 57% today.

 

[Martin Alvito]

He's like Pesci says in JFK. Mystery wrapped inside a riddle inside an enigma. Waste of time, trying to figure this one out.

On lower wages or not at all, is my practical advice. Great tackler, stats prove it, not much else at this level.
