2024/25 Abdoulaye Doucoure

[allen]

Is it still right that we haven’t won a game without him since Lampard was manager?

I don’t really understand his effectiveness most of the time, but occasionally there are flashes of competence. I thought he played pretty well against Chelsea. Didn’t give the ball away as readily as he has done.

I think the stat is that we've barely won a game since Lampard was manager.

 

[Joey66]

He cannot last more than 20 minutes .....

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

His pass accuracy stats must be some of the worst in the prem

 

[The Blue Watch]

Got the assist so he’s never getting dropped despite it probably being the only pass he completed for the last month

 

[jonnyg]

I thought he did very well today considering his usual scatterbrained-ness in attack. Carried it out from our box multiple times and shifted it to Harrison/Ndiaye. Solid defensively apart from one dodgy square ball that we got away with.

 

[Walken]

Work rate over the last three games was ludicrous, was crucial in that run of draws against 3 big teams

 

[Marius57]

While I think he is usually very poor technically, thought he he had a decent game today and was a very good assist.

 

[Tel001]

Ran around a lot = best game.

Can’t wait until he is gone. Huge reason why we are so crap when we win the ball.

But , but he saves us from relegation ..

I’ve been saying it from day one that he’s dog tied but get told on the regular that he saved us

I reckon Harrison beats his for losing possession , Harrison literally loses the ball or kicks it against an opponent 90% of the time

 

[No Alla Violenza]

I thought he played well

Again.

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

That has to be his best game in a blue shirt?

He’ll never be KDB, but can’t question his work rate.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Work rate is good , like Harrison though he’s an absolutely atrocious footballer

 

[maccavennie]

Yep, last 2 games he's been ok but he just constantly looks like he's either going to trip over the ball or trip over his own leg.

There's just no confidence that we'll create good enough chances without them breaking down when he's involved.

If he doesnt play, who replaces him?

We lose the running power both ways. Thats an asset for the team.

Fact is we have Ndiaye who can replace him and adds offensively what we may lose defensively.

However, we also then lose a left winger.

The reason Doucoure has this record seems to be that we dont have a replacement that wont negatively upset the balance.

Sign a couple of super wingers, move Ndiaye inside and we'll look better im sure.
