Doucoure either passes it back to the person who gave him it, or goes backwards/sideways. Summed it up late on when he just passed the ball out of play under no pressure
That you can't play Doucoure as a deep lying midfielder. It was obvious that wasn't working after 15minutes and he should have changed it then.
That first half was probably one of the worst 45mins of football I've seen us play since Derby County at home on Boxing day 1998. Grim stuff
….but I doubt it.
Harrison can’t cross a ball & if he runs into one more cul-de-sac/blind alley with the ball I’ll scream
DCL doesn’t look bothered to me, & is getting bullied by every defender we play. To be fair he can’t knock long balls down to himself & the only balls to feet are when he’s on the wing (why? Get in the middle!!!)
I heard someone on R5 say Doucoure spent more time marking Gana while Berge ran free. Fair comment….
I enjoyed the Beto/Keane combo & a bit of aggression is what we need. More of that please?
