2024/25 Abdoulaye Doucoure

[jonnyg]

Ndiaye stuck on the left instead of central because of Doucoure.
McNeil stuck on the right and anonymous instead of central because of Doucoure.
Alcaraz stuck on the left instead of central because of Doucoure.

Neither is he trusted deeper in midfield.

This team has one glaring problem and that's two managers now who've failed to see it.

Pressing and runnning a lot are expected of every player. Even Ndiaye and Lindstrom do it, so it's really no justification for his inclusion.

 

[Lapeno77]

Genuinely didn't realize he was playing til someone mentioned him in the match thread.

The most anonymous performance from a player I've seen. Probably didn't get subbed because Moyes forgot about him.

Can't wait for the contract extension announcement in typical Everton fashion.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I don't know what goes on behind the scenes. I don't know if Moyes is purposely making us worse to try and get signings in (I doubt this level of conspiracy). As far as I'm concerned, Moyes has had his purple patch. We have been better, but being better than Dyche isn't much of anything accomplishment.

I will make an emotional and irrational statement here and now because this ish makes me sick. If Doucore is starting next week, I will lose all faith in Moyes's decision making. I hate this lack of accountability. He has been unbearably bad for months and clearly makes us a worse team. He has reached Iwobi at right mid levels of nothing player. There is no excuse for him playing. Absolutely none. There is no way he doesn't see it. We are wasting precious time on him when we could be finding out about other players.

Prove me wrong David. If this is how he bases his decisions next year, we are cooked.

 

[TheBigIguana]

It’s going to be very hard to trust the clubs direction for the future if he’s brought back for another year

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Another 90 minutes under his belt.

Quite laughable really.

More premier league experience baby

He is in for defensive purposes and he isn't a good defender. I've noticed he drops deep a lot and he doesn't provide any outlet for Beto or whoever is up top because his positioning is so bad. He runs a lot and that is it.

 

[Bob Elstone]

Brilliant athlete, woeful footballer

 

[jaycee]

I'm not arsed if he looks like a mixture of Maradonna/Pele in training, on the pitch he looks like a mentally challenged rescue dog, he's a black hole were attacks disappear

 

[RomanReigns]

Olympic standard stamina and endurance but conference league ability

 

[Clarky cat]

I saw him have the temerity to have a go at Branthwaite, Garner and Young today for not putting the ball where he wanted it.

 

[MACCA75]

I’m not against keeping him for another year. But as a starter, in that role, no thanks.

He can’t be an option because dinosaur managers won’t stop picking him. He has to go. Not even a choice for whichever dummy we employ next season.

Nah, time to free ourselves of these players.

The problem is that if we keep him he'll end up starting every game and I don't think we can take another year of that. That cross at the end should be enough to bench him for the rest of the season.

I saw the one on Branthwaite, good defensive header too. Sincerely doubt Doucoure could've done anything worthwhile if it was headed to him at that pace.
