Yeah this is my take too. Doucoure isn't going to improve. I also don't think Charlie will ever have the same work rate of Doucoure but he can make adequate adjustments to improve defensively. I think this is also a squad issue too. Better...

We know he's not perfect but he does have a nack of putting the ball in the net. Feed him centrally & he will get us goals. Charlie & Beto is a thing. Again, not perfect but it is something tangible to work off.
