2020/21 Abdoulaye Doucouré

[Toffeelover]

Not bad at all for a player who only trained with the squad 3 times before today.

Real footballers do not need time.

 

[SiEdmo]

Don't know if anyone has said it but getting Patrick Viera vibes from this lad, that silky, can play and glides across the turf but big and strong too

 

[DrEFC]

Was so mobile yesterday, 100% what we've needed for years

 

[Paul Rideout]

It’s hard to quantify how much better we are with him and Allan being everywhere in midfield.

...oh, no it’s not - we’re 3 points better.

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

What a tackle that was when they broke from a corner!

Interesting to see he came out & did the interview.

Looks like a leader to me. Captain material.

 

[jamieni]

Looked very assured.

 

[Parker]

We have only signed 1 Doucoure right?

Seems to be about 4 of him on the pitch at any give time.

 

[Harryflashman]

Looks like a leader to me. Captain material.

Suddenly we seem to have a few of them

 

[Deco]

"The Duke" is a fantastic nickname too.

 

[SuperKev91]

Has anyone got the footage of that saving tackle on Moura? Can’t tell whether he had a lead on him or he caught him up, either way it was impressive pace which I hadn’t expected.

 

[yakublue]

Thought he was brilliant, exactly what I was hoping for. Physical, mobile, and trying to push forward in possession. Having him and Allan as a central midfield partnership is magic.

If anyone else is interested!

 

[Arteta10]

If anyone else is interested!

Boss moment that.

EXACTLY what we wanted to see from him

 

[SuperKev91]

Boss moment that.

EXACTLY what we wanted to see from him

He did indeed catch him up, that extra half a yard of pace when he saw the danger is magnificent, fair [Poor language removed] play.

Took up some good positions in the attacking box, felt like Richy should have played him in for one, and James mis hit shot, Doucoure was lurkin' just behind. Not sure he'll ever have Viera's mean streak though.
