2020/21 Abdoulaye Doucouré

[ToffeeTim]

If he broke his foot he would have said?

Could be due a procedure or another check or something. Probably didn't want to give a time frame when he's not sure. Sounds like pretty bad news anyway.

 

[ValBlue]

‘Some games’ doesn’t sound too reassuring to be honest

 

[maccavennie]

Would have beat them about 15 nil if he'd been playing.

doubt it a lot myself, said James and co have little Injurys and were back next game [v west brom], then we get to west brom and says we didnt have enough time to recover [so in other words they were always out],

Our champions league run is done for me if he is genuinely out for more than 2 weeks/games. Hopefully it isn’t serious

We'll be fine with Davies and Allan I think. But we do need to allow someone to get into attack the way he does.

If Carlo starts pairing James and Siggy again, it’s game over. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that with Andre showing no consistency

Diamond with Davies/Allan deep and the other box to box, Gomes the other box to box and James up top. I'd say Iwobi instead of Gomes but that is never happening. But that is how you keep Sigurdsson out.

I can't be having the diamond.

It's crap with the players we have.

Dom is better up front on his own. James is better drifting infield. Play a front three.

 

[BlueToff]

Confirmed he did it against West Brom. No idea how long he's out.

I reckon it's gonna be a month at least.

Yeah the club tweeted it about half an hour ago

That's fine, it still sets up as a diamond though because James will drift from the right toward the center and Richarlison will end up in central areas off the left. If you're playing a 3 man midfield and James, Richarlison and DCL up top it kind of starts to go diamond like just naturally.

Great.

With this and the fact we can’t rely on JRod being fit for the next couple, I think this is what will come back and bite us on the arse.
