….points again when he’s in the team, can’t really argue with the stats but his frailties highlighted when he took too long when in on goal in the first half.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Dyche keeps that CM axis, with Doucoure at no10 ahead of Mangala/Gueye. It means he can bring McNeil back in a wide position.
Genuinely cannot remember a single moment he did anything decent today Eggs, touch bad, looked slow, even his normal energy and harrying players wasn't present.
Three moments summed him up - early on being out clean through with a step on the CB, the CB reached the ball 3y ahead of him, played in for a decent chance had DCL wide clear - two great options, first time shot or laying it off - he chooses option 3 - take a touch and let's the CB easily get the block in. Third - Lindstrom spot him on the shoulder of the CB, plays a beautiful ball in behind meanwhile Doucoure decides to not run there but instead the opposite way into another CB, makes it look like a horrid ball from Lindstrom when it was actually a great decision just to a player with zero instincts
