He made the biggest contribution to this football club in modern times. I struggle to think of a moment as important to the club as his strike vs Bournemouth. All considered - we were in for a world of pain if we went down.

So pull your punches you horrors.
Contributed during the other 37 games that season to putting us in that position in the first place. Gareth Farrelly springs to mind.
 
Nah tbf can think of a few other games like Brighton away when he had a big impact
Yeah, he was usually good for a handful of clean strikes each season.

Upgrades him from Farrelly to Bilyaletdinov.

Another example of how the club was never going anywhere no matter how much it spent.
 
Has had good days, granted, but not enough. Could put that in every thread bar Branthwaite and Pickford mind.
Has had better days when we've had the likes of a Digne, a younger Coleman, a certain gordon, in the side. We've shopped the quality out and expected him and a few other incapables to carry the side. Unsustainable.

On a recruitment and managerial plane, he's been hung out to dry. Strangely it was only under fatso frank that he downed tools because he was being scapegoated.

To many splunk stains as manager have left us here, and age has caught him up a bit, and we are so one dimensional we often beat ourselves. He aint maradona like, but that fat-pig couldn't carry us now in his prime.

The mathematics of compound errors.

Disagree with this, he was carried by the other players mentioned and has been consistently poor with the odd good game throughout his Everton career. Lampard was spot on with him regarding his technical ability, and the day he sat on the ball at half time was when he lost any support I had for him (not that it bothers him I'm sure!). At his very best, he's a very poor man's Tim Cahill.

That's the thing, he was bought to be just that, then the side got downgraded around him and he was left to continue trying in futility.

This isn't a defence of the guy, my barbs for him are there to see, but we have to call it fair, he's been shafted by the higher ups and left to carry the can for them.

He's the highest paid footballer at the club, he should be carrying the can. Not enough of an engine or technical skill to be a centre mid, not enough composure to be a number 10, you can see why Lampard got frustrated at him, and it doesn't excuse Doucoure's behaviour that night for me.
