The thing is, we can question managers’ persistence with Doucoure all we like, but the fact he’s sprinting from his own half in the 93rd minute and getting on the end of chances kind of shows why he’s in the team.
We simply don’t have many players with that engine.
He makes me want to rip my eyes out at times, but he’s one of the main reasons teams haven’t been overrunning us in the middle this season.
…spot on, I call it powers of recovery. All legs and arms, hate playing against players like that, it hurts when they catch you as well. The defenders in the team will love him. Frustrating as hell in possession, though.
