Kinel Doucoure can we put a footballer on in place of him now?

 

[Rita_Poon]

bit of diving going on to slow the game. poor!

 

[TheBigIguana]

Really classic Doucoure tonight

 

[zebedee]

Particularly for anybody who thought Moyes would be a significant improvement on Dyche.

We can only hope Moyes truly does work in the "fine margins" and gets some kind of uplift from the previous fella, but I doubt many managers would with these donkeys...

Long term your 100% right. First game that's a bit harsh. There's no instant fix here.

 

[Blue Roo]

obvious pen, what the f point

 

[eurosrees]

Doucoure mate, he gets the ball and stands still with it, drives me mad.

 

[wellillwill]

Doucs controlled a ball in the first half but then he's back to his best.

 

[Dixieslaces]

This refs a [Poor language removed]

 

[Lob]

Anywhere else on the pitch and it was a foul and Var cannot even give a foul in the box when they can study it. Wasting your time really.

 

[james2805]

What’s the point of VAR when you have two clear penalties in one corner and not one given.

I swear sometimes they don't even bother checking. Play wasn't exactly stopped for referee to communicate with VAR. Ridiculously pointless to have VAR if it's still pick and choose when to use it.

 

[Rita_Poon]

another flare up here...

 

[bluestevon]

He needs to get Gana off

Think Mangala is looking poor tbh mate

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Think Mangala is looking poor tbh mate

Yeah but Gana on a booking

 

[Bob Latchford]

Doucoure is really poor on the ball.

Oh, I'm patient. Any improvement will be incremental. Tonight will just sober people up and, hopefully, convince the new owners that they need to back their manager.
