The problem is a game like today we’re always going to look 2nd best. Doucoure has never been a great technical player. Watched him enough at Watford to see he was average on the ball. And playing a deep block, means he’s on the ball more in his own half, it’s a recipe for disaster, same goes for Davies. And Allan to a lesser extent IMO. I think he’s better ok the ball but not fantastic.
Again a big problem is Allan playing the deepest midfielder which doesn’t suit him. If ancelotti is going to stick with this low block then Doucoure was the wrong signing.
At least one new midfielder is needed
