Who do you want to play instead? He’s the same as Harrison imo in that regard, puts a shift in but offers very little, but we have no options. We’ve won 3 on the spin, yes the football is turgid but we are where we are and finally in a good run of form and looking (relatively) solid. Wouldn’t be expecting any kind of attractive football from this current squad or manager.
Who do I want to play instead of Doucoure?
For starters tonight here's the options
Dobbin - similar position he takes up for u21s and has pace
Mcneil - then have Dobbin on the left
Danjuma - then have Mcneil/Dobbin in Doucoure role and Danjuma on the left
Chermiti - let him find the space and play pressing up with a striker
That's literally just off the top of my head and the great thing is, in the main they can all control a football.
I'm not talking about playing like 1970 Brazil, I'm talking about a player being able to
A) control the round thing
B) pass the round thing in a fashion where it helps the teammate to be able to control the round thing
It's embarrassing watching a fella jog around with shins for feet blagging that it's all sound and then fans excusing it as if it's acceptable when there is actual real alternatives
