avfc1982am Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Had a couple of dodgy moments today but overall excellent again. I love watching him play effortlessly at times linking everything together. Him and Kamara have been so instrumental in the change in fortunes under Emery. Long may it continue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Worst game for a while yesterday but the 8 paracetamols might explain that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Thought he went backwards a lot more than he usually does today. But he's always a 7/10 minimum these days. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Solid again today when he probably had more ground to cover with Kamara out. Him and McGinn done well today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Noel Posted March 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2023 I thought He was terrific today and has turned into a really important player for us. I have to admit that for most of his time with us I thought He was distinctly average, apart from that spell after lockdown. I have changed my mind about him this season and now see him as a top premier League midfielder and one that could drive us into a European place next year. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he really stepped up and ran that midfield today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May-Z Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Absolutely oozed confidence and had the passing range to back it up. Really good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 It's actually a scandal that this guy hasn't got a recall for Brazil this month, Joao Gomes from Wolves in the squad over him is a farce. He's been one of our best players all season and is definitely one of the top performing midfielders in the league now. Literally at least a 7/10 every week from him, another very good display again today. The irony is he was getting called up regularly for Brazil a couple of years ago when he was really inconsistent and made rash decisions, now he can't seem to get a look in but is actually performing far, far better for us. How he didn't get a World Cup place over Fred I'll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Every game Dougie trolls the opposition with some sublime skill which make them look silly. Today he trolled them with a simple feint @ 1:44 below : 4 minutes ago, Brumstopdogs said: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticeably dictating the play from everywhere on the pitch. Interestingly, without Kamara today and he was still roaming forward into dangerous areas. It shows how far we've come that there is now a trust that whoever pushes forward will be covered. He's becoming a fantastic all round player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 5 minutes ago, Brumstopdogs said: I just think Dougie is a player everyone else must love playing with. If the pass is on, he'll see it. He passes early and with good weight. You can drill the ball into him anywhere on the pitch. He doesn't overcomplicate things. And he respects his defensive duties. Yes maybe he doesn't have the athleticism to dominate a game, and he doesn't do quite enough in the final third, but he's one of those players you can just slot into any system and he'll probably do a decent job. And he keeps getting better. Really hope we hang on to him for a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Really becoming the player we thought he could when we signed him. £15m was an absolute snip. Suso really got the short end of the stick. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Definitely making a case for player of the season. He's an excellent player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 11 hours ago, Brumstopdogs said: he really is turning in to a superb player, the player we dreamed he might become when he first joined. He clearly fits Emery's system like a glove, and i find it super ironic that tbh, i think Emery is the first manager who has used him in the correct way. Smith always played him as the sole 6 (granted he had no choice - as we didnt have another DM who was good enough), Gerrard rarely played him (which is just unbelievable), Emery is using him as a hybrid 6/8 in a double pivot, suits him perfectly. If we were to sign another DM/MC in the summer, i think Luiz could also play the Buendia role, ie: starting on the left but cutting in to the midfield in a more advanced role, he has the ability i think. Either way, he is developing in to a superb player under Emery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osmark86 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Always thought that Luiz would become a really good player for us and it really looks like he's blossoming this season. Always performs well and is possibly our most consistent player this season. Another good performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Is Rice better than him? He's probably stronger and a better tackler but overall? If he is, there isn't much in it. My concern is whether that new contract contained some sort of agreement he could leave if an offer amounting to X arrives this summer. He's improved SO much under Emery. Way more than I'd have imagined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchy Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I rate Dougie but I can see him playing less often if the links to players like Merino are true as it would suggest we’re trying to upgrade him in the Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
