messi11 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Very good game. He's keeping the ball a lot better under Gerrard, but so is every other midfielder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has changed is that the other players around him are looking for short, quick passes, which suits him. I also think he looks a little bit stronger. I always thought he would bulk up a bit as he got older, but last couple of months there seems to have been a marked change in his physique. We really need to hang on to him if we can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alisha is giving Doug a lot more exercise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 That back heel in the second half under pressure. Pure filth, he is so classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) He’s really strong / hard to knock of the ball. Hope he has a contract lined up because he is only going to get better. Edited December 15, 2021 by Villa87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won’t see them for the next few days. Maybe if he has a bad game at the weekend 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted December 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) Dougie is bloody brilliant. I really like him playing as a number 8 in Gerrard's system. Thought he looked better when Axel came on yesterday and he had more freedom to go forward. Though he was excellent before that still.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 He seems to really enjoy " Samba " and flowing football. It's where he thrives. Still see him as an all round midfielder. I think the bloke is even capable of playing in a creator role behind the forward line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just got an understanding of the game which means he can most probably play anywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always rated him and think we should move mountains to keep him around. will only become better and better imo and he's still very young. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPJCB Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 He’s been decent but if Marv was fit then he’d be the one of the three CMs that I’d drop. I don’t think his performances justify a lot of the hype on here and McGinn and Ramsey have both outperformed him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
