'Lies and stats' and all that, but even after considering that,... ouch, thats damning!

[Cods]

I'd be curious what the defensive stats look like as Im certain Doucoure covered some serious gaps in midfield.

KDH has impressed me a lot recently, I was not too high on the signing and feel he can get bullied a bit as he's small and a bit slow but he is a very good footballer and definitely a big contributor offensively which is a huge plus because few others in the team are.

Also seems like he's really enjoying himself which is always nice to see.

I'm pretty confident that as soon as we get more than just the 2 other technical footballers in the team (Grealish & N'Diaye), he'll go from 'good' to 'very good'.

[superpull]

All well and good, but just imagine what Doucoure would do in a Moyes set up.

[brap2]

Yeah I mean Doucs in his 30s playing under Sean dyche isn't a fair comparison I don't think.

I will never slag that man off, the games he ran through fire and flames for this club and the goals he banged at I portant times, what a man.

If you offered me a 25 year old Doucoure for this team I'd bite your hand off.

[Shogun]

Not to be compared imo. Same position but completely different players.

[Bumble]

If we had a KDH with a big athletic unit to sit alongside him it would transform that team. Imagine him with a prime Doucore ahead of him as well.

[Cantoffee]

Yes to be clear Im a big Doucoure fan and still think he'd have been an asset this season to us.

But KDH is a very different player and I've been impressed, especially recently.

[TheRam]

Bloody hell

[Cozzie]

Really is improving game by game. Immense at the moment.

[blueToffee]

Player of the season so far.

[Gary1878]

Stealing the show at the moment. Taking the pressure off of the others as well to produce.

Feels absolutely vital to our XI now.

[Lazarou II]

Kieran should be the first name on the team sheet at the moment.

Along with Jimmy Gardner.

[Duncandisorderly]

He's superb, at his worst he's neat and tidy on the ball, at the moment with a bit of confidence he's absolutely running the show, love him.

[Silas]

Mad how effective he is

[Matt1878]

Jack and Ndiaye receive the ball a lot when hugging the touch line, resisting the temptation to bunch inside and that gives KDH more space to play. Probably the biggest change in DM since his first stint, he makes the pitch much bigger when in possession.
