I’m really pleased with Abdoulaye Doucoure’s revival at Everton which continued with his second goal in as many away matches at Chelsea on Saturday.
He wasn’t getting any game time under Frank Lampard and there were even questions about his professionalism and whether we’d see him in a blue shirt again but like I say regularly in my column, whether you want to be at this football club or not, you need to start putting performances in and since Sean Dyche has come in, Doucoure has done just that.
We wondered who was going to rise to the occasion and take these games by the scruff of the neck. Doucoure was one of the main men under Carlo Ancelotti and we hadn’t seen displays like that for a while.
