Draedful tonight, absolutely shocking. I don't know if he was trying to do too much as the Donk wasn't up to doing what Kamara usually does, but he had a really poor game.

I think that's part of it, had to up his normal game tonight and ended up wrecking it.

Didn’t really get on the ball at all tonight, I know we struggled to maintain possession but I didn’t think he did anything really and certainly nowhere near his usual standards. I didn’t see it as trying to do too much to cover someone else, he just wasn’t involved and the game passed him by.

For a player to 'get on the ball', he needs to have people to pass to and who he can trust in tight areas. Frankly, Donk just isn't that man in the two in midfield.

Bad couple of games - but absolutely fantastic since Emery came, one of the best in the league. Everyone has dips, and the team is struggling a bit, he’ll come back.

He's been below his usual high standards for a month now. I'm blaming Alisha Lehmann.

He didn't show for the ball all night and was bullied in every duel. Up against Eriksen and a kid, I expected him to dominate.

He was poor last night, but has been fundamental to our growth this season so gets a pass for a game or two to sort himself out.

a) of course he showed for the ball, it's not a pub league game, he was shadowed by two men, and b) it's very hard to physically best any two men by yourself. The problem was he felt he had to do it alone because they clearly don't instinctively trust the Donk in tight situations, and in trying to be two players he became less than one.

Not liking these links with citeh and Barcelona. The media are doing their best to try unsettle him

Hopefully a new deals being prepared

"The media" couldn't care less who Douglas Luiz plays for.
