Diarra near the end

Can't understand how anyone could be criticized for highlighting Diarra's total lack of effort last night. He was dog shit and no one would take him off our hands after that performance. Needs a rocket up his ass from Regis.😡

Nah it was that I had likened his first touch to that of a .... predator. Which must be a bit much round here these days.

I’d argue that our wingers aren’t good enough to leave one of Enzo or Diarra out. One of them needs to play out wide.

Neither are wingers. Diarra in particular would look very out of place. Pick your best midfielders in midfield. Picknuour best wingers on the wings. IMO.

It always amazes me how we're one result from Europe or one result from being relegated in this place. What ever happened to just a little bit of level headedness on here?

It's hilarious and embarrassing in equal measures.

Life of the internet persona. Posters craving attention of any sort and interaction from others. I'm pissed off as I'm sure the players are as well as we have a good set of lads. We just have to move on to the next game . Some knackers are given a platform on social media to spout their clap trap. Don't feed their little egos
 
He was so poor. He is not the only one anyway. As a team, not very good.
Luke O'nien was terrible too.
That show we need another LB as a back up. Cirkin always injured that doesnt help.
 
He might be a good footballer but he needs to pull his head out of his arse and start showing it. Some of his performances have been absolutely shocking.

Having a pop at the fans after his and the team performance shows he doesn’t “get it”.

What type of gesturing ? Like a wanker signs or something

I'm struggling to describe it without having seen a video of it again - everyone on the right hand side of the away end will have seen it like. Kind of pointing and shrugging his shoulders at the fans? Very clearly annoyed at us for moaning/ having a go when he fucked up.

I like Diarra, he's a good player, there is no doubt about it. Every attacking player we have brought into the club over the last 12 months, wingers and strikers have been dismissed as shite by a lot of people on here. Just a thought, are they that bad? Or could it be that the formation, or coaching, or system prevents them from being attacking, driving forward, passing forward, hitting the by line and crossing the ball, AND actually shooting when they have a chance to? It can't be a coincidence that the players fail to impress in the attacking sense. One example is Adingra at Monaco now.... And interestingly the players that get all the plaudits are the defenders and defensive midfielders, perhaps that's because we are way too defensive.

Anyway, we've had a tremendous season so far, let's see how the rest pans out. Bring on the seagulls! HTL

I agree with much of that BUT we've not had a tremendous season, we had a tremendous start to the season, an awful middle of the season and we where looking promising again for the run-in.

What happened to the fantastic close season signings (the bestest ever according to some on here), the fantastic model, the "we'll be alright when the AFCON players are back" brigade … ?

Not good if so.
 
Our strikers offer so little, goal wise or in general play, holding up etc. Compare to LND when he was here, running channels, holding up, good interplay with wingers and mids. I was thinking it was mainly because of prem opposition, but yesterday showed how much is lacking in their game.

Played a quality ball across the box after tidy link up with Angulo but Mayenda didn't fancy it

He did, I don't think we're seeing the best of Diarra in this off the striker type of position. I'd rather see him RM where we're struggling with ELF in the 10

Ok but don’t let the wingers or the midfielders off the hook. None of them score goals which puts far too much expectation on the solitary striker.
 
Doesn’t take much for certain fans to pile on certain players
Rigg, Isidor, Diarra, Patterson, Neil ( maybe others I have missed ) all seem to cop the wrath
