Diarra lately


He was one of very few who actually had a very good game today. He will learn from the miss. Let’s give him our support like we did with Enzo earlier in the season
I think the difference is that Enzo made his mistake after months of being one of our best players. Diarra on the other hand is quite often the reason our attacks break down with an overhit or sloppy pass. He appears to be a really poor passer of the ball and he’s not very good at shooting either, apart from having a great engine I don’t think he looks up to much at all. Makes it a lot harder to be forgiving after a monumental fuck up like today.
 
I think he often just lacks a bit of composure or his decision making is a little lacklustre at times, but I think saying he's a carthorse or a donkey is a little bit harsh. Hopefully with a proper pre-season and hopefully staying injury free will see him blossom a fair bit.
 
His penalty at Leeds , where he's trying to do the keeper dive other way thing, and then this today, tells me someone needs to tell him he is not Lionel Messi and to just do your job.......the likes of Alex Ferguson Mourinho, Roy Keane etc would knock it out of him immediately.
 
Far too early to judge him

However if the Saudi rumours are true!

Bit of a smash and grab from us if we can make a big profit.

Pissed me off today with that finish. Has to pass to Talbi.

Like Isidor at Liverpool, if you’re gunna shoot you cannot let the keeper get so close to you. Need to take it early
 
5 minutes to go and 3-1 down I was resigned to a defeat we deserved at that point. Bosh and kaboom we then have the win in sight bar one poor decision that has cost us a win our overall game didn’t merit. I’m gutted as that would have put us in pole position with 5 games to go. Never mind.
