Diarra lately


Hopefully after a full pre season we see the best of him next season. He’s been largely disappointing.
I’m hoping it’s just been because he’s had a stop-start season. Early season he showed glimpses and was solid against the Mags and Spurs.

Should never have tried to dink it over one of the best keepers in the world at 3-3, it was the worst of his options by far!
 
I'm really encouraged by him getting the chance. We don't have anyone else who can get ahead of the ball from the middle of the park the way he can. He's looking a lot better of late.

Of course, it was a poor decision but it's something for him to work on in training.

I usually find that people who can’t justify their opinions & just come back with stuff like that are the thick ones.
Onien did a pretty good job at justifying my opinion himself. Nothing else to say on the matter. He’s cost us 4 goals in a single game and there’s still people trying to defend him.
 
Really really bad decision at the end, but I though he actually played well today and has been getting better recently. I get that people are rightly pissed off with him, but let's not go overboard.
I thought he was quite poor today tbh. He was quite negative and slowed us down a few times, also had some poor touches.

Looking back it was a great save actually, not a bad effort. Still the wrong choice as Martinez has no chance if he goes either side.
 
"This board man"

Are you serious? The squad will be as furious as us.
Aye. Mukiele seemed to still be fuming as he was being booked. Gestured towards the far end of the pitch as couple of our players came over towards him while he was getting off the floor.
 
Aye agree mate he arguably made the wrong decision but footballers back themselves to score in that situation. It's not FIFA where you can see the easy pass to square it.
Agreed, but it’s just very frustrating as we would have been 6th if he played that pass.

Never mind though, onwards and upwards.

Had all the time in the world and decided to go for the hardest possible finish, surely you go for the highest percentage option for a goal, a hard side foot to either corner, or even lay it off to Talbi for a tap in. Can't believe we may miss out on Europe because of pure cockyness, that's the bit that really infuriates me, our strength is the team ethic, so individual cockyness is not a trait we expect to be our undoing. Really gutted about that

That’s what I’m also hoping, I called him uttter, utter shit earlier but more outa anger than owt else, I’m sure there’s summit in there, he was extremely highly rated for a reason.
