Diarra lately

Haven’t read the thread or anything but imo I think our most expensive signing in history has been the worst of the lot we bought this season. Fair enough he got a long term injury which takes a while to recover from etc. but what position does this bloke play? He’s been out wide, behind the striker, centre midfield he’s never impressed me once at all

Do you not think the fact hes been all over contributes to him not settling as well as we probably hoped in the team? Certainly contributes for me

You said the worst happens was that its saved and Talbi taps in.. makes no sense. The worst thing would be his slot hits the post or misses completely.

Rooney has just said its harder than it looks with so much time to think. He would know.

You’re the one making no sense man, he’s highly likely not missing the target. Alright, worst thing that can happen, he trips and breaks his leg or he looks up and a seagull pecks his eye-out you know exactly what I mean.

I don’t disagree with that and I want him to do well here. I feel he’s been shoe horned into the side as soon as he came fit. He’s had good spells but overall he doesn’t look like the player we thought we signed for me

He had loads of time to think, he probably thought I'll try and slot him but then saw the angle narrowed and thought ive got to try and chip him here. All while thinking about the absolute scenes if he scores. He should have scored, but plenty definitely being harsh on him.

I see you edited in a seagull mention.

Are you talking about the player you assumed we signed or the club?

The stats and clips showed he carries the ball long distances, gets up and down the field. He played games at right wing for strasbourg and is a player who wins duels and battles.

Some seem to think hes like Sessegnon or a tricky number 10. I definitely think some fans think he's something he isn't.

and people missing penalties have plenty time to think about it. It was poor mate, let’s not dress it up as anything different mate.
I’m not blaming him for the defeat or saying he’s poor or anything like that, it’s ok to say someone’s decision was poor and you end up punished against the best, of which Villa are certainly among.

His decision was the wrong one, agree. Just one of them things against a World Champion. People have gone way overboard on him.

I agree it’s one of those things, we see it week in week out in football, just the wrong decision but my problem with him is that he’s not looking like he should be our record signing. Shows less than 50 percent of the effort and commitment of our other players.

He’s young and might improve but for now he’s a bit of a disappointment compared to the other signings contributions
 
Ffs it’s baffling. Onien was at fault for 3 of the goals and we calling Diarra out who played a key part in our first goal 🤣🤣
 
Diarra should just leave. If yer reading this put a transfer request in and don't look back. Has been subject to dogs abuse on social media from his own supporters. Being called a donkey is bad enough but then plenty calling him a **** too. Hope he goes for the sake of his own mental health. We sure are becoming kings of the North East....and that arrogance is seeping into the fan base. Very sad day.
