Diarra lately

Looking at the slow mo I don't think the chip is a terrible choice or even badly executed. He does disguise it reasonably too as the goalie is on his way down before he actually kicks it.

The problem was that he was quite straight on so you have a limited amount of corner to pick out. The goalie doesn't rush at Diarra's feet so rounding him isn't that easy either.. The keeper doesn't give him any really easy options.

It was a decent move all round up to that point and Diarra has now got himself into those situations a couple of times recently which is encouraging and why he is in the team. Is be far more worried if him and the team were getting chances at all tbh.

As mentioned earlier, we lost that game due to the defending.

Diarra's all round play was decent IMO. GOod at his defensive work and was dropping deep to show for the ball a number of times with tidy control and lay offs. Nothing flash but it let us keep possession at times and helped pull players around the pitch a bit which you need to do to make things happen. It was also Diarra showing up in the channel and getting a cross in that led to Rigg's goal.

On the back of this post ive went back and re watched it and you are being very generous. It really was there for the taking
 
The more I look at it, the more I see what a fantastic save it was. I don't see much fault in what Diarra tried to do, to be honest. Keeper was sold one and was on his way to his left but somehow readjusted and got a hand to it.

Fortunately the 3 or 4 on here who want Diarra to pack his bags and fuck off will still just be a tiny minority at the games. Support from the club, team mates and proper fans hopefully helps the lad deal with the online abuse.

100% mate.

Find it ironic that those minority who want Diarra replaced with Le Fee in the middle would have been wanting Le Fee sold when his penalty v Brentford was saved.
