calcifer Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Just now, DCJonah said: Yep. I'm not saying he won't ever come good. Just right now he looks a complete bust. Yeah, frustrating player, as was Bailey. I am sure he will come good. But yes headless chicken moments, we could probably go through the Bailey thread at the start and pick out the same things.

My take doesnt seem so silly now does it? Was waiting for this I see your point, I do he came off the bench against Chelsea in the week to score, so you'd think that would give him confidence coming off the bench in this game but was the totally opposite, Emery"s decision to take Bailey off was bizarre in my eyes, utd had no answer to him, the chance Diaby had just shows there is something up, confidence probably, but if that chance falls to Bailey we score as for Diaby it's a mirror of Bailey 12 months ago, Emery kept giving him minutes even tho he was poor & come out the other end the player he is now, I firmly believe Diaby will go the same way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 In his early days he proved himself as an intelligent player. Right now he doesn't even look that, but that will come back. What is a concern is his inability to beat a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 So his goal against Chelsea done him no good, just like his goal against Burnley done him no good. Just not been good enough at all. Really poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digavilla Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I think it's different situation to Bailey. When we sign Bailey we just sold Grealish and am just happy to be free of relegation and Bailey replaced Trezequet, no high bar really. Now we are aiming top 4 it's different. To achieve that we need to be ruthless and if he's not performing, others should be given a chance or change the formation and play without him. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitvilla Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I thought the few minutes Diaby and Bailey were on together, the pairing looked bright. When Bailey went off Diaby disappeared a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Everyone comparing him to Bailey when he joined. I don’t see it. Bailey gave us more than him. Baileys main issue was that he was hampered by injury over and over again. Needs pressure off his shoulders for now. Would honestly send Rogers out ahead of him.

JPJCB Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 The rapidity of his decline is only matched by the rapidity of Bailey’s improvement. Every time Diaby gets the ball he looks lost for ideas. At the start of the season his awareness was excellent and he looked like he’d be an assist machine. What’s happened to him? It’s like there’s some kind of leverkusen curse where only one of him or Bailey can be on form at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted February 11 VT Supporter Share Posted February 11 Probably regretting leaving B04 seeing how good they are doing this year. But yeah, not looking good for Diaby so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 So low on confidence atm. Start of season he was placing his shots into the corners. His shot today was shocking. I reckon next year he’ll be quality. But needs some tuning up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I like him but it’s bit of a concern when a team can sell their best player and then be in contention to do a Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you comparing Leverkusen potentially winning the Bundesliga to when Leicester won the Premier League? Thats a bit of a stretch… Leverkusen have been one of Germanys biggest teams for years (despite the fact that Bayern had a monopoly on it with Dortmund being the only side seemingly capable of challenging them)… Leverkusen had had regular European football for years… Leicester had only just avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth and then went on to win the fairytale of fairytales 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft comparison. Bayer have never won the league before though so it will be a shock if they pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
