TRO Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) 2 hours ago, tinker said: I think that's where he struggles, aggression. He's not the biggest but he seems to have been lacking in aggression. After that point he seemed to just get stuck in more, not going to win every header or challenge but he needed to try, after that point he did and it made a difference to his influence on the game. I agree. I often talk about having bigger players, but I am acutely aware, smaller players with aggression suffice part of it...Salah, Aguero, Messi all show/showed controlled aggression. Moussa imo is still acclimatising to the Prem, and it takes various players, varying time scales. He will adapt, I am sure. I think when he gets right, the resistance to the bullies, and adapts a more physical stance, ( and that can also be timing) we will see the best of him.

CVByrne Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Diaby has had a good first season. I'm sure he'll improve next season too. Lots of competition for places is what we've needed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Had his best game in some time. the timing is perfect, if he can keep up this level to the end of the season then we could clinch 4th and a trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diaby got 6 goals and 7 assist in an apparently terrible season. Interesting but two incomparable seasons in terms of performance level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many are doubting his potential? Some have criticised some of his performances, and rightly so. But I don't think there's too many of us saying he certainly won't come good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The settling in at a club is such a massive deal. We absolutely live in a world whereby if a transfer doesn’t immediately pay dividends on the pitch, then a player is shit. It’s madness! Bailey, Watkins and Konsa should all hold as examples of players who adapt, settle and then improve. Diaby has the skill set to absolutely fall into this (and he’s had a good season in any case). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mottaloo Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Hoping (against hope) that he does a Bailey and turns his form around but I wouldn't count on him in the trenches, based on recent performances. Was no surprise to see him substituted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
