DJBOB Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Electric. Can't help but feel he should be played out wide a bit more but Unai knows best. Down the flank, he was killing Ward once he moved to the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Starting to see what people like Neil were saying on his podcast before we signed him. It was noted that one of his strengths is a consistent level of performance. So even when he isn't having the best game, he's consistently at a good level and can always make something happen. As opposed to the likes of Doku and whoever else we were linked with at the time. While they may have the odd 9 out of 10 and 10 out of 10 games... Diaby is more likely to give you a consistent minimum of 7 - 8 out of 10 every game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 This lad is absolute quality. That first touch for the non-goal was stupidly brilliant, the ball was really travelling and he controlled it with sumptuous ease. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 The final goal as well. 98th minute and still that pace and desire and then the composure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 He's so good. I can't remember the last time we signed such a good forward player who was already this good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted September 17, 2023 Author Share Posted September 17, 2023 Cracking player. Can see him playing as our out and out striker when Ramsey comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Touch of class this kid, always seems to be in control of the situation and makes the right decision, he never looks rushed. He’s a clear upgrade on the starting 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down the flank, he was killing Ward once he moved to the left. I'd initially tend to agree, but he's such a good finisher, I feel like you'd not be taking advantage of that by having him out wide.

Watkins probably goes across goal in the position and is invariably saved ir just wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Looks a threat every time he touches the ball. What a special talent. Incredible stamina too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enda Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 He’s our best player. Maybe Emi is better. But this fella is absolutely elite. That touch for his offside goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 What a player, Moussa is. Fantastic ability, willing runner. Right now, he's too talented for those around him. Yesterday, Zaniolo should have played him in and then Bailey should've done the same. You see his frustrations with his teammates but, hopefully, the link-ups will come and then we'll see him scoring loads. His off-the-shoulder runs and brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPJCB Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I found his finish for the offside goal even more impressive than the touch. The composure to wait a second rather than snatching, then calmly place it with his weaker foot. He’s a natural finisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Not often a player unites us all on this forum but it seems we're all seeing the same thing. Diaby seems to have it all though and the way he moves around the pitch is a thing of beauty and needs to be studied by physicists imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I'm so sad for him that his goal didn't stand, and actually a bit irritated over VAR and the rules. I of course get it that offside is offside and It's hard to argue against a goal being is disallowed when it is. But, the point with the offside rule is that a player should not get an extra advantage by being closer to the goal than the defender (and perhaps a lot of other things too). In this case where we are talking about millimeters there is no advantage what so ever. The only result is that a perfectly executed beautiful goal is disallowed. A sublime pass from Pau, good movement from different players, a super sprint, first touch and perfect shot - all ruled out because of this forensic approach to the game where we are striving for some kind of absolute justice by having computers calculate millimeters. It's just wrong, most didn't notice it when it happened and should better fall whithin some kind of clear and obvious-rule and with thicker lines being drawn by VAR or something.
