maqroll Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Looked frustrated when he was subbed off. Doesn't seem to get involved much lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 A combination of low confidence and trying too much. Playing too “tight” Compare him to Bailey. Bailey was so relaxed he almost scored on both ends of the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted December 17, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2023 Seems he struggles a bit of there's not much space to run in behind. I'd like to see him be played in the Bailey role a bit more where he's playing in his more natural winger position rather than second striker. I'm sure he'll come good again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villaglint Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I think a little bit of it is form and a little bit of it is teams have tweaked the way they set up against us. Most sides have figured out if they press us high we play through them and create chances/goals so a lot of sides give us our own half and sit in a mid block or low block like today. That narrowing of the space removes some of Diabys main weapons (good decision making when running at pace). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very true but i suspect emery will find further ways to counter this Diabys just going through a purple patch at the mo. We may have to play him abit further down field for a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Note to Dem - a purple patch is when something good happens. This isn't a purple patch for Diaby mate, far from it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oishiiniku_uk Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Someone should show him tapes of Bailey in recent games. The number of times Diaby received the ball on the wing and then just gave it back. Maybe it was team tactics, but I was surprised he didn't try and go past his marker or put a cross in even once.

Tomaszk Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Bit huffy recently. That's what's costing him possession and chances. This isn't the Bundesliga now pal. Every game is a pain in the ass and a right slog. Come on. Buck up. You're good enough. We need you back at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Just now, TRO said: Mauve, maybe? Anything but "purple." It's strange just how poor he has been in contrast to his early season form. Every cloud though, look how Bailey is suddenly looking, he's Mark Walters, but with pace. Trust me, that's a good mixture, to be able to dribble at that speed, he's becoming a nightmare for full - backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
